Pipa, Joseph A., Jr.
Galatians: God's Proclamation of Liberty - Focus on the Bible Series (Pipa)
- The glorious doctrine of justification by faith
- The key themes of Paul's theology expounded
- An important letter with practical lessons for the church of every age
The glorious doctrine of justification by faith far exceeds even the great charters of freedom and liberty which we have seen throughout history. This doctrine is expounded by the apostle Paul whose letter this is and in it we see the key themes of his theology expounded. Joseph Pipa, an able Biblical expositor committed to the inerrancy of Scripture, brings this important letter with practical lessons for the church of every age alive for us.

Endorsements
"Here is a clear, succinct, and powerful exposition of a key Pauline letter. Pipa writes pastorally, an apt reflection of Paul's own desire to inform and edify. He writes learnedly, aware of challenges to Paul's gospel from Federal Vision and New Perspective quarters."
Robert W. Yarbrough ~ Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri
"Martin Luther once called the Epistle to the Galatians "my Katie von Bora" - this letter was as dear to the Reformer as his own wife. In Galatians, Joseph Pipa has given the church a clear, stirring, and accessible exposition of this beloved letter."
Guy Waters ~ Associate Professor of New Testament , Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi
