The Teach the Text Commentary series gives Bible teachers the best in biblical scholarship and presents the information needed to move seamlessly from interpretation to communication of each book of Scripture. By keeping the discussion of each carefully selected preaching unit to six pages of focused commentary, the volumes in this series allow pastors to quickly grasp the general movement, concepts, and themes of each passage of Scripture. Each unit of the commentary includes the big idea and key themes of the passage and sections dedicated to understanding, teaching, and illustrating the text.The text and its meaning are made clear, and sections dedicated to effectively teaching and illustrating the text help pastors prepare to preach.

Key Features

• Provides information pastors need to effectively communicate Scripture
• Contains a concise summary, main theme, illustrations, and interpretation for each passage
• Points to key themes and ways to communicate them to today’s audience

Endorsements

Few commentaries help the reader move beyond study to thoughtful application, and fewer still move beyond application to teaching. That's why I am thrilled with the Teach the Text Commentary Series from Baker. Pastors and teachers are going to love this series. I highly recommend it.

George H. Guthrie, Benjamin W. Perry Professor of Bible, Union University, Jackson, TN

Pastors, communicators, and fellow Bible teachers, shove some books over and make room on your shelves. The Teach the Text Commentary Series was specifically envisioned with us in the lens and emphasizes precisely what matters most: communicating the heart of the authoritative text itself. Here is the best of biblical scholarship made accessible, applicable, and relevant to life right here on the hot pavement where we need it most.

Beth Moore, author and teacher

Most commentaries are either too technical or too light to be of much help, leaving us to wander through the text on our own. Accurately balanced between good scholarship and solid preaching perspectives, these commentaries provide an unusually deep and relevant approach to the text. If you take preaching and teaching the Word seriously you must take this series seriously as well.

Joe Stowell, President, Cornerstone University

"We live in an era that desperately needs to hear not more cheap advice about successful living but "the words of eternal life." That means burrowing deeply into Scripture--and coming out again with fresh theological and spiritual insights for living. The Teach the Text Commentary Series does that admirably. I love the way it connects text to background to theology to illustration. I can't recall any commentary series that has done all that better.
