Timothy George's NAC is strongest on the theological message of the text, and he does a great job placing his discussion in the light of the history of commentary on Galatians. He's known as something of a Reformation historian, but his historical knowledge of church history as a whole comes out in this commentary. Unlike some critics of the New Perspective, he does treat their arguments explicitly at times, but he interacts a lot less with contemporary scholarship than most commentaries of this size would. In many ways this isn't a typical commentary, but I've found his comments helpful and a nice complement to a more traditional commentary. He is more concerned with the issues an expositor would care about than, say, Bruce or Longenecker. [Full Review]

Derek Thomas describes this commentary as "wonderful," and I concur. It is one of the better volumes in the NAC series and complements Ryken's work nicely. [Full Review]

This is an excellent commentary from a semi-technical/pastoral view point. With around 70 pages of introduction George is very detailed in the arguements for dating and destination. An excellent defense and representation of Bruce's South Galatian/pre-Jerusalem Council destination and dating. This commentary will prove very uselful to the pastor and serious student while still satisfying may scholars.

A wonderful commentary written by an accomplished church historian who shows himself an able biblical scholar.

Best Commentary on Galatians out there. Excellent for the serious student and pastor, while not highly technical George does deal with scholorly subjects very well.
