Machen’s Notes On Galatians by J. Gresham Machen - 1972: Notes On Biblical Exposition And Other Aids To The Interpretation Of The Epistle To The Galatians

Any Bible student, teacher or any Christian will find Machen's crystal-clear exposition/exegesis of the first three chapters of Galatians useful for study. This FIRST EDITION paperback is "An International Library of Philosophy and Theology Biblical And Theological Studies" edition. The core feature of this volume is that it makes available in convenient form, the "Notes on Biblical Exposition" which Dr. J. Gresham Machen published in the earlier 'Christianity Today' from January 1931 to February 1933. Students at Westminster Seminary have made profitable use of these Notes on Galatians 1:1 - 3:14 by following them, with minor inconvenience, through bound periodical volumes; but for many others who might greatly benefit from them, they have long been inaccessible. Here you will find a master exegete opening up important and essential material to help understand the import of the great Apostle on this vital portion of Scripture. "Machen wrote on Galatians to inform his students and to help Sunday School teachers. It is written with delightful clarity and incidentally introduces us to what Machen did very well, teach the New Testament to students at Princeton and Westminster Seminaries. It is wonderfully lucid; a pleasure to read; a model for anyone who preaches the Bible." - Geoff Thomas

"J. Gresham Machen is perhaps best known for his defense of Christianity and especially for his articulate advocacy of confessional Reformed theology. By training, however, he was a New Testament scholar and by practice he was a biblical exegete of the first order. This little work on Galatians is still useful as a witness to Machen's clear-headed insight into the nature and message of Paul's letter to the Galatians. This witness seems particularly relevant in the midst of the current confusion surrounding Paul and the doctrine of justification." - Dr. R. Scott Clark

Consider this online review: "Galatians is by far the most passionate of all Paul's Epistles and the most underrated. It shows all sides of Paul. Although this book covers only the first three chapters of Galatians, you have the opportunity to see Paul at his highest level of passion described by Machen who has the ability to make any scripture come alive." Dr. J. Gresham Machen had been the highly respected Greek scholar and renowned Professor of New Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary.
