Galatians

by N. T. Wright, Dale Larsen, Sandy Larsen

Overview

Paul's project, he often says, is building—not building with bricks and mortar but rather with people. He lays the foundation with the shockingly good news of one true God who raised Jesus from the dead, in order to build a new family with no divisions, all of whom can call God Father. In a world of widespread ethnic rivalry and trenchant divisiveness, Paul's strong corrective message in Galatians demands to be heard and reheard. In these studies by Tom Wright, we hear once again what remains shockingly good news.

Scot McKnight

Frank J. Matera in Interpretation
“This is a strong commentary that has launched this series on a good trajectory, and I hope other volumes will succeed as well, for it is the kind of commentary that theological students and pastors will find helpful for their own formation and the formation of the church.”

Calvin Theological Journal
“You cannot dive into [Wright’s] chapters to resolve some exegetical problem. You have to keep up with him and see how his long argument is unfolding. And when you do, you see Paul in a new light, and Galatians will never look quite the same.”

Religious Studies Review
“This work will take its place as a clear distillation of Wright’s main project for reinterpreting Paul and Judaism.
