Abstract

The letters of paul are the first written communication following the crucifixion of Christ. paul's letters at first appear to be more written commands rather than correspondences. The letters of paul are usually interpreted as laws given by paul to different peoples concerning the worship of God. However, when read much closer, you are able to see more than just his commands but also what life was like in the first century and many different aspects of paul's character. The main letters that most people read are his letters to the Romans and Corinthians. paul established the city of Corinth before he left on his travels so these letters are much more personal than the ones to the Romans. paul uses his letters to answer questions the people have regarding practices of their faith and to "force" upon them the importance of practing religion.
