I’m excited to be studying Galatians for the next 3 months. It is a controversial book these days- particularly in the dispute over the meaning of justification. I take the historical, Reformed Protestant view as espoused in the Westminter Confession of Faith where we are declared righteous because God imputes Jesus’ righteousness to us. Anyway, here are some of the resources I’ll be using and some I wish I was using.
What I’m using:
- Commentary on Galatians: Modern-English Version by Martin Luther (The link is for the Crossway version, sorry). Classic! There is some great stuff in here from the man who recaptured the doctrine of justification triggering the Reformation.
- Commentary on Galatians by John Calvin from his Commentary set. Have to use it!
- The Message of Galatians (The Bible Speaks Today series) by John Stott. Tried and true, this will be my 3rd go round with Stott. Great stuff, and not overly technical.
- Galatians and Ephesians (New Testament Commentary) by William Hendriksen
What I Wish I Had Handy:
- Let’s Study Galatians by Derek Thomas This is an easy to use, and understand series written for normal people.
- Galatians: Paul’s Charter of Christian Freedom by Leon Morris. The late Dr. Morris is one of my favorite biblical theologians. If ever I study this again, I will have this book.
- Galatians (Reformed Expository Commentary) by Philip Graham Ryken. He is the pastor of the historic 10th Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. This is a solid, readable series.
- No Other Gospel: Finding True Freedom in the Message of Galatians by Carol Ruvolo.
- Religious No More: Building Communities of Grace and Freedom by Mark Baker. The title is pretty interesting to me. Afterall, Paul is writing to a community!
