Hello there and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb. And today I'm joined by a guest,

Geraldo Camacho, who is an author at 1517. Some people may have gotten the chance to meet him. He did attend the Here We Still

Stay on conference last year. He came and sat in at least on the Thinking Fellows episode,

and I know that you attended many of the other events. But the reason you are on the show today,

and I'll let you introduce yourself in a second here, but is because you recently published a translation of Luther's

commentary on the Episal to the Galatians with 1517. It's a fantastic addition to our catalog,

and we're glad to be able to sell it and get it to people. And what we're going to do on this

episode is I'm just going to ask you some questions about that

translation, how you got into doing it, and why people may want to pick up this version of the book.

Many of our listeners may have read or been familiar with Luther's commentary on the Galatians,

but I think actually many people are familiar

with some of the concepts out of it and maybe have taken the class that we offer from the 1517

Academy on it, but haven't actually read through it themselves. And this may be a great way

for them to do that. So could you please introduce yourself, Geraldo?

Okay. Thanks, Caleb, and it's really a treat for me to be at this podcast

and introduce, really not myself, but the commentary on Galatians.

Luther's commentary on Galatians, the 1535 edition, Latin edition in 1535.

And I don't know if you realize, Caleb, how serendipitous is the fact that we are having this interview today, July 3,

because it was on a July 3, 1531, that Luther strode to the lantern there at the University of Wittenberg, and it was probably in

the evening, and he proceeded to begin his first lecture on Galatians. It was on July 3. And he begins at lecture. I don't know if you

have your book with you, but it is a section that begins on Roman numeral page. Let me see if I can find it here.

Yeah, it says somewhere before the main chapters.
