Publisher's Synopsis
This is an eight-week Precept Bible Study written specifically for Home Groups on the Apostle Paul's letter to the churches in Galatia. The book is designed to challenge your home group with in-depth, thought-provoking commentaries and real-world application questions.
Galatians is one of the oldest letters in the New Testament and was written to encourage the believers and address a problem with some false teachers called Judaizers. The problem was the Judaizers were telling the Gentiles they must obey the Jewish laws and traditions in order to be saved. In other words, the Judaizers were putting pressure on the Gentiles to become Jews before they could become Christians. Another problem was these false teachers were questioning the Apostle Paul's authority by saying he was not a real apostle.
In today's world, Christians are being tempted daily to compromise their faith through peer pressure from friends, family, and co-workers, and are tempted by movies, television, commercials, and social media. The pressure to compromise and be more like the world has intensified by the current cancel culture which is pushing an anti-Christian message. The Galatian believers were up against similar pressures. What can we learn from Paul's letter to the early churches in Galatia, and what does it mean for Christians to be in the world but not of the world? Buckle up and get ready to go on a journey with Paul as we take an in-depth look at the problems facing the early church and compare them to the issues facing Christians today.
