Dr Moo is an excellent instructor. What he sometimes refers to as being "wishy-washy", I interpret as "Well Balanced". I have learned through Dr. Moo that there are nuggets of truth in most of the various perspectives of Scripture interpretation. One needs to always test them against the traditions we have inherited and the Text itself.

Got Galatians and Romans at 60% off. Douglas Moo is an outstanding expositor and teacher. I am really enjoying Galatians (about 30%) of the way. Highly recommended to those who can afford it.
