Readings On The Epistle To The Galatians

(Chap. 2:1-10.) (Continued from page 240.) It is altogether likely that the perverters of the gospel among the Christians of Galatia, claimed that the gospel which they preached was identical with that preached by those at Jerusalem whom the risen Lord had put in the apostolic office.

Intellectualism

I feel constrained to raise my protest against the increasing trend toward intellectuality as “almost necessary” for usefulness in the ministry of God’s Word as we hear of it even among those who seek to live and serve in Christian simplicity.What is intellectualism?

The Resurrection Of Christ And Of His Saints Identical In Character
