Every sincere seeker of God wants to better understand His Word. This begins with reading the inspired text itself. The central truths of God’s Word are plain to all.

In these books, able and widely known Bible teachers throw the light of reverent scholarship and deep spiritual insight upon the riches of God’s Word. They enhance your understanding of context, history and application of the events and lessons recorded in Scripture. Each of the 14 volumes of New Testament Commentaries is clear and non-technical, easy to understand and easy to use. Each book provides a detailed verse-by-verse explanation and sound, practical interpretation of the biblical book it covers. Each contains the text of the American Standard Version, recognized for its literal and accurate translation from the original languages.
Top Highlights
“It is remarkable that it occurs in hundreds of papyri epistles but in the New Testament only here and in Acts 15:23, and 23:26. The former instance is in the Letter from the church in Jerusalem to the brethren in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia which may well have been penned by James (with the concurrence of ‘the apostles, elders and whole church’) who appears to have been quite prominent in the church in that city at that time. Paul and Peter, with some variation, use the more familiar greeting, ‘Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.’” (Page 33)
“Is any cheerful?—(Euthumei.) The word thus translated does not convey the notion of fun or frivolity, but describes a disposition that is friendly, joyful, pleasant and agreeable. One ‘cheerful,’ in the original sense of the term, is one in good spirits, one possessed of a frame of mind that is free of anxiety and disturbing problems.” (Page 301)
“the sufferer sustains no moral blame that is under contemplation here” (Page 35)
“Abraham’s son (Gen. 26:24), and to Jacob, Isaac’s son (Gen. 35:9–15)” (Page 26)
“figuratively. The context would suggest that it is literal sickness” (Page 304)
