Summary:

For over one hundred years the International Critical Commentary has had a special place amongst works on the Bible. This new volume on Galatians brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological - to enable the scholar to have a complete knowledge and understanding of this New Testament book. Tuckett incorporates new evidence available in the field and applies new methods of studies. No uniform theological or critical approach to the text is taken.
