After the Apostle Paul returned from his first missionary journey,
he heard that a certain group of legalistic Jewish Christians had
infiltrated the churches he had established. These false teachers
were teaching that new Christians had to be circumcised and follow
the Old Testament law in order to be truly saved. Paul, realizing
the gospel was at stake, wrote this letter in response. In
Galatians Verse by Verse, experienced New Testament scholar sets
forth Paul's laser-focused argument: Jesus is not only the Messiah;
he came to inaugurate a new era in salvation history. In this new
era, Christians are not made right with God by obeying the law;
justification is by faith alone. This frees believers to live their
lives not trying to earn salvation, but instead joyfully keeping in
step with the Spirit. Pastors, Bible study leaders, and invested
laypeople will all benefit from Osborne's careful reading of the
text and commitment to making sense of the New Testament without
scholarly jargon. The Osborne New Testament Commentary Series is a
set of commentaries on every New Testament book. In each volume,
Grant R. Osborne seeks to carefully exposit the text in plain
language, bringing out the treasures in each book and making them
accessible for today's readers.
