An excellent article from John Caldwell’s blog, based on Galatians 1:
Does it matter what Gospel we accept?
One Commentary on Galatians has referred to the New Testament as a “bad-tempered book.” This is especially true of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Martin Luther’s commentary on Galatians has been referred to by one minister as ‘A Gospel for a wounded conscience’. How do we reconcile these two perspectives? Both are true: Galatians is both polemical and pastoral. In other words the aim of Galatians is to:
- Defend the true gospel
- Contend against false gospels
- Strengthen the church through the proclamation of the true gospel
This exposition of Galatians chapter one will explore three main areas:
- The Crisis
- The Consequence
- The Cure

The Narrowing Path 
Hi, thanks for the re-post.
Just minor point of information, I dropped the title “View from the Pew ” a while back, after messing about with several blog titles, I gave up and just stuck my name at the top of the blog.
Thanks again

Oh, of course! I still get email updates from you with the old name (my Gmail must like it). I will change it now. 🙂

Posts amended. I did love ‘View from the Pew’ but it will no doubt confuse people if I call it that. Thanks for the heads up. I do actually read your blog so I have seen the name change. But it’s a bit like new haircuts…it takes me a while to notice sometimes. 🙂

Well that worked out well…I thought your blog was included in my links. When I went to change the link title I realised it wasn’t. Now it is!

John, that’s wonderful news about you settling into a ministry position within a parish!
Also, I was wondering when your “gospel-centred youth ministry” book will be available? Is it available to read in any other format? I would love to read it!! 🙂
As for the TNP site, it is a reflection of my own two year journey since God granted me true repentance and a new life in Christ! I figured since I’d found all this great stuff from other Christians, I should probably share it around.

Regarding Gospel Centred YW/M it is being reviewed by a publisher at the moment. It’s been reviewed by a few, however it is a hard sell for publishers, as it caters for a very narrow market. Once I hear back, if they say no, I’ll need to look at giving it to an editor for a final polish and make it available as an independently published book… will update progress via the blog.
Thanks for the interest . . .
