Ecclesiastes Song Of Solomon
$24.99Add to cartGeneral editor Lloyd J. Ogilvie brings together a team of skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship with life-related illustrations.
The design for the Preacher’s Commentary gives the reader an overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the introduction, which reveals the author’s approach and salient background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen for the Preacher’s Commentary because it combines with integrity the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis, and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material, and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and vitality.

Psalms 1-72
$24.99Add to cartOne of the most rewarding adventures in Old Testament exposition is in teaching and preaching from the Psalms. In the Psalms we enter into the experience of the psalmist as he pours out his heart to God or allows his heart to be filled with a fresh word from God. You will appreciate Dr. William’s exacting mind and close attention to the text of each psalm. His scholarly expertise in dealing with exegetical issues will be of great assistance. The virtual line-by-line analysis leaves no gem in the treasure chest of the Psalms unexamined. Based on this exegetical foundation, Dr. Williams moves to address the practical issues facing the communicator of Scripture. His breadth of pastoral experience enriches each chapter, as he relates the biblical text to the church today, to our cultural milieu, to our time of history, and to our personal life of faith. The application and illustration could not be broader in scope, truer to life, nor more timely in relevance. The worship of God, the power of God, the kingdom of God–these themes emerge time and again with rich illustration. The most personal of the Psalms are dealt with in an intimate way that allows us to encounter God in a refreshing, renewing way in our lives.

Ezra-Esther
$26.99Add to cartIn a period of history like ours that cries out for decisive and compelling leaders in the church, Dr. Mark Roberts’ commentary of Ezra-Nehemiah (one book in the Hebrew and treated as such in this commentary) provides rich resources for understanding and implementing biblical principles of leadership. The author’s scholarship helps us live in the tumultuous world of Ezra and Nehemiah while at the same time enabling us to discover God’s strategy for the church in our turbulent world today. The interpretation of Esther will provide preachers and teachers a fresh approach to this often misinterpreted and neglected book of the Bible, challenging us to consider what it means to live as God’s people in an alien, secular culture. Part of Mastering the Old Testament, a book-by-book commentary by today’s great Bible teachers.

1-2 Samuel

Leviticus : A Book Of Ritual And Ethics
$49.00Add to cartBuilding upon his life-long work on the Book of Leviticus, Milgrom makes this book accessible to all readers. He demonstrates the logic of Israel’s sacrificial system, the ethical dimensions of ancient worship, and the priestly forms of ritual.

Pauls Letter To The Romans
$48.99Add to cartContinuing his series of highly regarded and innovative socio-rhetorical commentaries on the New Testament, Ben Witherington now tackles Romans, perhaps the most profound and difficult book of the New Testament.
Interacting with recent treatments of this Pauline letter and with ancient Christian commentators, Witherington shows that the interpretation of Romans since the Reformation has been far too indebted to Augustinian readings of the text as filtered through Luther, Calvin, and others. Instead, Witherington urges a reading of the text in light of early Jewish theology, the historical situation of Rome, and Paul’s own rhetorical concerns.
Offering a new translation of the Greek text and new insights into Paul and his world, this commentary sheds fresh light on the meaning of Romans for its original audience and for Christian readers today.

Matthew : Storyteller Interpreter Evangelist (Revised)
$34.00Add to cartFor the past ten years, the well-received first edition of this commentary has offered readers a way to look at scriptural texts that combines historical, narrative, and contemporary interests. Carter explores Matthew by approaching it from the perspective of the “authorial audience”-by identifying with and reading along with the audience imagined by the author. Now an updated second edition is available as part of a new series focusing on each of the gospel writers as storyteller, interpreter, and evangelist.
This edition preserves the essential identity of the original material, while adding new insights from Carter’s more recent readings of Matthew’s gospel in relation to the Roman Imperial world.
Four of the seventeen chapters have been significantly revised, and most have had minor changes. There are also new endnotes directing readers to Carter’s more recent published work on Matthew. Scholars and pastors will use the full bibliography and appendix on redaction and narrative approaches, while lay readers will appreciate the clear and straightforward text.

“But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7)Readers of Second Corinthians are likely to agree that Peter was right about Paul’s letters: “There are some things in them [that are] hard to understand” (2 Peter 3:16). This accessible Bible Study will help to explain some of those hard things, especially by focusing on what is delightful and inspiring about the biblical book. In 2 Corinthians we find promises of a glorious life after death, interesting and thought-provoking figures of speech describing followers of Christ, powerful stewardship messages, an amazing example of humility and proper respect, and much more. By the end of this study it will be easy to see why the folk at Corinth so loved and revered Paul that they collected this letter and others to save for future generations of believers.

Paul For Everyone The Pastoral Letters (Reprinted)
$20.00Add to cartWriting in an approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright helps us to see the pastoral nature of these letters. They are not just instruction books for junior disciples, but a guide to a way of life, and in many ways appropriate to all Christians. Paul is anxious to see that those who profess the faith should allow the gospel to transform the whole of their lives, right down to the deepest parts of their personality, and is concerned that every teacher of the faith should know how to build up the community in mutual support, rather than tearing it apart through the wrong sort of teaching and behavior.
Tom Wright has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament and to include in them his own translation of the entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion, with background information, useful explanations and suggestions, and thoughts as to how the text can be relevant to our lives today. A glossary is included at the back of the book. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily devotions.
