Overview

What do you do when you’ve made a mess of things? Where do you go when you’ve blown it badly? How does the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ empower us to combat things like hypocrisy, pride, people-pleasing, and apostasy? Paul’s letter to the Galatians tells us what we need to know in these situations as he teaches us how to rely upon costly grace.

In this fresh and engaging commentary, pastor Todd Wilson invites us to look beneath the surface of controversy in Galatia to the even more fundamental issue at stake: gospel-rooted living. Combining scholarly depth with practical wisdom, he offers us a soulful commentary based on years of ministry experience and biblical reflection.

Top Highlights

“From what we know of the Galatians’ own experience, apostasy comes over us when two things happen to us. First, we experience soul-trouble—a personal crisis, hardship, tragedy, or loss. And, secondly, we encounter twisted truth—some subtle perversion of the truth of Scripture, a slight distortion of the grace of God in the gospel.” (Page 30)

“Second, we must let Scripture be our final authority in matters of faith.” (Page 31)

“Are we relying upon who we are or what we’ve done for our right standing with God?” (Page 76)

“Instead the apostle who gave them birth takes them back to where it all began: grace. He takes them back to grace.” (Page 20)

“people-pleasers don’t make good servants of Christ.” (Page 36)

Praise for the Print Edition

Todd Wilson’s exposition of Galatians admirably meets the goals of the Preaching the Word series. Wilson knows all the issues in this letter and treats them with remarkable fairness, always making clear just what the text is communicating to God's people today.

—Douglas J. Moo, Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies, Wheaton College

I am deeply persuaded about the importance of exposition and the need for application and all the main things of sermon preparation. And there is a ton of info out there on how to interpret and outline a passage and settle on the big idea, but so much of it is not reliable. That’s why I recommend this commentary on Galatians from my friend Todd Wilson. Biblical. Solid. Trustworthy.

—James MacDonald, Pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel, Rolling Meadows, Illinois

Todd Wilson has written a deeply pastoral and theologically competent commentary on Galatians that is an exemplary effort at Biblical exposition. There are some doozy passages in Galatians, especially on the Law, and Wilson provides a plain explanation and then shows readers how these texts relate to modern Christian living. A wonderful synergy of homiletical energy and honest exegesis.

—Michael F. Bird, lecturer in theology, Ridley Melbourne College of Mission and Ministry
