Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"It is welcome news that the addition to this well-known series of New Testament commentaries intended for a wide readership has now been supplied. A special welcome awaits James Dunn's edition of Galatians, which stands as a companion piece to his monumental Romans. This volume is written in an attractively simple and succinct style, yet tackling the hard problems this epistle poses. Ministers and students will appreciate Dunn's restatement of his earlier contributions to Pauline theology and his reactions to the ongoing debate on such issues as the 'works of the law.' The general reader, moreover, will find this a sure-footed and profitable guide to what is in some ways the heart of Paul's gospel, both doctrinal and ethical."--R. P. Martin, Fuller Theological Seminary and University of Sheffield

Paul's letter to the Galatians may be the boldest exposition of the gospel and one of the best examples that Paul's theology first and foremost emerged within the framework of a living community. Dunn's sensitivity to the letter's larger flow of thought and his adept hand at guiding us through the sometimes murky waters of Paul's thought combine to make this commentary refreshingly accessible and eminently serviceable. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Outstanding December 26, 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an outstanding commentary on a book of the New Testament which has so often been mis-contextualized and misconstrued in post-Reformation times...particularly, by Protestants who project their "works" centered image and disdain of Catholicism onto the first century "Jewish" Christian world-view that Paul targets with his polemic in this book. Dunn masterfully unpacks Galatians according to its original milieu, while always conscience and sensitive to the ramifications that misunderstanding this book has had on Christian-Jewish relations over the centuries. His depth and breadth of knowledge, and use of contemporary literature--Josephus, Philo, Apocrypha, Pseudopygrapha, Dead Sea Scrolls--to elucidate Paul's meaning with regard to his present historical circimstances, is very helpful in understanding both the book and the man, Paul, who wrote it. I look forward to reading Dunn's commentary on the Book of Romans.

I for one am glad to have a commentary that thoroughly presents the so-called 'new perspective' from one of this schools top proponents, James Dunn. Whether one agrees with the position or not, all can learn from hearing both sides of the argument. Personally, I am convinced that at least some of the points made by the NP cannot be ignored, while there are others that need further development. All the same, this is one of my favorite commentaries on Galatians.
