Christ Crucified - A Theology of...

Thomas R. Schreiner

Join New Testament Scholar Thomas Schreiner as He Explores the Meaning and Purpose of Galatians
In a time marked by confusion and change, the pathway to salvation for the Galatians seemed unclear. While the false teachers contended for circumcision and obedience to the law as necessary for justification before God, Paul presented the truth of the gospel and redrew the lines of salvation around the cross of Jesus Christ. 
In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, scholar Thomas R. Schreiner addresses the conflict between Paul and his opponents in Galatia, examines the gospel itself, and shows what it looks like to live out the truth of the gospel in the new era. After examining the dominant biblical-theological themes of Galatians, readers will be reminded of the gift of grace Christ offers through his death on the cross—the only possible path to salvation and true unity among believers. 

- For Those Interested in Biblical Theology: Ideal for college and seminary students, pastors, and professors 
- Helpful Bible Study Resource: A great companion to commentaries on Galatians 
- Part of the New Testament Theology Series: Other volumes include Ministry in the New Realm; To Walk and to Please God; and more
