Exploring Galatians and Ephesians is G. R. Knight’s third volume in the Devotional Commentary series. The series seems to follow the Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide rather than the New Testament. The author’s approach is similar to that of his previously published volumes which were also discussed in Reflections. The book contains good summaries, helpful outlines, excellent treatments of theological issues, for instance, the role of the law in Galatians and faith and marriage in Ephesians, and useful applications to modern readers. The book is to be praised for its wide employment of literature and the utilization of boxes and tables, e.g., on spirituals gifts (p. 245). It makes a contribution to the current debates on salvation within the Adventist church by providing a balanced biblical view.

There are issues that would need some more attention such as the topic of the covenant. It may not suffice to point the reader to another book by the same author when discussing such an important topic. Furthermore, although it may be worthwhile to quote other scholars, this can easily become too much. It would be helpful, if the Bible verse under discussion would appear at the beginning of the respective paragraph(s) and that the verses discussed on a page would be listed on top of the page. However, these issues do not diminish the worth of a good and valuable contribution to the understanding of Scripture.
