Summary
Parallels between Galatians and Romans offer enlightening surprises. Focal passages on the Law’s inability to provide righteousness without "trust of Christ" (Gal 2.15-21; Rom 3.19-31) are followed by extended arguments about Abraham and the identity of the people of God, then by explanations of the communal life of love that fulfils the Law.
