Fooling Ourselves with Fig Leaves: Confusing Religiosity with Righteousness

In his letter to the church in Galatia the Apostle Paul addresses the inefficacy of religious tradition for salvation and reaffirms the completeness of Jesus Christs redemptive work for our deliverance and righteousness. Fooling Ourselves with Fig Leaves is an attempt to take the message of the Galatian epistle and apply it to todays spiritual context. In it the author takes us through a journey of discovery and insight as he exposes the deceptive nature of religion and highlights efficacy of justification by grace through faith. As a professor and pastor Miciano writes with a desire to be faithful to the integrity of the ancient text while being mindful of the needs of believers and seekers today. This makes for an engaging read in exploring the age-old pursuit of knowing God and enjoying him forever.
