Wayne Johnson, associate academic dean and associate professor of pastoral theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"It is a privilege to commend this fine verse-by-verse commentary on Galatians by my teacher and friend Grant Osborne. Grant rightly envisions profitable use of it in personal devotions, church Bible study, and as a sermon aid. His encyclopedic knowledge of the New Testament literature and his lucid writing style make this commentary a joy to read. Highly recommended!"--Andreas J. Köstenberger, senior research professor of New Testament and biblical theology, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and founder of Biblical Foundations"I am very excited about Grant Osborne's series of New Testament commentaries! The Galatians commentary is a wonderful resource for pastors and Bible study leaders. Osborne brings to bear his many years of experience as a professor and pastor as he explains and applies each passage in clear and substantive ways without getting bogged down in minor details or more technical discussions. Osborne's careful blend of accessibility and depth is what marks out this commentary as particularly useful. I hope many people will get this book and use it." --Ray Van Neste, professor of biblical studies and director of the R. C. Ryan Center for Biblical Studies, Union University"As a student of Dr. Osborne's, I taped many of his lectures because of their deep and profound insight into New Testament Scripture. It is a marvelous blessing that he has found time to provide a verse-by-verse exposition of Paul's letter to the Galatians. This excellent work will save pastors, professors, and speakers hours of study and preparation time, since the thorough and unique presentation totally eliminates the need to look anywhere else for deeper understanding. This is an outstanding, superb, one-stop shop commentary on the book of Galatians." --Raleigh B. Washington, president and CEO, Promise Keepers
