"Commentary on Saint Paul's Epistle to the Galatians" is a collection of lectures on Galatians by St. Thomas Aquinas during his tenure as a professor the University of Paris, as recorded by a student. The book consists of six chapters, each with 5-9 lectures. Each lecture begins with a few lines from the Epistle. He then mentions a few points about the quoted lines, frequently doing this twice in the lecture.

The subjects of the Epistle include the questions of the relative importance of faith and works and the question of the role of the Jewish Law in Salvation after the Resurrection of Christ. I found that St. Thomas' explanations opened my mind to some meanings within the Epistle that I had not previously seen. For these insights alone this book is very worthwhile.
