Paul for Everyone: Galatians and Thessalonians

By Tom Wright

Tom Wright's eye-opening comments on these letters are combined, passage by passage, with his new translation of the Bible text.

Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Wright captures the tension and excitement of the time as the letters seek to assert Paul's authority and his teaching against other influences. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion, with background information, useful interpretation and explanation, and thoughts as to how it can be relevant to our lives today.

No knowledge of technical jargon is required. The series is suitable for personal or group use. The format makes it appropriate also for daily study.
