"Here is a rare exegetical feast, combining careful grammatical analysis, balanced judgment on debatable issues, and full notes that reflect acquaintance with a wide range of scholarly literature...It is exciting to have from the pen of an outstanding Chinese New Testament scholar such a splendid commentary."

—Murray J. Harris

"Fung writes in a beautifully clear and simple style with careful attention to detail...Here is sound scholarship and reverent exegesis which will greatly enhance the distinguished series in which it appears."

—I. Howard Marshall

"This expert and lucid commentary on Galatians will be a very valuable resource to all students grappling with the interpretation of Galatians and with scholarly discussion of Paul and Pauline theology."

—David Wenham

Written under the mentorship of F.F. Bruce, this commentary by Ronald Y.K. Fung on Galatians offers solid, reliable exposition of the text while also providing a fresh assessment of the larger number of interpretive questions raised by Paul's letter. This work also examines Galatians specifically as Paul's most direct defense and exposition of justification by faith, which Fung says is the central motif of Paul's proclamation of the gospel.

About the New International Commentary New Testament Series
“. . . undertaken to provide earnest students of the New Testament with an exposition that is thorough and abreast of modern scholarship and at the same time loyal to the Scriptures as the infallible Word of God.”

This statement reflects the underlying purpose of The New International Commentary on the New Testament. Begun in the late 1940s by an international team of New Testament scholars, the NICNT series has become recognized by pastors, students, and scholars alike as a critical yet orthodox commentary marked by solid biblical scholarship within the evangelical Protestant tradition.

While based on a thorough study of the Greek text, the commentary introductions and expositions contain a minimum of Greek references. The NICNT authors evaluate significant textual problems and take into account the most important exegetical literature. More technical aspects - such as grammatical, textual, and historical problems - are dealt with in footnotes, special notes, and appendixes.

Under the general editorship of three outstanding New Testament scholars - first Ned Stonehouse (Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia), then F. F. Bruce (University of Manchester, England), and now Gordon D. Fee (Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia) - the NICNT series has continued to develop over the years. In order to keep the commentary “new” and conversant with contemporary scholarship, the NICNT volumes have been - and will be - revised or replaced as necessary.

The newer NICNT volumes in particular take into account the role of recent rhetorical and sociological inquiry in elucidating the meaning of the text, and they also exhibit concern for the theology and application of the text. As the NICNT series is ever brought up to date, it will continue to find ongoing usefulness as an established guide to the New Testament text.
