Paul Opposes Peter

After the Apostle Paul introduces his defense of the gospel in his letter to the Galatians, he recounts his interaction with the Apostle Peter in Antioch. Peter jeopardized the truth of the gospel by refusing to eat with gentile converts, and Paul opposed Peter for this to his face. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas expounds on the importance of Paul’s confrontation with Peter.
