Galatians MacArthur New Testament Commentary: Volume 19

by John F. MacArthur Jr.

Book Overview

Galatians has been called the Magna Carta of spiritual liberty, the battle cry of the Reformation, and the Christian's declaration of independence.

Customer Reviews

Excellent small group study guide!

I used this study guide to lead a group of guys at work and found it very helpful with many thought provoking questions. A couple questions lost some of the others in the small group. At times, I had to explain the questions in a different fashion so everyone could understand. Every section of the book was laid out with starter questions, an explanation of the passage, bible text, definitions, cross references and application questions. As with majority of the MacArthur study guides, this one is a good middle of the road tool that can help new believers and more mature Christians. As long as everyone does their homework, this guide will provide the leader with a good guideline to facilitate the conversation. I would recommend this study guide for any small group that wants to study scripture line-by-line and verse-by-verse.

Excellent quality

The book arrived in excellent quality, and I cannot be more pleased with the prompt service.

Great Work

I agree with the previvous reviewer, this is a great work on the doctorine of Grace and being set free to enjoy our salvation. But as with other works by John Macarthur, the use of a sharper editiorial pen would have been useful. MacArthur has a unfortunate habit of using 500 words when 50 would serve the purpose. Other than that, this is a very valuable work for deeper biblical knowledge.

Set Free!

This commentary clearly exposes false teachers and false religion. Word by word, MacArthur illuminates Paul's clear warnings and rebukes to the church at Galatia and the false teachers that were binding them in a hell of hypocrisy. A must read for anyone seeking to understand freedom in Christ. If Christianity is making you miserable, this respected teacher's book is a great relief.
