Produktbeschreibung

"Oh foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?" (Galatians 3:1) Paul's fierce letter to the Galatians offers a glimpse into the early church and some of the congregational dramas in the face of incipient heresies. Rev. Dr. Andrew Das guides readers through the text and history of interpretation of this epistle. He gives particular attention to the Galatians struggle to faithfully integrate the Old Testament with the New, noting how Paul's rhetoric addresses the issues at hand both for the Galatians congregation and churches today. The length of this volume and the relative brevity of Galatians permit Das to include extended discussions of its exegetical challenges. Das has written the first faithfully Lutheran commentary that considers the full array of proposals from the "newer perspective" on Paul and the Law. He offers a trustworthy path through the controversies that will satisfy those searching for a viable solution to the impasse. FeaturesA reconstruction of the likely issues facing the congregation at Galatia The Pauline chronology and date of the letter Overview of the rhetoric and structure of the epistle Additional EssaysPaul's Apocalyptic Worldview The Extend of Paul's Arabian Ministry Flesh versus Spirit: Sharpening the Contrast About the series The Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text. The series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text. The foremost interpretive lens centers on the unified proclamation of the person and work of Christ across every Scriptural book. The Commentary fully affirms the divine inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture; Each passage bears witness to the confession that God has reconciled the world to Himself through the incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ His Son. Authors expose the rich treasury of language, imagery, and thematic content of the Scripture, while supplementing their work with additional research in archaeology, history, and extrabiblical literature. Throughout, God's Word emanates from authors careful attention and inculcates the ongoing life of the Church in Word, Sacrament, and daily confession.
