IVP New Testament Commentary Series - Galatians

Product Description

Walter Hansen begins his commentary with this piercing counsel: "Wherever ethnic rivalries are destroying societies, the book of Galatians calls Christians to express the truth of the gospel in communities where there are no ethnic or social or gender divisions.” With billions of people in need of hearing the gospel, this cuts to the heart of evangelistic issues in our world today.

Hansen’s commentary stands out because he not only addresses the theology of justification by faith, but its social impact. He calls readers to move past issues of personal righteousness into concern for social justice, concern for issues of race, class, and gender—issues the church has dealt with since the time of the Galatians.
