Book Details
Book Information
Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, this series brings together commentary features rarely gathered together in one volume. Written by notable evangelical scholars, each volume in the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series treats the literary context and structure of the passage in the original Greek. The series consistently provides the main point, an exegetical outline, verse-by-verse commentary, and theology in application in each section of every commentary. Critical scholarship informs each step but does not dominate the commentary, allowing readers to concentrate on the biblical author's message as it unfolds. While primarily designed for those with a basic knowledge of biblical Greek, all who strive to understand and teach the New Testament will find these books beneficial. The ZECNT series covers the entire New Testament in twenty volumes; Clinton E. Arnold serves as general editor. In this volume, Thomas R. Schreiner offers pastors, students, and teachers a focused resource for reading Galatians. Through the use of graphic representations of translations, succinct summaries of main ideas, exegetical outlines and other features, Schreiner presents Paul's Epistle to the Galatians with precision and accuracy. Because of this series' focus on the textual structure of the scriptures, readers will better understand the literary elements of Galatians, comprehend the author's revolutionary goals, and ultimately discover their vital claims upon the church today.

Amidst all the new commentaries that have come out recently, this is the one that I have been oozing over. Schrenier is a great New testament Theologian, so I expected much. Well, he delivered. Schriener does a magnificent job with this commentary. It's exegetically faithful, works with the Greek while still being understandable by the layman and is very pastoral. Furthermore, Schriener holds to the original protestant position of justification. In short, buy this commentary now.
Zondervan have hit the nail on the head, Finally a commentary series that is helpful and user friendly on multiple levels. This new commentary by Schreiner will easily over take Bruce and Longenecker on this website as the best, once all the reviews are updated. Schreiner has written a wonderful commentary which is up to his normal standard. He deals with the Greek and gives some handy pastoral applications. He does not side with the new perspective and give many convincing reasons why. All through out the book you can see that he has thought heavily about every piece of text. He evaluates current opinions but always looks for the truth of the text (the original authors intent). If i can recommend one book on Galatians it would be this one.
