Galatians was probably the first letter ever written by the apostle Paul. The concern with which he deals - the relationship with which he deals - the relationship of Christian believers to the Mosaic law - was a major problem in the apostolic church, and remains so today. As then, the issue affects our understanding of the doctrines of justification (becoming right with God) and sanctification (developing a holy life). A misunderstanding and a wrong application of the relationship can result in several pastoral concerns such as the nature of assurance (basis of salvation) and the unity of the church (what is required for membership). David McWilliams brings us to an awareness of Paul's teaching on these doctrines that will help us understand and refute errors of the new perspective on Paul.
Practically you can see how to avoid the pitfalls of legalism (on one side) and license (on the other). By learning more about Galatians you will discover the role of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life.
Mentor commentaries combine a high view of scripture with access to the latest academic theological research. This unique combination allows the reader to see what recent scholarly research has discovered without losing sight of the inerrancy of scripture.
