Overview

The Gold Medallion Award–winning Expositor’s Bible Commentary is a major contribution to the study and understanding of the Scriptures. Providing pastors and Bible students with a comprehensive and scholarly tool for the exposition of the Scriptures and the teaching and proclamation of their message, this 12-volume reference work has become a staple of seminary and college libraries and pastors’ studies worldwide.

The Expositor’s Bible Commentary uses the New International Version for its English text, but also refers freely to other translations and to the original languages. Each book of the Bible has, in addition to its exposition, an introduction, outline, and bibliography. Notes on textual questions and special problems are correlated with the expository units; transliteration and translation of Semitic and Greek words make the more technical notes accessible to readers unacquainted with the biblical languages. In matters where marked differences of opinion exist, commentators, while stating their own convictions, deal fairly and irenically with opposing views.

“It may denote either priority in time (cf. Moff., Am. Trans.) or supremacy in rank (NIV). In the present passage perhaps we should see both meanings. Christ is before all creation in time; he is also over it in rank and dignity. The major stress, however, seems to be on the idea of supremacy.” (Page 182)

“The third interpretation is suggested by Vine. He writes, ‘By means of begetting children and so fulfilling the design appointed for her through acceptance of motherhood … she would be saved from becoming a prey to the social evils of the time and would take her part in the maintenance of the testimony of the local church’ (p. 47). This fits best with the context and the main emphasis of this Epistle.” (Page 362)

“The verb translated ‘bring up’ (ektrephete) has to do in the first place with bodily nourishment (Eph 5:29) and then with education in its entirety.” (Page 82)

“For the peace of God not only suffices but far surpasses human comprehension. It acts as a sentry to guard the believer’s heart (a biblical symbol for the personality in which the mind resides) and the believer’s thoughts from all anxiety and despair.” (Page 152)

“Paul understands clearly that he has a continuing responsibility to pursue the purposes Christ had chosen him for. Spiritual progress is ever the imperative Christians must follow.” (Page 142)
