Let's Study Galatians

Paul’s letter to the churches of Galatia seems to burst on the reader like a sudden storm. The issues it raises still generate controversy, even after two thousand years of church history. In large measure this is because what was at stake when Paul wrote was the gospel itself. The question of whether human works were to play any part in the justification of sinners had to be answered clearly if the fledgling Christian movement was to prosper. And Paul was determined to answer it with total clarity. This explains the vigour and energy of his language, and the impact the letter has had down the centuries. Derek Thomas explains the issues dealt with in the letter and refutes the contentions of the so-called ‘new perspective’ on Paul. His book is an important addition to this expanding series of study guides.

'This is a thought-provoking study on the book of Galatians, which a few members of our church are using for a small Bible study. There are questions to discuss for each chapter included at the end of the book, along with a reminder of which chapter to read next. The content has been helpful to me, bringing to light the larger picture of Paul's letter to the Galatians than I typically get in reading through the book in several sittings. Mr. Thomas has a pretty engaging style, though I have seen him use an abundance of exclamation points in his writing - this does seem to communicate his zeal, though!' Gwendolyn L. Hill
