At every point it challenges our present-day shallow, easy acceptances and provokes our opposition . . . Galatians is a statement of Paul's Gospel, which is also of theChurch universal . . .

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book of Kings is a unique source for understanding the history of Israel from the last days of the united kingdom under David to the eventual fall of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
