The present commentary seeks to be a kind of Òhalfway houseÓ between highly technical and popular treatments of Galatians. Its purpose is to make the exposition as user friendly as possible with only as many technicalities as necessary to accomplish that end. The emphasis of the work is decidedly theological, with attention focused on the salvation historical argument of PaulÕs letter. The present commentary assumes a modified form of the ÒNew PerspectiveÓ on Paul and Second Temple Judaism as its framework of interpretation, and for this reason a premium has been placed on the letterÕs historical context as attested by the literature of Second Temple Judaism. However, far from being inimical to the foundational concerns of the Reformation, this reading of the Galatian letter is fully supportive of the great mottos of the Reformers themselves: Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide and especially Solus Christus, and all the more as the present work endeavors to honor an oft-neglected slogan of the Reformation Ad Fontes (Òto the sourcesÓ). Hence, the subtitle: A New Perspective/Reformational Reading.
