Galatians

Summary: Marvellous insights
Review: I had read Galatians before, but never learned so much as when I read it with this book. Scot goes into great, yet very relevant, detail about 1st century Judaism and how the conflict with this was a major issue for the largely-Gentile church at Galatia. It is not immediately obvious how conflict with Judaism 2000 years ago can apply today, but Scot draws out clear lessons about how we can learn by moving contents and looking for "socially equivalent" issues in the church today. Excellent book.

Summary: Excellent commentary on applying Galatians today
Review: I have read passages from Galatians many times in Bible studies, but never really studied the book in detail as a whole until now. This commentary really opened up the book for me in terms of understanding Paul's message and applying it to today's world. Excellent commentary and application, including many, many cross references to other writings with themes introduced in Galatians. Outstanding.
