Galatians

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”

The Letter to the Galatians opens a window to a serious crisis in Paul’s ministry. In this letter, Paul defends the gospel and challenges the Galatian believers to remain faithful and to welcome all who have faith in Christ. Michael H. Burer presents a fresh exegetical investigation of the text, clarifying Paul’s meaning and message for the benefit of pastors, teachers, and students.

Praise for Galatians

A judicious treatment of the epistle that allows the teaching and the theology of the letters to shine forth. This makes the commentary an exceedingly useful companion to have as one studies this key epistle of Paul.

—Darrell L. Bock, senior research professor of New Testament studies, Dallas Theological Seminary; executive director for cultural engagement, Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership and Cultural Engagement

Burer’s volume on Galatians is a wealth of exegetical wisdom: an abundance of text-critical, grammatical, and interpretive insights, valuable theological reflection, and helpful pastoral guidance. A real treasure!

—J. Scott Duvall, professor of New Testament, Ouachita Baptist University

[Burer] carefully interacts with the most recent scholarship on Galatians while drawing on ancient Christian commentaries to produce a solid, informed reading of this crucial letter. I highly recommend this insightful commentary by a careful exegete, diligent professor, and faithful pastor.

—Michael J. Wilkins, distinguished professor emeritus of New Testament language and literature, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

Thorough, accessible, and useful for those in the trenches of ministry. It is carefully written, not losing the forest for the trees, while bringing clarity to the towering oaks that get our attention.

—Travis Chappell, pastor, Fellowship Bible Church, Greenville, TX
