I've just started using Galatians For You for my new series of sermons through Galatians. This is the one resource that I could put in the hands of any member of my church and they would find it helpful for personal reading & study, for teaching others, etc. I'm looking forward to adding each new expository guide to my library as they are released, and they will be some of the most recommended books in my church because they are accessible to every Christian at every level of maturity in Christ. What a great idea!
With all the talk of being gospel-centered today, this book takes us to Galatians and clearly, helpfully illustrates exactly how Paul called on the people he loved to center their lives and their church upon the gospel.... continue reading
Fantastic commentary of Galatians. No, you're not going to get the most exhaustive, in-depth analysis of the text, but you are going to get an accessible, easy-to-read, applicable commentary of the letter. Keller writes in an easy and engaging way which makes this a perfect tool for following along with in discipleship or home reading for the lay person. Highly recommended.
The Lord has used this series to renew my passion for the Bible and in so doing, has taken me back to my first love of Jesus. Thank you to the authors for such a clear and concise explanation of the Scriptures.
I started reading this series earlier in the year to try to help me read and understand the Bible more. I started with Galatians and was so encouraged to learn again of the amazing truth of the Gospel and the hope we have in Jesus (not in anything else). It has also really helped me to understand the context of a lot of the verses so they seem even more meaningful (and powerful) to me!
Great fast delivery. Thank you! I bought these for our Home group to study as part of a Church wide study. There are some challenging questions in there that help you think of how these teaching apply to our lives today - just what we all need!
Excellent study book as ever by Timothy Keller.
We are using this book along with the bible study book of the same name. We've stopped reading the book as it will pre empt the study guide. It's a fantastic start for me so far I would thoroughly recommend it and I'm only on week one! Eye opener Thank you.
Clear, passionate, compelling study of Galatians. Timothy Keller gets to the heart of the gospel message. When you add anything at all to the all-sufficient work Christ you lose the point of the gospel and betray the Lord. Keller also shows us the heart of Paul and his desire to keep his readers rooted in Christ and free from erroneous teaching.
Clear and succinct. Really helpful in preparing for a teaching series through Galatians.
“Galatians is all about the gospel – the gospel all of us need throughout all of our loves. It’s dynamite, and I pray that its powerful message explodes in your heart as you read this book”. So begins Dr Timothy Keller’s book Galatians For You - clearly laying out the focus of both his work and the biblical book which it examines.
Keller’s book achieves three things superbly:
Firstly, it clearly explains the book of Galatians. Without getting bogged down in dull detail, Keller provides the reader with the right amount of information about the book of Galatians’ historical context, its author and the immediate situation which Galatians addresses for the readers understanding of Galatians to be enriched. Also, by working through the entire book of Galatians from beginning to end – chapter by chapter, verse by verse (i.e. an expository approach) Keller’s book is comprehensive in its scope. Although comprehensive, Keller’s work is very readable - the chapters of Keller’s book are around 12-15 pages in length – and are handily broken into two bite size chunks if you’re pressed for time (or have a short attention span).
Secondly, this clarity is coupled with a punchy and engaging style. Keller is always winning and winsome. He uses lots of relevant illustrations and examples to help us engage with the point he is trying to make. Often nice guys shy away from confrontation, but Keller never backs down from identifying error and pointing out where people have departed from the truth (and in doing so mirrors the author of Galatians – the great apostle Paul). Part of Keller’s brilliance is to show why such teaching can seem attractive or powerful to us – while helping us to see and understand both the lies that undergird such teaching and the dangers for those who adhere to such errors.
Thirdly, each chapter ends with “questions for reflection”, pushing us further in both our understanding and application of what they have just read. Keller helps us to see that for Paul – the gospel is indeed dynamite – blowing apart hard hearts of stone. Hearts that have been hardened by years of rebellious sin or hearts that have been hardened by years of self-righteous religious observance. More than that, the gospel contains an explosive force for the ongoing life of the Christian each and every day – as the spirit of Christ works in the believer bringing the gospel and its implications to bear upon every facet of our lives.
This book is a must read for any who wants an experienced and wise guide through the book of Galatians. It’s the kind of book that would make a great partner to your personal bible study – read a chunk of Galatians and then read a chapter of Galatians for You. Such an investment of time and effort will undoubtedly yield rich rewards. Galatians really is for you
I'm using this book together with my staff team and student leaders in a para-church organization we are in. This book fits perfectly to our focus and direction for our ministry and I believe it will help us to have a clearer and deeper understanding of the gospel. :)
Want to understand grace? ...this book is Ideal! Each chapter is thoughtfully broken into 2 parts, really well suited to being read a part a day. I found myself eagerly chomping through it in no time with definite positive results.
