The Holy Epistle to the Galatians

Book excerpt: Paul was a prodigy educated in the most elite schools of Pharisaism. He wrote and thought from that Jewish background, rendering several key passages of his work incomprehensible to readers unfamiliar with rabbinic literature. This collection of sermons on a Messianic Jewish approach to Galatians opens Paul's world and provides the historical Jewish context necessary to decipher the epistle. In an easy-to-read, narrative style, Torah Club author D. Thomas Lancaster takes his readers from one end of the epistle to the other, challenging conventional interpretations and offering new insights to reveal the Jewish Paul.--P. [4] of cover.
