Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul had a deep concern for the Christians in the churches, which he planted. This is something that is very obvious in the second letter to the church in Corinth and the letter to the Galatian churches. Pauls integrity was being attacked by intruders in Corinth, and he needed to defend himself in order that Christians there would not be destabilized in their faith. One of the things that stands out very clearly is Pauls pastoral heart and care for these Corinthian believers. The letter to the churches in Galatia was also written, following the unsettling effects of intruders into the churches. Wrong doctrine was being taught, and the Christians were in danger of being completely led away from the fundamental message of the gospel that salvation is by grace through faith. As we look back from our position in the twenty-first century, we can be thankful for Pauls uncompromising approach to the gospel.
Download or read book 2 Corinthians and Galatians written by Gareth L. Reese and published by Scripture Exposition Books LLC. This book was released on 2019-09 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This phrase-by-phrase commentary and exposition of the New Testament books of 2 Corinthians and Galatians is in use as a college textbook, yet is suitable for lay church members. 2 Corinthians and Galatians were written by Paul during the same time period of his life, to two different churches wrestling with similar, thorny issues. The threat to New Testament Christianity posed by the Judaizers is rightly framed by information learned from 2 Corinthians and Galatians. Time and again in 2 Corinthians, Paul emphasizes his apostolic message and apostolic authority, and insists that the new covenant gospel message which reflects the truths Jesus taught during His earthly ministry is what is now to be preached. The new covenant Scriptures are to be treated as our rule of faith and practice. In Galatians, Paul examines what is involved in the faith that God looks for as He would justify men who have sinned. Is it faith alone (i.e., knowledge, assent, and trust), or is it a faith that includes obedience to what God has said? In his words to Peter - "a man is not justified by works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 2:16) - Paul persuasively proves that the faith that saves is habitually doing what God says, not walking by man-made religious rules. The Judaizers who championed rules like the Pharisees taught were distorting the gospel message as preached by Jesus' apostles (Galatians 1:7). This commentary is conservative evangelical Christian in outlook, yet skillfully examines the Scriptures from multiple theological viewpoints. Introductory Studies cover authorship and attestation, place and date of writing, original target audience to whom the letters were addressed, and the original purpose for writing. Two extended Special Studies address issues crucial to our understanding of how God deals with people He would save: Readers are introduced to the Dead Sea Scroll referred to as 4QMMT and the subject "works of the Law." The study demonstrates how 4QMMT helps us rightly understand Paul's contrast of faith v. works of the Law. Justification by Faith is given extended treatment, and key theological questions are addressed. Biblically, what is "justification" and what is "faith"? Is sola fides (faith alone) the condition upon which God justifies sinful men? How and how often is justification applied to men by God? And how has our understanding of the New Testament been impacted by the New Perspective on Paul that has dominated theological discussions for the past 30+ years? Since this commentary presumes the God-inspired nature of all Biblical writing, the author seeks to harmonize the teachings of 2 Corinthians and Galatians with other relevant Scriptures, and also helpfully examines the original language in which the epistles were written. An annotated bibliography of other commentaries on 2 Corinthians and Galatians encourages readers to extend their own studies. This commentary continues the author's series on the books of the New Testament, and is written from the unique standpoint of the Restoration Movement, a position which allows him to approach Scripture with no special theological doctrine or dogma to defend and explicate. This approach provides an unhindered freedom to listen to what the Holy Spirit would tell us within the pages of sacred Scripture. By deliberately employing the time-honored grammatico-historical method of intepretation, the Word of God is allowed to impress upon our minds the intent the Divine Author had in mind. The author is Professor Emeritus at Central Christian College of the Bible (Moberly, MO).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Ancient Christian Texts volume, translated and edited by Gerald L. Bray, is the first of two that will offer a first English translation of the anonymous fourth-century commentary on the thirteen letters of Paul. Widely viewed as one of the finest pre-Reformation commentaries on the Pauline Epistles, this commentary, until the time of Erasmus, was attributed to Ambrose. The name Ambrosiaster ("Star of Ambrose") seems to have been given to the anonymous author of the work by its Benedictine editors (1686- 1690).

Download or read book Meaning and Truth in Second Corinthians written by Frances M. Young and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new and refreshing approach to 2 Corinthians shows how exegesis of the New Testament writing can issue in theology that is relevant to today. Beginning with an account of the essential thrust of the text, the authors argue for the unity of the letter, setting it against both its Jewish and Hellenistic backgrounds, and examining questions of meaning and reference in the interpretation of particular passages. They then consider how the text can be illuminated by the modern study of hermeneutics, as well as by new sociological approaches. The whole study reaches its climax with an assessment of Paul's authority then and now, and the importance of what he says about God. To conclude, the authors provide their own vivid and compelling translation of Paul's words, inviting a complete rereading of the letter in the light of all that has gone before.

Download or read book Gospel in Paul written by L. Ann Jervis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1994-10-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Festschrift in honour of Richard N. Longenecker (author of Paul, Apostle of Liberty, The Christology of Early Jewish Christianity, The Ministry and Message of Paul, Biblical Exegesis in the Apostolic Period, 'The Acts of the Apostles' in The Expositor's Bible Commentary, New Testament Social Ethics for Today, and Galatians, Word Biblical Commentary) is centered on the theme of 'gospel' in Paul. Notable Pauline scholars discuss 'gospel' from five different perspectives: the historical, the theological, the hermeneutical, the rhetorical and the epistolary; each author discusses one of these five perspectives within one part of Paul's correspondence: (1) Gospel in Romans (2) Gospel in Galatians and (3) Gospel in the Corinthian letters. The volume promotes discussion both on methods of reading Paul's letters and on important historical, theological and hermenutical issues.
