The Truth of the Gospel

by Gerhard Ebeling

In this intensive exegesis of the Epistle to the Galatians, renowned German theologian Gerhard Ebeling strives to open our eyes to the explosive force that produced this text, a force which, through this text, can explode over and over again. Using rigorous technical tools, Ebeling interprets Galatians in such a way that the truth of the Gospel confronts the general reader as well as the specialist. He clarifies and emphasizes the relevance of this explication to the real-life struggles of contemporary Christians.
