Galatians: Continental Commentaries
The long-awaited commentary by Dieter Lührmann is now available
to English-speaking audiences for the first time. It is a profound,
succinctly written dialogue with the text that carefully follows the
main points of Paul's arguments in his most controversial letter. The
author presents a theological interpretation which takes seriously
Paul's claims about the gospel and also provides a distinctive
outline based on this close reading of the text. Also included are
helpful discussions of the competing theologies of Paul and his
opponents, a chart on Paul's career, and a map of the Roman world.
Lührmann is a highly acclaimed interpreter of the New Testament.
This volume will be a valuable addition to a well-received commentary
series.
