 What is really going on Paul's letter to the Galatians?  How can we make sense of the idea that pagan converts were in danger of "returning" to something by adopting Jewish practices such as circumcision? And what light does the answer to that question shed on the relevance of the letter for Christian ministry today?

In this episode Revd Dr Nick Moore, Warden of Cranmer Hall, speaks to Dr Neil Martin, member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion at Oxford University and Associate Pastor at Oxford Presbyterian Church about his book Galatians Rediscovered: Jews, Gentiles, and Justification in the First and the Twenty-First Centuries, which was released in 2022.
