Galatians: Paul’s Messianic Manifesto for the Community of Jews & Gentiles is an ONGROUND ONLY Term 4 Session 2 (8:30–9:45pm) course held at the Messianic Studies Institute (4950 Morse Road, Columbus, Ohio 43230) starting 04/08/2019.
Course Description:
In this course, we make every effort to unpack Paul's "Messianic Manifesto" Galatians as a 1st century "Halakhic Letter" (a letter addressing patterns of walking or living) to a community struggling with self-identity in the midst of conflicting cultural expectations. Along the way, we will discover meanings and concepts that are applicable to our daily lives as we try to navigate our own cultural conflicts.
