b'COMMENTARIES AND ORIGINAL LANGUAGE RESOURCESGALATIANS AND EPHESIANS THROUGH OLD TESTAMENT EYESGARY M. BURGEA New Testament commentary steeped in the Old Testament.Galatians and Ephesians are steeped in Old Testament allusions and ref-erences. The author of these epistles was trained in rabbinic tradition, raised in Jewish culture, and deeply familiar with the Old Testament. If not properly recognized, the reader is hindered in their understanding of the Scriptures. Galatians and Ephesians Through Old Testament Eyes makes these connections clear, inviting the reader to understand Galatians and Ephesians as the biblical author intended. Author Gary M. Burge offers thorough commentary and real-world application for the scholar and stu-dent alike.Gary Burge is a first-rate scholar with a pastoral heart. Not sur-prisingly, then, this volume is both well-informed and eminently readable. Those who know the scholarly debates will recognize Burges awareness of those discussions. He knows the background, approaches the discussions fairly, and comes to reasoned conclu-sions throughout.Craig S. Keener,Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological SeminaryFor two relatively short letters, Galatians and Ephesians can be overwhelminguncommonwords,majortheologicalconcepts, reflections of very different social experiences, and biblical echoes bombard the reader in verse after verse. Gary Burges commentary expertly guides readers through the complexity. The mix of atten-tion to the words Paul uses, the letters historical and social con-texts, and their intricate relationship with the rest of the Bible provide a rich resource. Even more, Burges own pastoral sensitivity helps readers hear the living voice of these first century lettersto connect their challenge with our world.Caryn A.
