Galatians: A Commentary on Paul's Letter to the Churches in Galatia

Hermeneia

by Hans Dieter Betz (Editor), Paul the Apostle

Betz exhibits a massive control of the literature on Galatians and especially of the ancient literatuer relevant for understanding it. He has a gently rigorous way of demolishing fanciful and unsupported exegesis of the past while still taking clear positions on controversial issues.

Reviews

[Guillaume Bourin · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very thorough commentary. It is true that "Betz exhibits a massive control of the literature on Galatians."
However, I won't follow him on many of his conclusions.
