Praise for the Print Edition
John G. Butler, longtime pastor and Bible commentator, is to be commended for his affirmation, alliteration, and application of the biblical text. He provides a treasure chest of biblical truth for the teacher and preacher of the Word of God. I gladly recommend his writings.
—Dr. Franklin L. Kirksey, Pastor, Teacher, Mentor, Writer, Author of Sound Biblical Preaching: Giving the Bible a Voice
I know of no finer collection of resources than Butler. No library is complete without these uncompromising gems of wisdom. After reading the Bible text itself, my next step is always to consult Butler. They are absolutely essential to my Bible study.

Top Highlights
“This text is not just for married people, but it is a text and creed that applies to all people” (Page 168)
“The meaning of the word also involves prosperity—not material prosperity here but spiritual prosperity. In its secular use the Greek word did indeed involve ‘outward [material] prosperity’ (Vincent). But its use in the Sermon on the Mount is obviously limited to spiritual prosperity. And spiritual prosperity is blessing of the highest character. Material prosperity is limited prosperity and does not compare to spiritual prosperity.” (Page 28)
“There can be no comfort where there is no grief’ (Bruce/Robertson). Many want conversion but do not want to mourn their sin. Many want salvation but do not want to confess they are a sinner.” (Page 42)
“Many folk focus on the promises in the Scriptures but not on the precepts. But unless you pay attention to the precepts, you can forget the promises. Wise men will let God take care of the promises, and they will concentrate on the precepts.” (Page 63)
“In a practical, non-dictionary sense, we can say the beatitudes are those attitudes that should be in us. Christ’s exhortation in the Sermon on the Mount is that we should be of these attitudes.” (Page 28)
