The late Dutch theologian Herman Ridderbos wrote "The Epistle of Paul to the Churches of Galatia" in 1953, It was one of the first contributions to the New International Commentary of the New Testament. Today, more than six decades later, it is still one of the best commentaries on this writing of the Apostle Paul. Written in a scholarly but accessible fashion, Ridderbos does an excellent job of explaining each passage in this epistle in a way that clear and concise. There are a number of controversial passages in this Pauline letter, and Ridderbos does an excellent job of noting the different interpretations of what Paul is saying. Although Ridderbos's Reformed perspective is in evidence, he is charitable to those with whose interpretation he disagrees
