Galatians

Summary

We find John Brown’s Galatians a vigorous defence of the gospel of free grace. He reads Paul as a pastor contending for Christ’s honour and the believer’s liberty, not as a cold disputant.

Brown is clear on justification by faith and firm on the dangers of legalism. He helps us see how false additions to the gospel wound assurance and distort Christian living.

Why Should I Own This Commentary?

We should own this commentary because it equips us to preach Galatians with both courage and care. It helps us expose the subtle forms of self righteousness that still cling to the church.

We also benefit from Brown’s warmth. He does not merely dismantle error, he directs us to the sufficiency of Christ, and that keeps our preaching from becoming combative.

It is not a modern scholarly treatment. Yet it is deeply pastoral, and it remains remarkably apt for present day pressures.

Closing Recommendation

We recommend this as a strong Reformed commentary for preaching Galatians, especially for churches needing fresh confidence in Christ alone.
