Don Garlington’s Commentary on Galatians—Free!
I just found out that Don Garlington‘s commentary on Galatians is available as a free PDF from the Paul Page. It appears to be his contribution to the forthcoming volume 11 of the revised EBC rather than his 2002 Galatians commentary or his revised 2004 commentary, since it has citations from sources in 2006.

Westerholm on Righteousness and Covenant
I love this selection from Westerholm’s Perspectives Old and New on Paul. To this point I have discussed Paul’s usage of the dikaio– terminology with scarcely a reference to “the covenant.” So astonishing an omission can only be accounted for by a narrow preoccupation with the Pauline texts, which never link the vocabulary of “righteousness” […]

We had just finished reading Esther in our Bible reading, so the story was fresh on our minds. We were expecting […]

The Beauty of Holiness | Michael P. V. Barrett
Michael Barrett’s fourth book, The Beauty of Holiness, has just recently been released.

As anyone who has read a Barrett book would expect, it looks like it’ll be a good read. […]
