In every way that Paul is the apostle of the Christ crucified, he is in equal measure the apostle of the Holy Spirit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul's letter is about the way in which we are to understand the terms of the identity that comes to us in the Christ who has been \"clearly portrayed as crucified.\" There is no longer any identity\u003cem\u003e per se \u003c\/em\u003ebecause in the wake of the Pauline gospel all of the traditional elements of identity have been transformed by God, so that by means of the gospel \u003cem\u003ethrough identity we will have died to identity\u003c\/em\u003e. It is thus only when we hear the Galatian letter \"with faith\" and respond to it in obedience, that is, when we hear it precisely \u003cem\u003eas scripture\u003c\/em\u003e, that it provides what is our only valid identity in God's eyes: a gospel-based membership in his family that will be the believer's eschatological way forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 362\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 22, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752180678944,"sku":"9781601910424","price":31.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/efbb1d8c9bbaf5e0c1e8dd47e60c36f1.webp?v=1779989440","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/to-the-galatians-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
