Explore the complexities of faith in Paul's letter to the Galatians.

This newest addition to the popular Trinity New Testament in Context series focuses on the politics of division in Paul's letter to the Galatians.

As Pheme Perkins demonstrates, the matter was not so simple. She uses recent evidence to show that the communal boundaries of Judaism were more porous than has been assumed.
