Overview
"Leon Morris is widely known for his exegetical commentaries and his studies on the cross and atonement in the New Testament. Over the decades ministers, students and laypeople have come to appreciate his ability to drive to the heart of complex issues and to state profound truths in plain language. Never diverted by interpretive fashion or speculation, he represents a classic exegetical tradition that focuses on the plain meaning of the biblical text and the apostolic truth of the gospel. Readers who have puzzled over the twists, turns and compressed argument of Galatians will be delighted to have Morris as their guide." "The commentary begins with an introduction discussing the date, authorship, destination, literary genre, the nature of Paul's opponents and the contribution of Galatians to Christian thought. The commentary itself proceeds passage by passage through Galatians, with Morris's own lucid translation of Galatians standing at the head of each section. The commentary is on the English text, with issues involving Greek words and grammar taken up in the footnotes." "Galatians has recently been at the center of a scholarly debate over the "new perspective" on Paul. One of the principal issues has been the meaning of Paul's reference to "works of the law." Is Paul opposing a righteousness that is constructed of good works, as interpreters in the tradition of Martin Luther have understood it? Or does Paul mean "works" such as circumcision, food laws and sabbath keeping, practices of the Jewish law that define the social boundaries of the people of God and thus stand as a barrier against the free inclusion of Gentiles in the new covenant? On this important and controversial issue Morris sides with Luther and his heirs in arguing that "works of the law" means "self-achieved righteousness.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
