    Part two in our series on the enduring challenge of Paul's letter to the Galatians guided by Emeritus Professor Chris Marshall. Chris gives us a lens what an apostle was, and Paul's legitimacy problems at the time. Paul's message still matters today because it calls us to a life shaped by God's grace, liberation from exclusionary identities and active love.

    Read excerpt

    We begin a six part series on the enduring challenge of Paul's letter to the Galatians guided by Emeritus Professor Chris Marshall. Chris begins taking us through why this letter matters, the conflict behind it and argues that Paul was actually ahead of his time as he defends salvation by faith in Christ alone, over Christ + law.
