New Testament Commentaries: The Epistle to the Galatians |
 |
Title: New Testament Commentaries: The Epistle to the Galatians (Black's New Testament Commentaries)
Author: James D.G. Dunn |
In this book, Paul's epistle is transliterated, translated and explained, showing his central themes of righteousness and justification by faith. The epistle relates to Paul's missionary activities in Galatia, where he had established assemblies of Gentile Christians with no requirement for Jewish practices. Paul's letter is a protest, the first declaration of his "apostle-ship", a rebuke to the Galatians for straying from the doctrine he had given them and thinking through of that doctrine. The author also discusses the autobiographical details provided by Paul himself, the identity of the Galatians, the date of the epistle and the nature of Paul's opponents and reconstructs the situation which gave rise to the letter. |

Title: Grace in Galatia: A Commentary on Paul's Letter to the Galatians
Author: Ben Witherington III |
This book is an innovative socio-rhetorical study of Paul's most polemical letter. Ben Witherington breaks new ground by analyzing the whole of Galatians as a deliberative discourse meant to forestall the Galatians from submitting to circumcision and the Jewish law. The commentary features the latest discussion of major problems in Pauline studies, including Paul's view of the law and the relationship between the historical data in Galatians and in Acts. Yet the narrative character of Witherington's work allows it to remain exceedingly accessible. This volume also includes sections following the major divisions of the commentary that point to the relevance of the text for believers today. |

Galatians: A Pentecostal Commentary |
 |
Title: Galatians: A Pentecostal Commentary
Author: Gordon D. Fee |
In this insightful commentary, respected New Testament scholar Gordon D. Fee unpacks Galatians with a major concern for readers to consider the book of Galatians as if the Reformation had never happened, which takes the focus off the justification by faith or by works issue. Fee explains "the concern lies not in how one begins life in Christ, but whether, once begun, one must also add these aspects of the law to be completed in one's faith in Christ." Part of the Pentecostal Commentary Series. |
