Paul's Letter to the Galatians has played a major role in the history of theology, especially in the Church's teaching on grace, faith, and justification. This commentary argues that Paul's doctrine of justification by faith is essentially social in nature and has important ecumenical implications for the Church today. In its original setting, Galatians established a foundation for the unity of Jewish and Gentile Christians: all are justified by the faith of Jesus Christ. In addition to illuminating the historical situation that led Paul to write his Letter to the Galatians, this commentary pays careful attention to the rhetorical structure of this letter and its theological message. The author provides a fresh translation of Galatians, critical notes on each verse of the text, and a careful commentary of the letter in light of Paul's theology. Theories abound on the question of Galatians, why it was written, what it says, and what the implications of that message are. Yet few scholars have devoted themselves at length to this letter. What sets this work apart is its extent and detail, and its academic rather than popular intent.

The Errors of Atheism is a response to the glaring gap that exists in analytical philosophy on the concept of God. While there is the large body of work that either defends or challenges orthodox Christian theistic arguments, there is a lack of analytical philosophical work articulating agnosticism as a critique of both theism and atheism. J. Angelo Corlett shows that the conceptual depths of theism must be explored beyond orthodoxy in order to re-open the debate on the problem of God. His book is an agnostic's statement on the current state of the debate about God's existence and where the discussion must go to make genuine philosophical progress instead of remaining in a dialectical stalemate.

Identity is an issue for both Christian and non-Christians alike, in that they look virtually the same. Our societies imply that if you have or possess a certain item, so you are able to do what you need to do, all so you can possibly be who you are. This is not the biblical example of Jesus and God's original intention. Part of the issue is that some churches, evangelists, and Bible teachers are singularly focused upon the broken image of Adam and Eve. They rush to the story of the fall of humanity to prove the point that we are fatally broken, flawed, and are in need of a savior. There we stay presented with a corrupted, broken, and distorted image of what humanity is. Without knowing who we were supposed to be, we will have no idea of what we are aiming for. How then can we carry out the commands of Jesus (Matthew 10:7""8; 28:19""20, Luke 16:15), or the proclamations of Luke 4:18""19 or Isaiah 61:1""2, without knowing who we are? The purpose of this book is to help you begin to see what it was and who it is that you are created to be.
