The New Testament Devotional Commentary, Volume 3
Galatians through Revelation
In the third volume of his New Testament Devotional Commentaries Volume 3: Galatians Through Revelation, Bo Giertz returns to the text with his keen insight and love for God's word and God's people. This would finish his work as an author that began in the 1930s and continued for five decades.
Taking the principles of Biblical Realism he had learned from his mentor Anton Fridrichsen, with its rejection of both liberal higher criticism and fundamentalist biblicism, Bo Giertz opens some of the most difficult to understand texts in all of Scripture with a simple understanding that this is God's word for you.
He blends this approach to Scripture with pastoral insight gained from his years as both a rural parish priest in the Swedish countryside and the Bishop of the bustling cosmopolitan center of Gothenburg. His commentary on Revelation is particularly revolutionary.

Bo Giertz (1905-1998) spent his youth as a militant atheist before his conversion in college set him to become an apologist for the Christian faith, a beloved novelist, pastor and bishop in the church of Sweden. These commentaries were written in retirement after a long life carefully studying both the scriptures and the human soul.
Bror Erickson currently serves as pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Farmington New Mexico where he lives with his wife, Laura. He graduated from Concordia University, Irvine, in 2000 where he studied apologetics under Dr. Rod Rosenbladt. Subsequently, he attended Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft. Wayne Indiana, and graduated in 2004. He has translated many works by Bo Giertz, but he also enjoys hunting upland game and ducks with his dog, Grinner.
