New Testament and Mythology

This is an important book for understanding the history of biblical interpretation in the twentieth century. Bultmann misunderstands the nature of mythology and attempts to find the existential meaning of the Gospel by removing all descriptions of the supernatural. Still, it is an interesting reflection on the nature of myth, history and truth.

Galatians

This is one of the best commentaries on Galatians by a very knowledgeable New Testament scholar. Richard Longenecker brings about his significant knowledge of rabbinic traditions to bear on the ancient Galatian situation.
