The body of the letter : do not yield to the Judaizing 'gospel!' -- Part 5. How then to live? : freedom, love, by the spirit (5:13-6:10) -- Part 6. Postscript (6:11-18).
"A thorough examination of the text of Galatians by Mark J. Keown. It includes an introduction to the letter and a verse by verse analysis of Paul's letter. It is designed to be readable, thorough exploration of Galatians without being overly laden with engagement with secondary literature. The Greek of Galatians is transliterated throughout the commentary, including the translations, making the Greek accessible to all readers. The real emphasis is engagement with the text, the meaning of the Greek, especially in regards to primary sources, and the flow of Paul's argument against the Judaizers challenging his churches. Yet, as is usual in Mark Keown's work, it is all presented in an easily understandable and readable way"--Page 4 of cover.
