About This Book
An exegetical commentary guides readers through Paul’s letter to the churches in Galatia, treating its address, doctrinal polemic, ethical application, and epilogue. It defends the apostolic commission and the gospel of grace against Judaizing legalism, analyzes Paul’s personal history and conflicts with other leaders, and explicates justification by faith, the purpose of the law, and the allegory of Hagar and Sarah. Practical sections contrast the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit and apply freedom in Christ to mutual care, responsibility, sowing and reaping, and Christian conduct. Final chapters warn against a return to ritualism and emphasize inward character over external observance.
