Prior to the middle of the fourth century, the exegesis of St. Paul
had been monopolized by Greek and Syriac commentators. Then, in the
space of half a century (c. 360 - c. 409), there appeared no less
than 52 commentaries by six different Latin authors. This sudden
flurry of literary activity has been dubbed the western
"Renaissance of Paul." Jerome's commentaries on four Pauline
epistles (Galatians, Ephesians, Titus, Philemon), which he composed
in 386 shortly after establishing himself in Bethlehem, occupy a
central place in this relatively short but prolific segment of the
history of Pauline exegesis in Latin. Jerome was the greatest
biblical scholar of the ancient Latin church, and his Commentary on
Galatians is one of the crowning achievements of his illustrious
career. It far outclasses the five other contemporary Latin
commentaries on Galatians in its breadth of classical and patristic
erudition, Hebrew and Greek textual criticism of the Bible, and
expository thoroughness. It is unique also because it is the only
one of the Latin commentaries to make the Greek exegetical
tradition its main point of reference. Jerome's Commentary in fact
preserves, in one form or another, a treasure-trove of otherwise
lost Greek exegesis, particularly Origen's Commentary on Galatians,
from which he worked very closely when composing his own work.
Jerome's Commentary on Galatians is presented here in English
translation in its entirety. The introduction and notes situate the
Commentary in its historical, exegetical, and theological contexts
and also provide extensive coverage of ancient and modern scholarly
debates about the interpretation of Paul's epistle. ABOUT THE
