Freedom and obligation : a study of the Epistle to the Galatians / [print] C.K. Barrett. - first American edition. - Philadelphia : Westminster Press, (c)1985. - viii, 120 pages ; 23 cm.
Contains the 5 Sanderson Lectures, delivered in the Theological Hall of the Uniting Church of Australia, Melbourne, in Mar. and Apr. 1983 and the Henton Davies Lecture, given at Regents Park College, Oxford, Feb. 1983.
Author provides an analysis of issues that concerned the early church and that continue to vex contemporary Christians. He argues that Galatians stands at the heart of the New Testament. Historically, this is because Paul's conflicts with Judaism, and with Jewish Christianity, ensured the freedom of the gospel to generate a potentially universal church. Theologically, the same conflicts provided a channel for the life and teaching of Jesus to flow through the ages --
