Praise for John G. Butler's Commentaries
This [Analytical Bible Expositor series] is absolutely the best commentary series Logos could ever put into production...I have all of his other resources in print & they are absolutely vital to my Bible study. They are the most truthful, uncompromising gems I've ever read. After consulting the Bible text itself, my next step is always Butler.

Top Highlights
“All of this gave Satan a great advantage, but it showed that if we have spiritual power, we can do well in spite of physical weakness.” (Page 70)
“Churches do not want their pastors preaching with conviction about right and wrong, and society does not want churches holding strong convictions about right and wrong. But it is Christ’s way and thus the right way.” (Page 81)
“Demanding one’s rightful share of the inheritance before the death of the parents is repugnant to good people. It is a perversion of privilege. It looks at gifts as debts and rights that one deserves.” (Page 299)
“Most men are like this prodigal in that they run to do evil but drag their feet to do righteousness.” (Page 300)
“The patience missing in the demand. ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.’ (Luke 15:12). The prodigal could not wait for the proper time to obtain his inheritance. Such is the way of the flesh. It has no patience. It wants fulfillment of fleshly pleasures now, not later. Such folk cannot wait for marriage to have sex; they do not want to wait in work for wages; they do not want to wait in study for good grades in school. The devil has many shortcuts, and they look appealing, but they are all deadly and will destroy.” (Page 299)
