Paul's Letter to the Galatians: Christ is the Turning Point
Join Dr. Andrew Das in this Galatians bible study as he shares the unfolding drama and eternal lessons of St. Paul's letter to the Galatians. Read Dr. Das's work in the Concordia Commentary on Galatians: https://www.cph.org/p-24356-Galatians-Concordia-Commentary.aspx Here in session one, you'll begin with Galatians 2 explained by Dr. Das, followed by a deeper exploration of the tensions that existed between jewish and gentile Christians in Paul's ministry. The great question was whether gentiles needed circumcision to be received into the church, but Paul stood firmly for the Gospel and preached justification by faith, not works of the Law. He was even so bold as to bring an uncircumcised gentile convert, Titus, with him among the jews in his ministry, in an effort to show that in Christ there is neither jew nor greek, circumcised or uncircumcised. All become one in the body of Christ. This series on Galatians cover's both the ministry of Paul as described in Acts 13-14 an the epistle to the Galatians itself. Dr. Das shares Paul's greatest concern, namely, "How do Christians relate to the Law?" Relying on the words of Christ and the Prophets, learn about Paul's message of Christian freedom in Christ and how it still applies to you today.
