“The Salvation of Gentiles in Galatians”
Paul’s letter to the Galatians is a
letter of rebuke, chastising them for turning away from the message that Paul
had proclaimed to them and accepting a different gospel. Other missionaries for
Jesus that came after Paul’s departure had convinced them that it was not
enough to believe in Jesus and his God, but they had to finish the job by
becoming Jews, including circumcision for all the men and keeping all dietary
laws whether they were men or women. We will explore how Paul dealt with this
issue and how this may be relevant today.
