‘Being Transformed by the Renewing of the Mind’– That is the goal of this course and one of the Apostle Paul’s own goals for his readers.
Paul and His Letter to the Galatians is intended to take you into an in-depth understanding of one of the New Testament’s most foundational writings. We will go section by section with lectures by Prof. N.T. Wright and a Q&A session with Prof. Wright and Prof. Seemuth. We will have reading assignments in the textbook: ‘Paul for Everyone: Galatians and Thessalonians’ by N.T. Wright (ISBN: 0664227856). We will also gather in guided discussions with other students so we can learn together through reflection and interaction about application of the material to life. You also will have opportunity to interact with Prof. Wright and Prof. Seemuth through the Discussion Forums. Quizzes have been developed to help test comprehension of both reading material and the video lectures.
The course is intended to take time. We hope that it is worth spending many weeks to embrace Paul’s message in his letter to the Galatians. There is no set time limit to the course, so it really is at your own pace. But we hope ‘slower’ rather than ‘faster’ will lead to greater comprehension and the transformation the apostle himself would have hoped for.
Who this course is for:
- This course is for every person who has an interest in studying one of the most important New Testament documents.
- This course is great for beginning students of the Bible as well as for those who know the Bible well.

N. T. Wright is brilliant in making clear what not so clear about Paul. I love that I had these lectures to refer back to again and again. The ability to follow conversations repeatedly helped me pick up on nuance that I had missed the first or second time, and nuance is so important with Paul.
David Seemuth and his staff have done an excellent work in putting this series in Galatians together. I do like the Q & A too.
Karen Watermeyer –
I learnt so much from this course. What a privilege to be able to proceed at my own pace, from the comfort of my own home, and yet be in the company of an outstanding teacher every step of the way.
Dr John Ramsden –
I am so thankful. that this course is permanently available on line for it means that I shall be able to return to it to feed further from the rich scholarship offered by Prof. Wright. I find myself frequently wishing that I had been privileged to be a full-time student of Prof Wright and been in almost daily contact with his inspiring and infectious teaching. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Dick Nicolai –
Persecution for the church exist today as at the time Paul wrote Galatians. Since Paul did not back down but faced the challenges, so also we too should face challenges, knowing God is in control.
H. M. Motsinger –
Yes, It is a good match. Dr. Wright is a humble man.
Donald Ryan –
The historical aspect is invaluable. The unshakable belief in the physical resurrection indispensable. The enthusiasm for and delight in the material infectious.
Marcie Caughey –
I can come and go as needed, listen for a second or even third time. The learning just keeps on going.
Erik Ulvog –
This course is very thoughtful. It is very challenging. And brings clarity to a very difficult letter. Finally, it helps you become closer to the Lord.
Richard Lindeman –
As a lifelong Lutheran Christian, I have found this course on Galatians to provide new and necessary focus for understanding this key epistle.
Steve Humble –
My only “complaint” about these courses is that in the quizzes there seem to be “trick questions” that seem to be about trivial wording rather than important content.
James Thomas –
Great course. Easy to understand but also deep in exegesis. Thank you.
John Kincaid –
