Galatians Commentaries (and Brief Thoughts on commentaries)

Good commentaries on Galatians

Some of these I have used a good bit, and others I have used only some….but all in the list have profit, the most profit coming from the actual text of Galatians itself.  Asterisk indicates favorites.

Merida / Platt

M.  Luther,    unfortunately, I’ve only realized this gem recently. 

Traditional commentaries can be boring and are often not extremely helpful.  As has been pointed out many times, commentaries must be used wisely and sometimes that means sparingly.   The format of a commentary matters a whole lot to me.  The new ZECNT series (Schreiner above) has a nice format that is user-friendly and thorough / not lacking in depth.  BST has long been a favorite series.  PTW is great.
