Reviews
Provides meaningful contributions to significant debates on Galatians and advances these discussions. Any student of Galatians, as well as Paul's larger theology, will be rewarded by engagement with these authors. * Biblische Notizen *
Peter Oakes and Andrew K. Boakye shed new light on classic topics like Paul's faith language and his use of Old Testament texts in Galatians, while also drawing attention to underappreciated themes such as unity and new life. This is a theological introduction, a brief summary of key scholarship, and a fresh take - all packed into one concise book. * Nijay K. Gupta, Northern Seminary, USA *
What is Galatians all about? Peter Oakes and Andrew K. Boakye have each written separately on this letter, and have now teamed up to offer us a series of important perspectives. Their emphasis on the letter's purpose - to offer a vision of a Spirit-enabled, reanimated communal life of unity in diversity, in relationship with the living Christ - rightly highlights what Paul himself highlights but interpreters sometimes miss. Their work should inform future conversation about this powerful Pauline letter and its significance both for Paul's day and for ours. * Michael J. Gorman, St. Mary's Seminary & University, USA *
