Note
Galatians is well known as Luther's favorite book: the subject of his lectures in 1519 and again in 1523. Luther has stated: The Epistle to the Galatians is my epistle. To it I am as it were in wedlock… It is my Katherine [i.e. Luther s wife]. The significance of this commentary upon Protestantism is difficult to overstate. Over and above all of Luther s writings it represents the crux of justification by faith alone in the strongest and clearest sense.
