After reading the Bible, every Christian should at least one time in their life read something by Martin Luther to understand the man who has been responsible for the Protestant Reformation and the issue of justification that was at stake. Luther’s commentary of Galatians was a delightful read. I was surprised that there was not a strong polemical taste to this work but instead one feels the pastoral heartbeat of Luther as he expounds the meaning of the text and often showing how a promise in Galatians should be applied to combating wrong thoughts and demonic discouragement. Again, a delightful read, but more than reading the words of Martin Luther this commentary made me read more carefully on my own the book of Galatians itself.
Thank you, SLIMJIM. How long is the work?
It’s about 200 pages
My son recently purchased the commentary and I have the Lbrivox recordings on my Iphone and IPod.
Cool! I have heard of Librivox and still need to download it for it to read to me while I’m driving!
