On Galatians and Torah

Galatians upholding Torah by 
Torah Research

Historically, the book of Galatians has been widely misunderstood, due largely to the technical discussions of biblical topics ranging from circumcision, to the Torah, to freedom in Christ. A contextual study of Galatians will help to unravel the letter for both Christians and Jews. Associating Pharisaismwith Moses,thephrase“worksoflaw”(especiallyin Galatians)isquitem is understood inmainstream Christianity—particularly consider ingthe Protest antbe lief that the Law has been some how null if ied by Jesus’ sacrifice. According to such skewedtheology, on one side of the fence is Moses and the Torah—the Pharisees, asrepresent at ives of that “Old Test a mentreligion.” On the other side is Jesus,Paul and grace.n

Galatians and Torah by

Historically, the book of Galatians has been widely misunderstood, due largely to the technical discussions of biblical topics ranging from circumcision, to the Torah, to freedom in Christ. A contextual study of Galatians will help to unravel the letter for both Christians and Jews. To be sure, without a proper background to the book we will forever misread Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles. For this particular study, allow me to start in B’resheet (Genesis) with Avraham and circumcision. If we begin to peel back the mysteries surrounding this simple biblical command we stand a better chance at understanding Rav Sha’ul (Apostle Paul) and his enigmatic instructions.

An Exposition of Galatians

The “New Perspective” by 
Don Garlington

An Exposition of Galatians states that the present commentary seeks to be a kind of halfway house between highly technical and popular treatments of Galatians. Its purpose is to make the exposition as user-friendly as possible with only as many technicalities as necessary to accomplish that end. The emphasis of the work is decidedly theological, with attention focused on the salvation historical argument of Paul’s letter. Its main target audience includes pastors, students, and Pauline scholars.

Justification

Justification and Covenantal Nomianism by 
Dr.NT. Wright

In this Justification a riveting book, N. T. Wright explains that God’s salvation is radically more than this. At the heart of much vigorous debate on this topic is the term the apostle Paul uses in several of his letters to describe what happens to those in Christ?justification. Paul uses this dramatic image from the law court to declare that Christians are acquitted of the cosmic accusations against them. But justification goes beyond this in Paul’s writings to offer a vision of God’s future for the whole world as well as for his people.

Reclaiming Yeshua for Judaism

Yeshua and Judaism by 
James Scott Trimm

Forget everything you have ever heard about “Jesus” . The majority of it is simply false. His name was not Jesus, he was not born on December 25th, he was not the founder of Christianity, he did not wear a toga, have blue eyes, a goatee beard or blond hair. The historical “Jesus of Nazareth” has been hijacked by Gentiles, paganized, helenized and stripped of his Torah Observant Judaism.
