Free to Love
Paul's Defense of Christian Liberty in Galatians
by J. Buckel
Paul’s notion of Christian liberty must be understood within the context of love, God’s love for humanity as manifested in the person of Jesus Christ and the believer’s love for God and neighbor. The apostle informs the Christians under his care that hey have been freed from the enslavement of sin and death so that they might love more fully. By virtue of their union with the risen Lord, Christians are free to love, in the deepest sense of the word, God, others, and themselves. John Buckel is a priest of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and an alumnus of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. He is currently Assistant Professor of New Testament exegesis at St. Meinrad School of Theology. He has lectured extensively on St. Paul throughout the United States.
