In this commentary, James Dunn explores the book of Galatians, possibly Paul's boldest exposition of the Gospel and one of the best examples that his theology emerged from the framework of a living community. Dunn's penetrating analysis and original translation makes Paul's rhetoric accessible to scholars, students, and laypersons. As with the other volumes in this series, you can expect a Scripture index, highlighted terms and phrases, explanation of Greek and foreign terms, and references to primary and secondary literature.

I for one am glad to have a commentary that thoroughly presents the so-called 'new perspective' from one of this schools top proponents, James Dunn. Whether one agrees with the position or not, all can learn from hearing both sides of the argument. Personally, I am convinced that at least some of the points made by the NP cannot be ignored, while there are others that need further development. All the same, this is one of my favorite commentaries on Galatians.
