I just read a very stimulating article by J. Louis Martyn entitled The Apocalyptic Gospel in Galatians. This article is dated a bit, but what it brings to our understanding of “What is the Gospel?” is groundbreaking. As we await the coming of Christ this advent season, I encourage you to take the time to read through this brilliant article. It just might change your life.
