Galatians, Philippians, and Philemon Resources

This charitable organization started in Kenya is dedicated to providing help to former prisoners. Hmm. Maybe they should have called it Onesimus Ministries instead.

Named for our favorite biblical author, this is one of the must-see sites in London. The cathedral famously survived bombings during WWII and hosted the wedding of Charles and Diana as well as the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill. So, yeah, it's kind of a big deal.

The Word of St. Paul is a term for what happens when an authoritative source, other than the original author, fills in key information about a book, movie, or TV show. Yup, that sounds like Paul all right.

Every year, this Japanese college holds an event called the Vera Festival. It's named for the Latin translation of Philippians 4:8: "Quaecunque Sunt Vera." In English it means "Whatsoever is true." Way to bring the truth, ladies.

A 1981 movie starring Anthony Hopkins as Paul, in conflict with fellow apostle Peter. What else is new?

This mini-series follows the story of Paul throughout his entire life. We promise it's still "mini."

A 2005 play that portrays Paul as being tricked by Peter and Mary Magdalene into seeing Jesus on the road to Damascus. Hilarity does not ensue.

Here's the New Revised Standard version of this bad boy.

Because we know how much you love reading through other people's old mail.

For all your anti-slavery arguing needs.

In the movie The Last Temptation of Christ, Jesus imagines that he survives the crucifixion and then runs into Paul preaching about him years later. It's kind of awkward.

The creator of Veggie Tales has an awesome (and super adorable) web series called What's in the Bible, which includes this video detailing all the places Paul ever visited.

Professor John Dominic Crossan talks about his book In Search of Paul on Fresh Air.

New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman discusses the lives of three major followers of Christ: Peter, Paul, and Mary Magdalene.

This funeral anthem for Queen Caroline of England quotes from Philippians 4:8 when complimenting her late Royal Highness: "If there was any virtue, and if there was any praise, she thought on those things." She sounds like one swell lady.

Tim Hughes picked up his guitar to write this contemporary hymn after being inspired by reading Philippians 2: "Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, here I am to say that you're my God." We think Paul would approve.

The second verse of this hymn—"Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God"—is inspired by none other than Galatians 6:14.

A map of the Roman Empire with all Paul's favorite vacation spots highlighted.

A facial composite of what Paul might have looked like live and in person.

One of the stained glass windows of this church shows Jesus surrounded by the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23. Sadly, mangos are not included.

A tiny fragment of parchment from Paul's Epistle to Philemon. Only about a thousand more pieces to go and we'll have the whole thing!

Misspellings give us the giggles.

One of the largest churches in the world, St. Peter's Basilica in Rome is also rumored to be the place where Peter's body was buried. If it were up to Paul, this would have just been called Cephas' Place.

Not quite as big and not quite as famous as St. Peter's, but it's still nice. We guess Peter won this round. Sorry, Paul.

In 1934, the BBC's logo briefly bore the Latin slogan "Quaecumque." Which, because you've got loads of Latin and biblical smarts, you know translates to "Whatsoever" and is a reference to Philippians 4:8. Duh, right?

Seriously, colleges really love Paul. The words on the seal of Northwestern University also read "Quaecumque sunt vera," the Latin translation of Philippians 4:8.

Located in his birthplace, which is now in modern day Turkey, this church dedicated to Paul hasn't held up quite as well as St. Paul's in London.
