The letters to the Philippian and Galatian congregations illustrate well the passion and intensity of Paul’s writing. Philippians is perhaps Paul’s warmest letter, affirming his close relationship with them, using the language of partnership, joy, and humility. Galatians, though, reveals frustration and anger and lacks the expression of thanksgiving typically found near the beginning of Paul’s letters. Together these letters provide a compelling portrait of a complex original thinker who probably was the most significant missionary of his day, a theologian and social critic of rare power and insight whose legacy continues today to spark heated debate. Yet if we can catch even a little of Paul’s vision, we are likely to be transformed. We may find ourselves called, like Paul himself, to a fresh vision of what God is doing in the world and to participation in the crucified body of Christ.
