Galatians. Not the longest of Paul’s epistles, but in some ways the most forceful. Not always the most beloved of NT writings, but in many ways the most lovely. This epistle that resounds the aria of grace with such brevity has now been engaged in a nearly 1,000-page commentary by the legendarily prolific Craig Keener.1

Hey everybody, here is the second instalment of our coverage of the 2019 Tyndale House Conference. Yesterday I posted some commentary and a photo essay on Day 1 (well, actually it was Day 3 since the conference began on Monday, but NT and Biblical Theology took up the second half of the week). We hope these enable you to virtually travel to Cambridge and taste the experience of being here. Stay tuned for the final day of the conference, to be posted tomorrow!

I’m here in Cambridge right now for the second half of the annual Tyndale House Study Groups. This is my first time attending the conference, although members of the Logos team have been here in past years to present papers and enjoy catching up with friends, old and new. For those of you who could not attend this year, theLAB is pleased to present a visual essay from the event with commentary.
