Description:
In this intriguing podcast episode, Dr. James Tour takes us on a journey through the captivating background of the Book of Galatians. Join Dr. Tour as he expertly unravels the historical context and sheds light on the challenges faced by the early Christian churches in the northeast region of the Mediterranean, known as Galatia. These churches, including Antioch, Placidia, Iconium, Lystra, and Derby, were founded by none other than the renowned Apostle Paul himself.

Dr. James Tour discusses how Paul’s letter to the Galatians was intended as an encyclical, reaching out to all the churches in the region. With fervor and conviction, Paul passionately defends the true Gospel against the infiltration of false teachings.

As we explore this pivotal letter, guided by Dr. Tour’s expertise, we witness Paul’s unwavering stand on salvation by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. Paul firmly rejects any notion of justification by human works and instead emphasizes the significance of faith in Christ’s redemptive sacrifice.
