The reprinting of the Vaughan/Lea commentary on 1 Corinthians thrills me. Many know the blessing of Dr. Vaughan’s biblically faithful and concise commentaries. The late Dr. Lea follows the same useful path. I had the joy of being Dr. Lea’s teaching fellow in Greek and the best experience of my PhD work was his supervision of my dissertation. I highly recommend this commentary by two excellent biblical expositors!

Dr. Vaughan’s commentary on Galatians is a model of careful, respectful handling of the text. He packs a lot in a short space, surveying opinions and moving to the heart of the text. The including of references, at the end of sections, to particularly helpful sermons on the specific text by Spurgeon and Maclaren is a great feature of this work. This will be a helpful resource for pastors and Bible study leaders.

What a great blessing to the saints of God that Curtis Vaughan’s commentary on Ephesians is again available. When the commentary first appeared as a January Bible study book for the Southern Baptist Convention (1964), I was a junior in high school. I attended every session that was taught. At that point, a deep-seated desire for the knowledge of God through biblical theology was implanted in my heart. I recommend this to pastors and laity alike. Its exposition is built on a profound understanding of the grammar of the text, the entire New Testament message, and the glorious gospel with all of its attendant doctrines. It is profound, yet easily within the grasp of every earnest Christian.

—Thomas J. Nettles, professor of history, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

I cannot recommend Vaughan’s study guide on Ephesians too highly. There is no fluff, no padding, no wasted words. If you are seeking a model of biblical exposition, or if you simply want a refreshing bath in biblical truth, open anywhere and begin to read. Vaughan’s comments comprise the most useful study guide in print for Bible students.

—L. Russ Bush, academic dean, Southeastern Seminary

Don’t let the size of this volume fool you. It contains a treasure of exegetical insight and solid theological reflection just waiting to be mined by the serious student of Scripture. Founders Press is providing a great service to the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ by reprinting Curtis Vaughan’s commentary on the book of Ephesians.

—Bill Cook, associate professor of New Testament interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Dr. Vaughan is a scholar and a churchman. He has long been a favorite at Southwestern Seminary. I highly commend his commentary on James.

—Kenneth Hemphill, former president, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

Dr. Curtis Vaughan is one of the most profoundly loved New Testament scholars Southern Baptists have ever had. When one reads his exposition of James it is not difficult to understand why he is so honored. The remarkable ability of Dr. Vaughan to take the difficult and the obscure and make it understandable and even gripping is disclosed herein. Do not miss this precious book.

—Paige Patterson, president, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

Curtis Vaughan’s commentary on the epistles of John brings together in brief scope a distillation of his breadth and depth of scholarship as one of the great masters of the Greek New Testament. When one reads Vaughan’s comments in digest form there is a sense that you have encountered scholarship set on fire by an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, the subject of all the Scriptures. I wholeheartedly commend this Study Guide Commentary on John’s epistles as a tool for biblically based self-examination and a basis for biblically grounded assurance.

—Bill Ascol, senior pastor, Bethel Baptist Church, Owasso, OK
