Galatians for the Practical Messianic – paperback
$26.99
In the commentary Galatians for the Practical Messianic, Messianic Apologetics editor J.K. McKee takes a direct look at the issues of Paul’s letter, as he rebuked the Galatians for errors which had crept into their midst. Engaging with contemporary scholarship on Galatians, critical questions regarding common conclusions of Paul’s words are asked. Were Paul and Yeshua truly at odds when it came to the Torah? Were the Jerusalem leaders and Paul at constant odds with one another? How did Paul’s Pharisaical background and views affect the composition of this letter? What were the spiritual dynamics present in Galatia? What did the term “works of law” really mean? These are only a few of the questions considered.
Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians is easily the most difficult to understand Biblical text, for people within today’s broad Messianic community. Galatians has been historically interpreted, by much of Christianity, as delivering Believers a stark choice between God’s Law and God’s grace. Those who choose any obedience to the Law, according to this view of Paul, are unfaithful to the Messiah and the saving power of the gospel. Supposedly, Paul was desperately concerned for anyone who was trying to keep the Torah of Moses. Consequently, Galatians is a frequently-quoted text to today’s Messianic people, many of whom are simply trying to live a life of holiness by obeying God’s commandments, in accordance with the example modeled by Yeshua (Jesus).
Understanding Galatians in its original context, for its original audience, and for the original issues which it addressed—can be a severe challenge. Was the issue which the Galatians faced forced circumcision, followed by salvation―or was the issue ritual proselyte conversion to Judaism, for true inclusion among God’s people? Likewise, who were those errantly influencing the Galatians? Were they authorized members of the assembly, or misguided outsiders with a an agenda?
