The Teach the Text Commentary Series (9 vols.) gives pastors the best of biblical scholarship and presents the information needed to move seamlessly from the meaning of the text to its effective communication. In this series’ second upgrade, Ronald W. Pierce examines God’s sovereignty in Daniel and C. Hassell Bullock focuses on Psalms 1–72. Each volume in this series keeps the discussion in each carefully selected preaching unit to six pages of focused commentary, which allows pastors to quickly grasp the most important information. Each unit of the commentary includes the big idea and key themes of the passage, with sections dedicated to understanding, teaching, and illustrating the text. Also included in this series are full-color illustrations, maps, and photos.
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.
—George H. Guthrie, Benjamin W. Perry Professor of Bible, Union University
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
Teach the Text is the kind of commentary I have wanted for a long time.
