NIV Application Commentary: Romans
DESCRIPTION
From the Back Cover
Pontius Pilate’s question has found its echo in today’s society; What is truth? For many, it’s a negotiable item. But God doesn’t change, and his character and purposes aren’t subject to social whims. Living the gospel in our postmodern culture demands that we understand and internalize the truth about God and his plan for the world.
Paul’s letter to the Romans remains one of the most important expressions of Christian truth ever written. Its message forces us to evaluate who we are, who God is, and what our place in this world ought to be. Revealing the links between Paul’s times and our own, Douglas Moo helps us see how the eternal theology of Romans can be understood and lived out in our culture.

NIV Application Commentary: Acts
DESCRIPTION
From the Back Cover
The very name “book of Acts” implies that Christianity is anything but passive. Making a quick and continuous connection between faith and action, the first-century church grew from a handful of Jewish believers into a movement that, sweeping far beyond the confines of Judea, set the entire Roman Empire ablaze with faith.
Faith and action: that inseparable link is a golden thread running through Acts, and it should weave through our own lives as well. While the world today is very different from what it was 2,000 years ago, one thing hasn’t changed: God’s heart for lost people. As longa s he continues to act on their behalf, he will call us to play an integral part in his deeds. Acts lifts us up out of the armchair and spurs us to kingdom action, trusting that God will be with us as surely as he was with Peter, Paul, John, and the infant church.
Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Ajith Fernando shares perspectives on the book of Acts that reveals its enduring relevance for our twenty-first-century-lives.

Twenty-First Century Biblical Commentary Series: Book of Revelation: Unlocking the Future
DESCRIPTION
WILL THE HUMAN RACE SURVIVE IN THE FUTURE?
EVERYONE IS CURIOUS ABOUT THE FUTURE. There is something in human nature that wants to know what is going to happen next. God speaks to the need in our lives by revealing the future before it happens. That process is called a prophecy of future events. This book is a study of the prophecies in the book of Revelation.
The book of Revelation is the grand and noble conclusion to the Bible. It captives our attention, stirs our imagination, and points us to our glorious future destiny. It shows the living relationship between the risen Christ and His Bride, the Church. It also records the final days of this world and reveals the glorious new world yet to come. The book of Revelation gives us hope for the future when God will make “all things new” (Rev.21:5.
Dr.Hindson simplifies the message of the Revelation so that you can easily understand it for yourself. He surveys the general content of this captivating book of prophecy with a view to keeping the big picture in mind, rather than getting lost in all the details. His approach is to keep the study focused on the key issues in each chapter.
The Book of Revelation has been called the epilogue of the unfolding drama of redemption. It’s God’s road map to help us understand where human history is going. In the biblical record, human history begins in a garden and ends in the eternal city. It begins with tragedy and ends with triumph. It begins with man’s failure and ends with his exaltation. In between, there stands a cross! and on that cross, Jesus Christ changed the course of human history forever.
The message of the Bible represents the timeless truth of God. As each generation seeks to apply that truth to its specific context it becomes necessary for an up-to-date commentary to be created just for them. The editors and authors of the Twenty-First Century Biblical Commentary” have endeavored to do just that. They represent conservative, evangelical, and dispensational scholarship at its best.

Twenty-first Century Biblical Commentary: The Books of 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon: Goals to Godliness
DESCRIPTION
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY TO BE MORE LIKE CHRIST?
The key to achieving success in anything is to set reasonable goals and strive to meet them. The difficulty in striving to be like Christ is that we never ca be like Him-not perfectly, not until we are made new in His image in heaven. Yet, the fact that we cannot achieve perfection should never top us from anything good. So, the real question is, how is good is good enough? Any Christian who thinks he or she has nothing more to achieve in godliness and personal holiness is utterly deceived.
These books (especially 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus) are often referred to as the “Pastoral Epistles.” The name is certainly appropriate since these books provide the the most thorough statement of church government found anywhere in the New Testament . Paul’s combination of personal advice and apostolic injunction has set the pattern for church government for the past twenty-one centuries.
Yes these books are so much more than official letters on church policy. American scholar Homer Kent Jr. made a career out of studying these important letters in detail. He summed up his opinion of them, saying, “Not only is the content rich in doctrinal and practical discussion, so pertinent to the Christian life, but the historical, geographical, and personal notices make the letters colorful and intensely human.”
Charles Ray’s commentary is unique in that he emphasizes the personal, practical results Paul wanted to encourage every Christian to strive for in their daily walk. Here the reader will be challenged to see the goals Paul had in mind, and to incorporate them in his or her own life.

Twenty-first Century Biblical Commentary: The Gospel of John: Believe and Live
DESCRIPTION
This book will provide an in-depth and comprehensive look at where Bible prophecy, both fulfilled and yet-to-come, fits into God’s plan for believers and the nation of Israel. This book will take you through a detailed look at the difficult subject of prophecy using the incredible wealth of research and study provided by Dr. Edward Hindson, Dr. Mal Couch, Dr. Elmer Towns, and Dr. Robert Lightner. Their ultimate goal is to teach and encourage believers to know their Bibles in a more clear way. A series of study questions at the end of each chapter is designed to enable the reader to study the details of the book, which they can use on their own or in a group setting.
The message of the book of John is underlined by the use of two key words, believe, used ninety-eight times and life, used thirty-six times. In The Gospel of John, Elmer Towns places a particular emphasis on these words. The Apostle John wrote with a twofold purpose—as noted in 20:31—to communicate Christ through His miracles and teachings so men might, first, believe that Jesus was indeed who He said He was, the Son of God; and second, they might have eternal life because of their belief.

NIGTC: Luke
“WORK IN PROGRESS!”

(These are resources that are being developed. There is no release date. Pricing is subject to change.)
DESCRIPTION
Series: The New International Greek Testament Commentary (NIGTC)
The Gospel of Luke was written, says its author, as an historical account of the ministry of Jesus. Not only would it serve as the basis for a sound faith on the part of professing Christians, but it would also claim a place for Christianity in history. Christ’s ministry, as Luke shows, is realized prophecy; it is that time during which God’s promise of salvation was fulfilled. His teachings, healing, and acts of compassion are all part of the good news. In Luke’s Gospel, Christ’s message of salvation is directed to the weak, poor, and needy, with an emphasis on the importance of self-denial and of whole-hearted discipleship. Thus, while Luke is the most conscious historian of the Gospel writers, his history is a vehicle of theological interpretation in which the significance of Jesus is expressed.
In this commentary I. Howard Marshall calls attention to the theological message of Luke the Evangelist. His primary purpose is to exegete the text as it was written by Luke, so that the distinctiveness of Luke’s Gospel may be seen.
Basing his commentary on the third edition of The Greek New Testament, Dr. Marshall also refers to many variant readings which are significant in this study. He provides fairly full information on the meanings of the Greek words used by Luke and shows which words and constructions occur frequently and are therefore characteristic of his style. It is by this meticulous analysis of the Greek that Luke’s theological intentions can be objectively determined.
Author:
I. Howard Marshall (1934–2015) was professor emeritus of New Testament exegesis and honorary research professor at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. His many books include New Testament Theology: Many Witnesses, One Gospel and Beyond the Bible: Moving from Scripture to Theology.

DESCRIPTION
Series: The New International Greek Testament Commentary (NIGTC)
Drawing on many years of Marcan studies, world-class scholar R. T. France has produced an exegetical commentary on the Greek text of Mark that does what the best of recent Greek commentaries have done but in France’s own inimitable, reader-friendly way.
This work is a commentary on Mark itself, not a commentary on commentaries of Mark. It deals immediately and directly with matters that France himself regards as important. Working from his own translation of the Greek text and culling from helpful research into the world of first-century Palestine, France provides an extensive introduction to Mark’s Gospel, followed by insightful section and verse commentary.
France sees the structure of Mark’s Gospel as an effective “drama in three acts.” Act 1 takes up Jesus’ public ministry in Galilee. Act 2 covers Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem with his disciples. Act 3 focuses on Jesus’ public ministry in Jerusalem, including his confrontation with the Jewish leaders, his explanatory discourse on the future, and his passion, death, and resurrection. France carefully unpacks for modern readers the two central themes of this powerful narrative of Jesus’ life — the nature of Christ and the role of discipleship.
Supported by careful argumentation and impressive in its sensitivity to Mark’s structure, context, and use of the Old Testament, France’s study of the second Gospel is without peer.
Author:
R. T. France (1938-2012) was Hon. Research Fellow in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Wales, Bangor. His other books include Jesus and the Old Testament, The Evidence for Jesus, and Matthew: Evangelist and Teacher.

Einleitung
Das Ziel der Kommentare besteht darin, das Lesen der Bibel anzuregen. Die ursprüngliche Webadresse der Kommentare ist www.kingcomments.com. Die Kommentare, die vorhanden sind, sind aus dem Niederländischen ins Deutsche übersetzt worden. Es ist vorgesehen, dass, so Gott will, im Laufe der Zeit die fehlenden Kommentare übersetzt und verfügbar gemacht werden. Die Kommentare sollen das persönlich Bibelstudium unterstützen. Die Bibelzitate, die in den Kommentaren vollständig wiedergegeben sind, sind der Elberfelder Übersetzung 2009 (Edition CSV Hückeswagen) entnommen.
Die Kommentare zu den Büchern Hiob, Psalmen und Jesaja habe ich gemeinsam mit Tony Jonathan geschrieben. Der Kommentar zu Hesekiel ist in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Ron Vellekoop entstanden.
Die Bibel ist das unfehlbare, ewige Wort Gottes. In der Bibel geht es um den Sohn Gottes, der Mensch wurde, um am Kreuz für sündige Menschen zu sterben. Gott hat Ihn von den Toten auferweckt und Er ist jetzt im Himmel. Jeder, der seine Sünden bekennt und an den Sohn und sein Versöhnungswerk am Kreuz glaubt, wird nicht verlorengehen, sondern ewiges Leben empfangen. So jemand ist ein Kind Gottes. Gott unterweist seine Kinder in seinem Wort, wie sie zu seiner Ehre leben können und was sie durch ihre Verbindung mit seinem Sohn geschenkt bekommen haben.

Kingcomments (English)
Introduction
The purpose of the comments is to encourage people to read the Bible. The original web address of the comments is www.kingcomments.com. The comments that are available have been translated from Dutch into English. It is planned that, God willing, the four lacking comments will be translated and made available in the course of this year 2021. The comments are intended to help you study the Bible personally. The Bible quotations written in full in the commentaries are from the New American Standard Bible-NASB 1995.
The comments on Job, Psalms and Isaiah are written together with Tony Jonathan. The commentary on Ezekiel was written in close collaboration with Ron Vellekoop.
The Bible is the infallible, everlasting Word of God. The Bible is about the Son of God, Who became Man to die on the cross for sinful people. God raised Him from the dead and He is now in heaven. Anyone who confesses his sins and believes in the Son and His work of atonement on the cross will not perish but receive eternal life. Such a person is a child of God. God tells His children in His Word how to live to His glory and all that He intends to give them, because of their connection to His Son.

Hebrews a verse by verse commentary by John Cook
Description
John Cook was a true son of Texas. Born here in 1954, John grew up in a Christian family and was riding bulls in rodeos while still in high school. After graduation, John honorably served in the Army, in both South Korea and Germany. Following his enlistment in the Army, John returned to Texas, got married and moved to Oklahoma to work in the oil fields while raising a family.
John Cook was also a true, born again, child of God. He and his wife Pam raised their children in the church and it was during this period of his life that John started questioning some of the teachings coming from the pulpit in his church.
However, he did not feel qualified to debate these teachings with the pastor. This was when he decided it was time to go to Bible college.
John arrived at Tyndale Theological Seminary and Biblical Institute about six months after I did. As students, sharing many of the same classes, and as members of Seminary Bible Fellowship Church (later renamed Tyndale Bible Church), we quickly became friends. Little did we know that, together, we would pursue bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees.
Throughout our course of studies, John took particular interest in the biblical languages and Latin. Tyndale has always emphasized the study of the original biblical languages: Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, but John pursued additional studies past those required by his program, eventually taking, I believe, every language course offered, including those from guest lecturers.
His greatest love was biblical Greek, and during his course of studies, John started working at Tyndale as the school Registrar. After graduation he began teaching Greek and Theology to undergraduate, graduate, and seminary level students.
John rose to become Vice President of Tyndale Theological Seminary and, to help our educational efforts, moved with his wife, Pam, to Louisiana, where he established and oversaw a branch campus of Tyndale for a few years before he retired. He came back to Texas, but our Lord saw fit to take our brother to his heavenly home at the young age of 58.
It was during his years at Tyndale that John wrote this commentary on the book of Hebrews. Even to an excellent Greek exegete like John, the book of Hebrews presents its challenges, not the least of which is deciding on who the author was and to whom it was written: unsaved Jews, saved Jews, or a combination of both.
These were the types of challenges that John liked the most, and in this volume you will find an excellent commentary, worthy of your time, written by my friend and colleague, whom I look forward to seeing again!
Patrick E. Belvill

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Heb. 13:20-21
John Cook (1954-2012) was Vice President of Tyndale Theological Seminary and Biblical Institute and a Professor of Greek and Theology. He received his Bachelors (Dip.Th.S.), from Tyndale Biblical Institute and his Masters (M.T.S.), and Doctor of Theology (Th.D.), degrees from Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary.

Exploring the Bible: Acts
Description
The early church really was a church on the move. It was dynamic and exhilarating and there really was a sense of things happening. There were, undoubtedly, dangerous and challenging times for the early Christians, but they were exciting times as God’s Holy Spirit was at work amongst the leaders and the ordinary people. While we may look back with longing to such days, God has called us to serve him with the gospel of his grace in our own day, and we may do so with the help of such instruction as is to be found in this book.
