The Letter to the Galatians
The Letter to the Galatians | David A. deSilva
9 posts | 1 read
New volume in a favorite Bible commentary series Writing a commentary on Galatians is a daunting task. Despite its relative brevity, this Pauline letter raises a number of foundational theological issues, and it has played a vital role in shaping Christian thought and practice over the centuries. In this replacement of Ronald Y. K. Fung's 1988 New International Commentary volume, David deSilva ably rises to the challenge, providing a coherent account of Galatians as a piece of strategically crafted communication that addresses both the immediate pastoral challenges facing Paul's converts in Galatia and the underlying questions that gave rise to them. Paying careful attention to the history, philology, and theology of the letter, and interacting with a wealth of secondary literature on both Galatians and the rest of the Pauline corpus, deSilva's exegetically sound commentary will serve as an essential resource for pastors and theological students.

This is kind of serendipitous. My reading in both my commentary and outline from the 1st edition of the MacArthur study are linked up.

When you are using this commentary make sure you have a translation with all four books of the Maccabees in it. Luckily I do. The Orthodox only goes up to 3 Maccabees, but I‘m using it for my Philokalia project.

The study list in the Galatians commentary is massive. This is what I was able to cull from my personal library that was mentioned on the list.

I‘m looking forward to the day when I can combine my library with the boyfriends. Then will have one great study library.

Desha Love this!! 💖 3y
