Galatians: A Pentecostal Commentary

About the Book

Every serious student of the Bible desires to understand the text, discover the biblical principles, and apply the truths to his/her life. This commentary is designed to help students, pastors, and Bible teachers understand the book of Galatians in a simple manner. Working from the popular New International Version (NIV), the author provides helpful commentary on the text verse-by-verse. This verse-by-verse commentary is different from others in two respects. First, it is brief while some commentaries are unnecessarily wordy and verbose. Second, it is Pentecostal in outlook. This implies that we generally adhere to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and adopt a literalist approach to the interpretation of the Bible. The book of Galatians has been regarded as the charter of Christian freedom, the battle cry of the Reformation, and the Christian declaration of independence. For a generation that prides on personal freedom, the book of Galatians has a contemporary relevance. In it Paul proclaims our liberty in Christ—freedom from the law and freedom to serve the Lord.
