Galatians, Ephesians (Reformation Commentary on Scripture Series)

Reformation Commentary on Scripture – Galatians, Ephesians (Gerald Bray ed.)

---

Finding its source, beyond time, in the electing love of God, the Reformers disseminated the letter's message of temporal hope for Christians living under the duress of persecution. For the Reformers, these epistles were living, capsule versions of Paul's letter to the Romans, briefs on the theological vision of the celebrated apostle. Probed and expounded in the commentaries and sermons found in this volume, these letters became the very breath in the lungs of the Reformation movements.

The range of comment on Galatians and Ephesians here spans Latin, German, French, Dutch and English authors from a variety of streams within the Protestant movement. Especially helpful in this volume is Gerald Bray's editorial presentation of the development of tensions among the Reformers.

The epistles of Galatians and Ephesians open up a treasure house of ancient wisdom, allowing these faithful Reformation witnesses to speak with eloquence and intellectual acumen to the church today.

We look forward eagerly to further volumes in this series.

The editors of this series have done us all a service by gleaning from these rich fields of biblical reflection. May God use this new life for these old words to give him glory and to build his church. My lectures, sermons, PowerPoints, and private devotions will be enriched because of it.

I commend this work gladly. The blend of overviews and insights from our protestant forefathers with exegesis and application from contemporary reformed theologians makes for an interesting read. Contemporary readers will also appreciate the devotional notes in these commentaries. While many modern commentaries seem to focus on the application of the Scriptures, the intent here is Gospel-centered interpretation, resulting in devotional application. This is a work of serious scholastic intent combined with theological scrutiny and integrity.
