Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Galatians

"Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Galatians" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a reimagining of a crucial biblical letter in the early 1900s, which wrestles with the core tenets of Christian belief. It centers on the Apostle Paul's urgent message to the churches of Galatia, where he confronts their slide away from the Christian way of life. Paul vigorously defends the idea that faith in Jesus, not strict rule-following, unlocks salvation. Sharing his personal journey and correcting misleading ideas, Paul highlights that all who believe are one, no matter where they come from. The book draws a clear line between the real freedom found in following Christ and the limiting nature of adhering to laws, asserting that faith, not deeds, makes someone a true follower and inheritor of the Christian promise. Paul's voice is a powerful mix of warning and support, making a clear explanation on early debates about Christian thinking and the meaning of religion.
