Galatians

Summary

We find R. Alan Cole’s Galatians a concise, focused guide to Paul’s defence of the gospel of grace. He helps us see the letter’s urgency and its pastoral aim, to guard the church from distortion and to keep our confidence in Christ alone.

The commentary is brief enough to use quickly, yet pointed enough to clarify the argument and its implications.

Why Should I Own This Commentary?

We should own this volume when we need a straightforward companion for preaching Galatians. Cole helps us follow Paul’s line of thought on justification, the promise to Abraham, the law’s purpose, and life by the Spirit.

We also appreciate the way it supports proclamation. It presses us to preach grace with clarity and to call for Spirit shaped freedom, not self made religion.

Closing Recommendation

We recommend this as a useful mid level resource for preaching and teaching Galatians, especially when we want a concise volume that still keeps the gospel edge sharp.
