There is certainly a place for many commentaries on Galatians, but those who invest in only one would do well to make it Moo's. Careful in its exegesis, balanced in its judgments, fair in its treatment of others, and theologically sensitive, Moo's Galatians, like his commentary on Romans, is sure to become a standard work in the field.
--Stephen Westerholm, McMaster University (emeritus)
"Moo's expertise as a commentator is well known, and his skill is on display in this outstanding commentary on Galatians. Moo is scrupulously fair to opposing viewpoints and nuanced and careful in his explication of the text. In addition to a line-by-line explanation of the letter, Moo also offers a substantive and satisfying explanation of Paul's theology in Galatians."
--Thomas R. Schreiner, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Moo reflects an admirable knowledge of the breadth of contemporary and historical literature on Galatians and on Paul's theology as a whole. The commentary also reflects an awareness of the most recent discussions of New Testament Greek, of social and historical backgrounds, and of various debates. . . . I consider most of Moo's exegesis as a model of the kind of careful work to which any scholar should aspire, and I am impressed with the care and insight with which most arguments are put forward."
--Roy E. Ciampa, Review of Biblical Literature
"Moo's commentary on Galatians is another significant contribution from the pen of a world class evangelical New Testament scholar. . . . As I teach and preach through Galatians in the classroom and in the church, I will look often to this fantastic addition to the Baker Exegetical Commentary series. . . . Scholars, students, and pastors should purchase this commentary and watch a master exegetical craftsman do his work with excellent scholarly precision and careful exegetical skill!"
--Jarvis J. Williams, Southern Baptist Journal of Theology
