In this intensive exegesis of the Epistle to the Galatians, renowned German theologian Gerhard Ebeling strives to open 'our eyes to the explosive force that produced this text, a force which, through this text, can explode over and over again. Using rigorous technical tools, Ebeling interprets Galatians in such a way that 'the truth of the Gospel' confronts the general reader as well as the specialist. He clarifies and emphasizes the relevance of this explication to the real-life struggles of contemporary Christians.
Gerhard Ebeling (1912-2001) studied theology under Rudolf Bultmann at Marburg and Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the 'illegal' seminary at Finkenwalde. After pastoring a Confessing Church congregation in Berlin during the war years, he joined the faculty at Tubingen, followed by decades as Professor of Fundamental Theology and Hermeneutics at the University of Zurich.
