Both James and Paul’s letter to the Galatians speak words of life to believers in the first century and in the twenty-first century. James calls us to wisdom and Galatians compels us to a liberated life in the Spirit.
James offers us practical wisdom that is exceptionally relevant to Bible readers today about the speech we use, the trials we face, and the dangers of wealth. Galatians reminds us of the total sufficiency of Jesus in securing our salvation, and of the leadership of the Holy Spirit for living out our faith. Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Scot McKnight shares perspectives that reveal the enduring relevance of these two letters for our lives today.
Ideal for personal reflection or group study, James and Galatians will help you see God in the biblical context so you can hear from God in your context.
