Galatians Leader Guide

What's special about Galatians?

The Apostle Paul writes to the churches in Galatia out of deep concern that they are forsaking the gospel and listening instead to those who argue that Gentiles must be circumcised according to Jewish law before they can follow Christ. Paul insists that people are justified by faith in Christ rather than by keeping the requirements of Torah.

When you download this Bible study leader guide from Enter the Bible, you'll receive insights on key passages as well as discussion questions to lead a four-week study.

This leader guide is informed by the scholarship of Dr. James Boyce, Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Greek at Luther Seminary, and Dr. Kristofer Phan Coffman, Assistant Professor of New Testament at Luther Seminary.

What’s Inside

Consider opening and closing each study session with prayer. It's a chance to give thanks for those present, to lift up particular prayer requests, to grow deeper in faith and community, and to seek God's help in understanding and living out the message found in God's Word.
