Nanos<br/>Joop Smit<br/>Johan S. Vos<br/>Nikolaus Walter<br/><br/>"The strong theology and the important autobiographical dates contained in Paul's Letter to the Galatians have made it a focal point in Pauline scholarship. This prompted editor Nanos to collect some key essays on some of the central issues in Galatians as a kind of handbook for students of Paul. The essays--all of them by noted scholars--are grouped under three headings: the rhetorical style and structure of the letter; the autobiographical materials in chapters 1-2 of the letter; and the situation or context that prompted the writing of the letter. The editor provides a thorough introduction that situates each essay in the present context of Pauline studies."<br/>--<i>The Bible Today<br/></i><br/>"The book is an excellent reference work and would make a good textbook for an advanced degree course on Galatians."<br/>--<i>Religious Studies Review<br/><br/></i>"Any reader who wants to become familiar with the current debate within the rhetorical features of the letter, the significance of Galatians 1 and 2, and the problems involved in identifying the situation Paul was addressing, could hardly do better than to study the essays included here."<br/>--<i>Westminster Theological Journal<br/></i><br/>"For the reader prepared to sift material from disparate angles and competing paradigms, this well-structured volume presents an efficient entrée to the critical study of Galatians."<br/>--<i>Reformed Theological Review</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mark D. Nanos</b> (PhD, University of St. Andrews) is the author of <i>The Mystery of Romans: The Jewish Context of Paul's Letter</i>, which won the National Jewish Book Award for Jewish-Christian Relations.
