Paul's Letter to the Galatians has played a major role in the history of theology especially in the Church's teaching on grace faith and justification. This commentary argues that Paul's doctrine of justification by faith is essentially social in nature and has important ecumenical implications for the Church today. In its original setting Galatians established a foundation for the unity of Jewish and Gentile Christians: al are justified by the faith of Jesus Christ. In addition to illuminating the historical situation that led Paul to write his Letter to the Galatians this commentary pays careful attention to the rhetorical structure of this letter and its theological message. The author provides a fresh translation of Galatians critical notes on each verse of the text and a careful commentary of the letter in light of Paul's theology.Theories abound on the question of Galatians why it was written what it says and what the implications of that message are. Yet few scholars have devoted themselves at length to this letter. What sets this work apart is the extent and detail of its scholarship. Includes an updated bibliography as an appendix.
