An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
by Francis I. Andersen
For Francis Andersen, the Old Testament book about Job is one of the supreme offerings of the human mind to the living God, and one of the best gifts of God to humanity. "The task of understanding it is as rewarding as it is strenuous. . . . One is constantly amazed at its audacious theology and at the magnitude of its intellectual achievement. Job is a prodigious book in the vast range of its ideas, ...

Three Decades of Wisdom in a One-Volume Commentary on Isaiah

paperbackJeremiah and Lamentations
An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
by Hetty Lalleman
Despite the themes of doom and destruction, the primary message of Jeremiah is one of the love and grace of a God who never gives up on those he has called to be his own.

Kidner Classic Commentaries
by Derek Kidner
Preaching's Preacher's Guide to the Best Bible Reference

Reformation Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Carl L. Beckwith
The Reformation era revolution in preaching and interpreting the Bible did not occur without keen attention to the Old Testament Scriptures. This is especially true with regard to the Hebrew prophets. Ezekiel and Daniel, replete with startling, unnerving imagery and visions, apocalyptic oracles of judgment and destruction, captivated the reformers as they sought to understand their time and themselves ...

The IVP New Testament Commentary Series
by Ronald J. Kernaghan
The Gospel of Mark is widely regarded today as the first Gospel to be written. Until recent decades, its fast-paced, seemingly straightforward presentation led most readers to overlook its subtle theological sophistication.

paperbackLuke: Historian & Theologian
by I. Howard Marshall
Apart from the apostle Paul, Luke is arguably the most influential force in the canon of the New Testament. His Gospel and Acts occupy almost a third of the New Testament, and together their narrative voice carries us over a span of more than sixty years, from the birth of Jesus to the imprisonment of Paul in Rome. It is difficult to imagine our understanding of the New Testament period without ...

paperbackJohn
The IVP New Testament Commentary Series
by Rodney A. Whitacre
The Gospel of John declares its purpose clearly--"these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." Thus it fulfills a dual function, encouraging believers and providing them with evidences for proclaiming that Jesus is God's Messiah, the divine, incarnate Son of God. Christians today, as in the first century, ...
