Misunderstanding Galatians (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781666713398)

This commentary on Galatians seeks to provide an originalist understanding of the epistle by viewing Paul as a Torah-observant apostle of the Messiah who was arguing against compulsory proselyte conversion into Pharisaic Judaism and not the Old Testament law of God in general. As such, this commentary pays closer attention to the perpetuity of the Old Testament law of God, Paul's nuanced use of ""law"" (nomos), Jewish oral tradition, and the historical context of gentile proselyte conversion in Paul's time. The goal of this commentary is to combine the strengths of evangelical hermeneutics and recent advances in Pauline studies to arrive at a more accurate understanding of the original author's intended meaning within his own historical context.
