When people ask me what my favorite Epistle is I never hesitate to answer that it is the letter from Paul to the Galatians. It seems an unusual choice to some. In Galatians, Paul often writes in an angry tone, even grabbing the pen from his scribe at one point and writing in enormous letters. He rarely has anything kind to say to the subject of his letter.
What interests me about Galatians is the deep passion with which Paul writes to defend his own integrity as an apostle, his teachings on Christian freedom, his interpretation of the story of Abraham and Sarah, his insistence upon equality of people regardless of background, gender, or economic status, and his description of "The Fruit of the Spirit". I hope you can join me as we study the "wheres, whens, and whats" of Galatians this fall!
