When people read the Bible, they are often frustrated by the wide gap in time and culture that separates them from the original events. The aim of the Concise Bible Commentary is to bridge the gap by providing the sort of information that ordinary readers are looking for in their search for a clearer understanding of the Bible. With a clearer understanding, the Bible becomes more relevant.
The Concise Bible Commentary also bridges the gap between a technical Bible commentary and the person who has little detailed knowledge about the Bible. This commentary is based on firm biblical scholarship, but the reader does not have to be a scholar to understand it. It retains its credibility as a reliable reference work that is easily understood, but not simplistic. It seeks to be true to the Bible, while at the same time being helpful to the reader.
