You’ll get an overview of all the relevant issues related to a particular biblical passage, from exegetical topics like structure and genre, to interpretive issues presented by commentators.

Everything is organized and summarized in one spot—only a click away.
How It Works
The Lexham Bible Guides are complete Bible guides re-imagined for the digital age: a hybrid between a handbook-type commentary and an annotated bibliography, built on technological resources available only in Logos.
These guides are written from the ground up to take full advantage of Logos’ platform. The interconnectivity of the Lexham Bible Guides within the Logos library provides you with relevant, curated content at a click, produced by professional researchers. There’s no need to flip through pages, pore over commentaries, or search through dictionaries. You get access to the best content available—instantly.
This volume is available as part of the Lexham Bible Guides: Paul’s Letters Collection (13 vols.).

Praise for Lexham Bible Guide: Galatians
The Lexham Bible Guide: Galatians provides a great overview of the issues within Galatians, especially theological and lexical. The guidebook covers major issues of Galatians and references major studies within the English speaking world. When interpretative issues arise, the guide presents the viewpoints of the major studies while leaving the reader the ability to draw conclusions. The layout of the work is a great help. The marks left on the scrolling bar make it easy for readers to retrace their steps to earlier spots within the guide book. For those with a greater Logos library, they will find that the guide links helpfully to theological word books and commentaries. This is a great beginning work for deeper studies within Galatians. It will ‘save time’ as it claims for further study of this important letter.
