“Craig Keener’s commentary on Paul’s Letter to the Galatians has an erudition and thoroughness that is simply unmatched. Keener combines his encyclopedic knowledge of the ancient world with his penchant for sharp exegetical insights and sensitivity to the theological texture of Scripture. Surely a must-have resource on one of the apostle Paul’s most disputed letters. Classic Keener!”

Michael F. Bird, lecturer in theology, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia

“Craig Keener’s new commentary on Galatians is a must-read for its engagement with possible interpretations, its attention to primary source data, its measured evaluations, and its interaction with the secondary literature. The commentary is meticulous and thorough, Dr. Keener’s hallmarks.”

A. Andrew Das, Elmhurst College; author of Galatians in the Concordia Commentary series

“Craig Keener has put us in his debt again with his commentary on Galatians. He interacts regularly with primary sources in the Greco-Roman world and Second Temple Judaism, is deeply conversant with contemporary scholarship, and provides his own lucid commentary on one of Paul’s most significant letters.”
