Who is the central character of Galatians and what was revealed to him?
The central character of Galatians is the apostle Paul, whose apostleship is recounted in the book. To Paul were revealed the doctrines of Grace, not Law—truths not confined to the nation of Israel but extending primarily to the Gentiles while also including the Jew.
Les explains that in Galatians and Paul’s account of his apostleship, Paul is the central character. To that man were revealed the doctrines, not of Law but of Grace. Grace is not confined to the nation of Israel, but is primarily to the Gentiles, while also including the Jew. This contrasts with the Law, which was given to Moses and to Israel, not the rest of the world.
