Written 900 years ago by Blessed Theophylact, Archbishop of Ochrid and Bulgaria, these commentaries distill the essence of St. John Chrysostom's preaching-and that of other great fathers of the patristic era-many centuries before his own time. Blessed Theophylact has given us a " Bible study" of ancient and divine origin, untouched by contemporary opinions and discussions. It is in fact, timeless and has proven its value to every generation of Orthodox Christians during the past nine centuries. This is Volume IV in the Series: Blessed Theophylact's Explanation of the New Testament.

Chrysostom Press

<p>This volume contains Blessed Theophylact’s commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians. Although St. Paul wrote this letter to address the particular issue of circumcision that was troubling the young churches of Galatia, its purpose goes much deeper. A central theme of the Epistle is the question of the essence of the Christian life—is it based on correct practices or on faith? St. Paul explains the purpose of the Judaic law, and the necessity of moving beyond its practice to the new, very different life based on faith in Christ. The depth of the Apostle’s care for his ﬂock is evident as he strives to draw them away from the old understanding of sin, into the new knowledge of the glory and love of Christ.</p>
