Rereading Galatians from the Perspective of Paul’s Gospel

“Yung Suk Kim reads Galatians as a reaffirmation of Paul's good news: that God has acted in Jesus to open a path of life and freedom for all who believe. Rather than treating faith as a set of beliefs, Kim brings out how Paul's gospel draws readers to emulate Jesus' faithfulness and to participate in his risen life.”


—Greg Carey, Lancaster Theological Seminary





“Yung Suk Kim takes his readers to an exciting journey through Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Placing the divine good news for humanity at the center of the message in Galatians, Kim offers a truly innovative way of unlocking the richness of Pauline theology in this letter. Thanks to his clarity and thoroughness of presentation, readers will find this book accessible and insightful.”


—Ekaputra Tupamahu, Portland Seminary at George Fox University





“Yung Suk Kim, a prolific New Testament scholar, interprets Galatians as a mature theological letter, just like Romans. What lies at the center of Paul’s theology in Galatians is not ‘justification by faith’ in forensic terms, but the ‘gospel’ based in God’s faithfulness and also in the faithfulness of Christ represented in his sacrifice for God's righteousness and as a way of loving people. Through his careful exegetical studies and accessible language, Kim invites the reader into the richness and clarity of meaning of the gospel today.”
