We are supported in following Paul’s argument step by step, so that justification, union with Christ, and Spirit led holiness are proclaimed with balance.
Why Should I Own This Commentary?
We should own this volume when we need help preaching Galatians with precision and pastoral warmth. It keeps the letter’s urgency in view while maintaining clarity.
It is also a practical tool for the church because it helps us apply Galatians to real pressures, whether moralism, fear of man, or false confidence.
For those training to preach, it models how to handle theological argument in a way that feeds faith and obedience.
