Paul's letter to the Galatian churches is among the most riveting, personal, and rich of the apostle's writings. It arose in the midst of a crisis situation in which Paul is battling with Judaizers... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have used this one several times. It is a great short commentary. Over and over I have found this commentary gives succinct reviews without skimping on the most important aspects. It is a beautiful complement to a fuller treatment like Fung or Bruce. Jervis brings clear and often teachable/preachable points for each passage. She also gives a careful handling of the text. I have not found a passage yet where she makes the error many commentators make, to insert their favorite theological persuasion into the text. I have used this book as a jumpstart when doing sermon exegesis and am short on time...or just when I need another perspective. It's one of my top five commentaries on Galatians. I give it a big thumbs up.
