The ascetic views of the new Christian group closely mirror the Greco-Roman teachings of philosophers like Epictetus and literature like 4 Maccabees. The teachings of Christ instruct their followers to love thy neighbor and to live a life of peace while devoting one's soul to Christ. The ancient values of men, a noble death, courage, piety, and moderation can be seen throughout the Christian scriptures. Before the rise of Christianity, these values were treasured among men and were seen as defining qualities. Jesus sharing these values played a massive role in the rise of Christianity. Paul's Letter had won the Galatians to Christ.
As you study Galatians, you'll begin to grasp the core of the gospel that helped Martin Luther to the conviction that we are saved by faith alone. This volume explores Galatians in 9 lessons. Thought-provoking discussion questions make it a useful tool for personal enrichment, small groups, and classes. Extensive footnotes assist teachers and preachers with background research for sermon preparation.The ascetic views of the new Christian group closely mirror the Greco-Roman teachings of philosophers like Epictetus and literature like 4 Maccabees.
