“When Paul therefore claims that he has ‘died to the law,’ he means that he has been released from the binding authority of the law of Moses.” (Page 168)
“He is not arguing that Gentiles should be included, with Jews, in the people of God; he is arguing, rather, that Jews should be included, with Gentiles, in the mass of ordinary humanity. Jews are ‘sinners’ just like the Gentiles, with the radical implication that follows: their obedience to the covenant stipulations cannot put them right with God; only a total reliance on Christ, by faith, can do so.” (Page 157)
“These direct claims reveal that Paul writes Galatians to combat people who are pressuring the Galatians to undergo circumcision and submit to the law of Moses as a means of completing their Christian experience.” (Page 19)
“Galatians, we conclude, was probably written in AD 48 just before the Apostolic Conference of Acts 15.24 It is the earliest extant letter of Paul.” (Page 18)
“The person who is joined to Christ enjoys both forensic justification (vv. 16, 21) and transformation (vv. 19–20). They are inseparable but distinct effects of our union with Christ.” (Page 155) |
In this age of unprecedented proliferation of biblical commentary series, it is an outstanding accomplishment for the Baker Exegetical series consistently to have produced what, with only rare exceptions, have become the best available commentaries on the Greek text of the New Testament book or books treated.
—Craig Blomberg, distinguished professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary
Rigorous exegesis by seasoned scholars with explicit evangelical commitments. This is also one of the best-designed, easy-to-read series as it includes intro matters, then each commentator’s translation, commentary, and textual notes for every passage. Very reliable.
—Bruce Riley Ashford, provost and dean of faculty, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
