Galatians and 1 & 2 Thessalonians: A Bible Commentary for Every Day (The People's Bible Commentary) - Softcover

Written with Paul's characteristic energy and passion, the letters to the churches in Galatia and Thessalonica addressed different and specific problems arising in the new congregations of believers. While the Galatians wrestled with the relationship between Jewish law and Christian teaching, the Thessalonians were confused about the imminence (or otherwise) of Christ's return. In answering these issues, Paul teaches how Christians should seek to live: celebrating their freedom while mindful of the call to holiness. The People's Bible Commentary (PBC) is designed for all those who want to study the scriptures in a way that will warm the heart as well as instruct the mind.
