The KJV Parallel Bible Commentary2 reviews
Nelson Books

No more flipping pages or carrying an extra book. Scripture on left side of page, commentary on right side of same page. Commentary by solid, conservative, proven contributors (Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, Elmer L. Towns ...).Map supplements, GREAT introductions and outline for each book. Two ...

The Essential Martin Luther Commentary Set: Romans, Galatians, and Peter & Jude (Martin Luther Commentaires)1 review
Martin Luther

Kregel Classics, 2006

Not as Good as The Newer More Modern Translation

If you are going to get Martin Luther's commentary on Galatians, you should not get this one as it is written in King James English. You should get the more modern English translation of Luther's commentary which is ISBN 0-8007-5648-7.
