Christ Crucified: A Theology of Galatians
By Thomas R. Schreiner, Edited by Thomas R. Schreiner, Brian S. Rosner
Join New Testament Scholar Thomas Schreiner as He Explores the Meaning and Purpose of Galatians
In a time marked by confusion and change, the pathway to salvation for the Galatians seemed unclear. While the false teachers contended for circumcision and obedience to the law as necessary for justification before God, Paul presented the truth of the gospel and redrew the lines of salvation around the cross of Jesus Christ.
In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, scholar Thomas R. Schreiner addresses the conflict between Paul and his opponents in Galatia, examines the gospel itself, and shows what it looks like to live out the truth of the gospel in the new era. After examining the dominant biblical-theological themes of Galatians, readers will be reminded of the gift of grace Christ offers through his death on the cross—the only possible path to salvation and true unity among believers.

- Part of the New Testament Theology Series: Other volumes include Ministry in the New Realm; To Walk and to Please God; and more

Endorsements
“Tom Schreiner is a treasure of the contemporary church. He has written commentaries and other scholarly material that have rightly earned accolades. And this current volume rises to the very top. How I wish I had this book when I preached through Galatians over a decade ago. It fills a significant need: a book that gives you the overall theology of Galatians. Every preacher has experienced the moment when you end a sermon series on a book of the Bible only to realize that you are now in a much better place to start all over again! Typically, a commentary introduction might attempt to address the overall theology of a particular book, but we need far more. Christ Crucified provides just that.”
Derek W. H. Thomas, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries
“When Christ ascended to the Father’s right hand, he gave gifts to the church, including teachers and pastors. We can be thankful that Tom Schreiner is among those gifts to the church. He ably and accessibly teaches readers about the key themes of Paul’s epistle to the Galatians. Christ Crucified is a valuable resource for anyone who wants a deeper knowledge of the gospel of Christ.”
J. V. Fesko, Harriet Barbour Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson
“Christ Crucified provides a clear, thorough, and knowledgeable introduction to the theology of Galatians. In it, Tom Schreiner leads the reader through every major theological theme in the letter, interacting irenically and thoughtfully with other interpreters and coming to reasonable, pastorally helpful conclusions. This is just the kind of concise, reliable introduction to the letter that students, pastors, and teachers will find helpful in their studies and in preparing to preach and teach this theologically powerful biblical text.”
