Condition: New

New volume in a favorite Bible commentary seriesWriting a commentary on Galatians is a daunting task. Despite its relative brevity, this Pauline letter raises a number of foundational theological issues, and it has played a vital role in shaping Christian thought and practice over the centuries.In this replacement of Ronald Y. K. Fungs 1988 New International Commentary volume, David deSilva ably rises to the challenge, providing a coherent account of Galatians as a piece of strategically crafted communication that addresses both the immediate pastoral challenges facing Pauls converts in Galatia and the underlying questions that gave rise to them.Paying careful attention to the history, philology, and theology of the letter, and interacting with a wealth of secondary literature on both Galatians and the rest of the Pauline corpus, deSilvas exegetically sound commentary will serve as an essential resource for pastors and theological students.
