In Defense of the Gospel: A Journey Through Galatians (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798868506864)

Paul provides a reasoned defense for the truth of the gospel and what it means for us as believers. The issues faced are as true today as they were when the letter was written. Believers in the Galatian churches were being misled by a group called Judaizers who were teaching that the one true gospel was incomplete and required adherence to Mosaic Law (including circumcision) to be whole. First, Paul defends his credentials as the right person to be delivering and teaching the one true gospel to these people. Second, he defends the gospel by explaining how it was given to him and uses Old Testament text to make his argument for its truth. Finally, Paul urges the believers to root out false teachers and lean into the Holy Spirit with their lives. In the end, Paul leaves no room for any valid argument against the one true gospel. I'm Dennis Thornton. Although I'm new at being an author, I'm not new to wanting to understand and apply the Gospel to my life. I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior in my 40s - yes, I was late to the party. My expertise, if I have any, comes from study, prayer, and trying to apply what I have learned. My first pastor and mentor told me early on that if you feel led by God to do something but you're not sure, try not doing it and see what happens. It's time for me to get out of the boat and give from what I've been given. With the unending support of my wife, Lisa, and my three adult children, I hope to strengthen others hearts and minds in their Christian lives.
