The Letter of Galatians: The Greatest Hits of Paul

Are We Truly Free in Christ?

In this expert guided class by an Adventist theology professor, students will explore Paul's fiery letter. Galatians is a short book with some fascinating content. But reading through it could raise some questions in your mind.

Did Paul have the right to lose his temper at Peter? More importantly: what exactly did he actually lose his temper about?
