Why Is Paul So Mad in Galatians?

Rev. Dr. Sarah Hinlicky Wilson joins Dr. Kathryn Schifferdecker and Rev. Katie Langston to unpack Paul's fiery letter to the Galatians and why so much is at stake.

Galatians is not the first smackdown between Judaism and Christianity. It's a detonation of every human effort to get right with God. Sarah walks through the big tensions in Galatians: flesh and spirit, freedom and slavery, faith and works of the law, "I" and Christ, and circumcision and uncircumcision. Along the way, she explains what Paul really means by justification, why Martin Luther loved Galatians like his own wife, and what the "marks of Jesus" on Paul's body might be.

Whether you're new to the Bible or an old hand, this Galatians Bible study will leave you feeling gloriously undone.

Rev. Dr. Sarah Hinlicky Wilson is pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in York, Pennsylvania, and host of the Queen of the Sciences podcast. Her recent books include Seven Ways of Looking at the Transfiguration and Forty Facets of the Ascension.
