To
enclaves of young converts tucked away in the mountains of Asia Minor,
Paul wrote what is perhaps the oldest document in the New Testament - the
letter to the Galatians. What problems were they facing?
Among
a variety of religious authorities espousing different teachings, how were
they to know who was wright? How were men and wemen to be put right with
God? How could Christians in the midst of a pagan culture live lives
pleasing to God?
'Only
one way' - answered Paul, 'though Jesus Christ'. His answer holds true for
us as well. The details of our struggle have changed since Paul's day, but
the principles he sets forth are as timeless as the Lord he exalts.
In
this book John Stott helps us to understand and apply the message of
Galatians in the face of contemporary challenges to our faith.
