The Epistle to the Galatians

Since its appearance nearly 35 years ago Blacks New Testament Commentary Series has been hailed by both scholars and pastors for its insightful interpretations and reliable commentary. Each book in the series includes: an insightful introduction to the important historical literary and theological issues; key terms and phrases from the translation highlighted in the commentary where they are discussed; explanations of special Greek or foreign terms; references to important primary and secondary literature; and a Scripture index. Pauls letter to the Galatians may be the boldest exposition of the gospel and one of the best examples that Pauls theology first and foremost emerged within the framework of a living community. Dunns sensitivity to the letters larger flow of thought and his adept hand at guiding us through the sometimes murky waters of Pauls thought combine to make this commentary refreshingly accessible and eminently serviceable. With a penetrating but never pedantic analysis Dunn opens Pauls letter to the troubled believers in Galatia with a skill that comes only with knowing the subject exceedingly well.
