Saint Paul's Epistle to the Galatians: DE

J.B. Lightfoot's "Saint Paul's Epistle to the Galatians" offers a penetrating, historically grounded reading of Paul's letter to the churches of Galatia. Lightfoot reconstructs the circumstances that made the controversy so urgent-especially the pressure to treat circumcision and the Mosaic law as necessary for Gentile believers-and shows how Paul's argument is both theological and practical. He traces Paul's line of thought with close attention to language and structure, clarifying how the apostle defends the divine origin of his gospel, insists that justification rests on faith rather than law-works, and exposes the spiritual inconsistency of adding religious requirements that undermine grace.Saint Paul's Epistle to the Galatians is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1890.
