This book is a literary and historical exegesis of Paul's apostolic paradigm in 1 Corinthians 9. The author argues that chapter 9 is part and parcel of Paul's unified arguments of 1 Corinthians 8-10, which are written to mediate in a dispute over food offered to idols. The questions of how the dispute emerged, how Paul arranges his arguments in the three chapters, and what role 1 Corinthians 9 has in the overall discourse are addressed carefully in the book. Moreover, the question of why Paul and his coworkers did not receive financial support from his audience, which was contrary to the practice of the other missionaries and the normal workforce of the time, and of why he uses such a practice as an example to be imitated by those insisting on their right to eat food offered to idols, are dealt with judiciously. Based on his exegesis of 1 Corinthians 9, the author furthermore attempts to see the relevance of 1 Corinthians 9 for dispute resolution today, taking the conflict within his own church as an example.

Paul's Letter to the Galatians is one of the fiercest and most polemical writings in the Bible. That is what makes it, for the author of this study, such an exciting document to deal with. It emerges from the early days of a vigorous new movement (Christianity), when basic principles were first being formulated, and when the whole character of the movement was at stake. In the pages of Galatians we witness fundamental features of Christian theology taking shape before our eyes, where the living heart of Paul's gospel is encountered. For James D. G. Dunn there is an elemental quality about the letter, to which those tired of compromising half-truths are drawn when they feel the impulse to return to first principles. This book, which benefits from this perspective on Paul, explains more clearly than hitherto both the issues which confronted Paul and the powerful theological arguments he brought to bear in response, and casts light on a document still capable of shaping lives and theology today.

For millenniums, people have heard from pulpits and their preachers what the Messiah and his apostles supposedly said. But have we been told the truth by well-meaning communicators of the Holy Scriptures or has the Word been woefully misinterpreted by all but a few people? How did epistles that Paul wrote, become known as books? Paul wrote letters. In them he quoted Scripture. The only Scriptures available in Paul's (and Messiah's) day were the books of Moses, the writings and the prophets (Tanakh). There was no such thing as a New Testament! Yet people reject the "Old Testament" Scriptures while building their beliefs upon what Paul supposedly wrote; without a clear understanding of what Messiah and his apostles lived, preached and communicated. Thus ignorance of the true gospel has turned it from one of belief, repentance and obedience into a message of "grace" that requires little more than a "belief" in an unknown Messiah and rejection of the Almighty's laws -- laws which apply for all time! Unlike ever before, today it is finally possible to reap the fruits of Searching The Scriptures* using the proper tools to glean not only what is the faith once delivered to the saints, but also to understand what all believers today must do as well as believe. Explore the evidence in this first of a 4-volume commentary. The true gospel of the kingdom is not only one of belief, but of right action and of obedience. The good news is that religious doctrines and manmade traditions have absolutely nothing to do with salvation. Understanding Paul's epistles to the Galatians is the first step toward right understanding of this narrow path that believers are called to walk. The next step is yours to take.
