Reading Galatians - Paperback
Reading Galatians - Paperback
About this item
by John Anthony Dunne (Author)
Galatians is simultaneously one of Paul's most well-known and least understood letters. At times Galatians is reduced down to a single concept, like freedom, or to a single passage about either justification by faith or the fruit of the Spirit, and yet the personal and scriptural argument that Paul was making to his original readers is usually ignored in the process. Instead of treating Galatians like a first draft of Romans, as is also typically done, Reading Galatians highlights the unique features of Galatians, which make it peculiar among the writings of Paul. It also overviews Paul's engagement with the Galatians from his initial ministry among them to what transpired after he left and all the way through to his multifaceted response, what we can glean about their reaction to it, and why it still matters to us today.
