Alright folks – I got an extra copy of Peter Oakes’ brand new Galatians commentary (Baker, 2015) and I am giving it away for free.
But wait a second, this is a contest. Here are the rules:
#1: What would Paul Tweet? Make your own summary “tweet” of Galatians and Tweet it. Accurate summaries are decent. Clever summaries of Galatians are better! (No cheating by linking Twitter to a blog, website, etc. to buy more characters!)
#2: Use these two hashtags in your tweet – #Galatians #WWPT (as in, “What Would Paul Tweet”)
#3: Copy your tweet into a comment on this post, along with the US state you live in. While everyone is welcome to tweet (please do!), I can only give the book away to someone in the contiguous US.
#4: Deadline is April 24 by 11:59PM PST
Have you heard the one about a Jew from the circumcision party, a Gentile Xian, and Peter walking into a fellowship meal? #Galatians #WWPT
I’m in VA.
Ah, Dr Gupta, yer killin’ me! What about those of us who’ve still been able to avoid tweeting?
Ha, Craig! You rebel. Sorry, no luck.
I neither tweet nor live in the US, contiguous or otherwise. I’m going to cry.
Sorry, Terry. Rules are rules.
Reblogged this on Talmidimblogging.
Paul’s tweet:
Congregants should leave their cell phones in their car and dress respectively. Beachwear is inappropriate as is leaving the service early to drop by the liquor store and be home for the 1 PM football game.
ooops – that should be respectfully I think. I have a Bible genre cartoon about Paul. How can I send it to you to see if you may use?
If you think circumcision is what puts your faith on top, then I pray that the knife goes ahead and drops! Peace!

Ὦ ἀνόητοι Γαλάται τίς ὑμᾶς ἐβάσκανεν…ὁ σπείρων εἰς τὴν σάρκα, θερίσει φθοράν, ὁ δὲ σπείρων εἰς τὸ πνεῦμα…ζωὴν αἰώνιον #Galatians #WWPT
For the purposes of this contest, I’m in MA (Barnstable, if you want me to be more precise).
Not bad, Ben. I know Wesley would like this summary! 😉
@NijayKGupta SEE WITH WHAT LARGE LETTERS I TWEET ? ALL ARE ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. #Galatians #WWPT
This one’s not too clever https://twitter.com/jenniferguo/status/590278555633868800
and this one’s controversial https://twitter.com/jenniferguo/status/590283044692631553
O-H!!!
I tried clever but all my attempts look lame, so I will go for accurate (I hope!): #Galatians #WWPT The apocalpyse has happened! A sinner like me no longer wants to live for myself or the law but for Christ crucified!
And I live in Chicago, IL
The removal of division in the body and the sufficiency of undiluted participation in Christ. Basically, NPP over Luther 😉 #Galatians #WWPT
I tried.
If new perspective it’s culture markers
If old no good works
If Hays it’s of Christ
In Christ if it’s not
We get in by grace
And no one is cut
Revision/New York State
New perspective it’s markers
Old it’s good works
If Hays it’s of Christ
In Christ if it’s not
Grace for all; no one is cut

Like the Blues Brothers, I’m on a mission from God. Like Willie Nelson, I’m on the road again. The promise of Christ is I will rise again. #Galatians #WWPT #140characters

Walk in the truth of the Gospel AND satisfy the flesh simultaneously: pound that bacon with Peter! Jesus died for no less. #Galatians #WWPT

sadly, I’m without a tweeter…
“If you want to be a real Jew, enter Christ. No ethnic barriers, just faith working through love (by the Spirit).”

Hey Galatians-let’s live in the freedom with have in Christ and not in rules that enslave us. Unfollow untruth! #Galatians #WWPT @paulredux From Chicago, IL
Jesus crucified, flesh fossilized. Peter petrified, ate with circumcised. Law victimized, now Spirit-faith-love emphasized. #Galatians #WWPT

Law-Free =/= Sin-Full. Put down the knife and take up the Sword. #WWPT #Galatians
