The Apostle’s Defense

In the introduction of his letter to the Galatians, the Apostle Paul offered a definition of the gospel along with a warning about the destructive nature of false gospels. Because certain false teachers were attacking the legitimacy of Paul’s ministry in an attempt to undermine the gospel, Paul needed to defend his own ministry and Apostleship. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas focuses our attention on the significance of Paul’s teaching about his past, his conversion, and the origin of his gospel.
