Legalism was a huge issue as the church grew from a Jewish sect into a multiethnic movement, and it continues to plague the church today.

Bruce and Stan show that the apostle Paul's answers to these questions and his presentation of God's grace speak just as forcefully to twenty-first century believers as they did to his original readers.

Concise chapter summaries and penetrating questions make this study perfect for individual study or groups.
