Synopsis

This narrative commentary explores Paul's letter to the Galatians by placing it in the larger context of Paul's life and ministry. Combining cultural and archeological research, Rev. Dr. Johannes W. H. van der Bijl draws together details from the book of Acts and the Pauline Epistles to offer us a unique glimpse into the real-life issues facing Paul, Barnabas, and the first-century church. While centred on the writing of Paul's letter to the church in Galatia, the author follows Paul's story and theological development through his early life and conversion to his ministry in Antioch and first missionary journey. By presenting Paul as a tangible, flesh and blood human, readers will better understand the message of Galatians - that there is unity and freedom to be had in Christ.
