New International Commentary: The Epistles to the Colossians, to Philemon and to the Ephesians

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Verse-by-verse commentary
  • In-depth discussion of textual and critical matters
  • Introductions to each book’s authorship, date, purpose, structure, and theology
  • Detailed bibliography

DESCRIPTION

This collection of three commentaries in one volume completes F. F. Bruce’s lifelong study of Paul’s writings. With the publication of this volume, Bruce—one of the most respected New Testament scholars in the world—finished writing commentaries on all the Pauline epistles except the Pastorals.

According to Bruce, there are important reasons for linking Colossians, Philemon, and Ephesians together in one work. The study of both Ephesians and Colossians, says Bruce, confirms his belief that Ephesians continues the line of thought followed in Colossians—in particular because it draws out the implications of Christ’s cosmic role (set forth in Colossians) for the church, which is his body. At the same time Ephesians constitutes the crown of Paulinism, gathering up the main themes of the apostle’s teaching into a unified presentation sub specie aeternitatis. The letter to Philemon, too, has a close association to Colossians, and is appropriately included in this volume.

New International Commentary: Paul’s Letter to the Philippians

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Verse-by-verse commentary
  • In-depth discussion of textual and critical matters
  • Introductions to each book’s authorship, date, purpose, structure, and theology
  • Detailed bibliography

DESCRIPTION

This commentary by respected New Testament scholar Gordon D. Fee is a scholarly yet thoroughly readable study of Paul’s letter to the suffering community of believers in Philippi.

Working directly from the Greek text but basing his comments on the New International Version, Fee sets Paul’s letter to the Philippians squarely within the context of first-century “friendship” and “moral exhortation” to a church facing opposition because of its loyalty to Jesus Christ. At the same time Fee gives equal concern to the letter’s theological and spiritual relevance.

Important features of this commentary include a remarkable comparison of Philippians to two well-known types of letters in the Greco-Roman world: the letter of friendship and the letter of moral exhortation; an introduction that discusses the occasion, authenticity, and theological contributions of Philippians; and scholarly insights that resolve many of the formal and structural issues that have long puzzled New Testament scholars.

NIV Application Commentary: Letters of John

DESCRIPTION

John weaves together themes of light and darkness, falsehood and truth, and what it means to be children of God in community. He explores the theme of love as central to God’s nature and thus as the defining characteristic of those who follow him. The Letters of John teach us about handling conflict, discerning orthodox belief, and measuring Christian conduct. Gary Burge shares perspectives on John’s letters that reveal their enduring relevance for our twenty-first-century lives.

NIV Application Commentary: Philippians

DESCRIPTION

From the Back Cover

Sprinkled with cherished and memorable verses, Paul’s letter to the Philippians is for many a favorite book of the Bible. Written from prison, it serves as Paul’s missionary report and thank you to a faithful church, as well as a warm pastoral exhortation to make the advancement of the gospel their top priority. Paul models and calls for joy in the midst of suffering, warns against dangerous false teaching, and calls for Christian unity grounded in the example of the Lord Jesus.
In a day often marked by selfish ambition, spiritual laziness, disunity, and joyless living, Philippians contains an eminently practical message for contemporary Christians. Exploring the links between the Bible and our own times, Frank Thielman skillfully draws out the timeless truths of this loving letter in a lucid and powerful way.

New International Commentary: The First and Second Epistles to the Thessalonians

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Verse-by-verse commentary
  • In-depth discussion of textual and critical matters
  • Introductions to each book’s authorship, date, purpose, structure, and theology
  • Detailed bibliography

DESCRIPTION

In this commentary Gordon Fee aims first and foremost to offer a fresh exposition of the text of 1 and 2 Thessalonians. He shows the reader what is in the biblical text, what the text meant in the first century, and what it means now. Fee reveals the logic of each argument or narrative before moving on to the details of each verse, and he concludes each section with a theological-practical reflection on the meaning of the text today. Among other things, Fee explores the occasion for writing for each epistle, restoring 2 Thessalonians to the place it deserves as a full companion to the first letter, rather than merely a tagalong to 1 Thessalonians.

IVP Bible Background Commentary, New Testament 2nd Edition

DESCRIPTION

This revised edition of the standard reference work in its field has been expanded throughout to now provide even more up-to-date information by Craig Keener, one of the leading New Testament scholars on Jewish, Greek and Roman culture.

To understand and apply the Bible well, you need two crucial sources of information. One is the Bible itself. The other is an understanding of the cultural background of the passage you’re reading.

Only with the background can you grasp the author’s original concerns and purposes. This unique commentary provides, in verse-by-verse format, the crucial cultural background you need for responsible–and richer–Bible study. It includes a glossary of cultural terms and important historical figures, maps and charts, up-to-date bibliographies, and introductory essays about cultural background information for each book of the New Testament.

Based on decades of in-depth study, this accessible and bestselling commentary is valuable for pastors in sermon preparation, for Sunday-school and other church teachers as they build lessons, for missionaries concerned not to import their own cultural biases into the Bible, for college and seminary students in classroom assignments, and for everyday Bible readers seeking to deepen and enhance their study of Scripture.

The New Testament: An Expanded Translation (Commentary style)

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.

Ieder die zijn zonden belijdt en gelooft in de Zoon en Zijn verzoeningswerk op het kruis, zal niet verloren gaan, maar ontvangt het eeuwige leven. Zo iemand is een kind van God. God vertelt Zijn kinderen in Zijn Woord hoe zij tot Zijn eer kunnen leven en alles wat Hij van plan is hun te geven, vanwege hun verbinding met Zijn Zoon.

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.

New International Commentary: The Epistles of John

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Verse-by-verse commentary
  • In-depth discussion of textual and critical matters
  • Introductions to each book’s authorship, date, purpose, structure, and theology
  • Detailed bibliography

DESCRIPTION

The three Epistles of John, according to I. Howard Marshall, are concerned with the fundamentals of Christian belief and life—faith and love. The reader who grasps the message of these short but essential letters will have a sound basis in Christian doctrine. This group of Epistles, says Marshall, is also a good starting point for the study of the Gospel of John. This important commentary, then, was written not only so that students of the Bible might master the content of John’s Epistles, but that they might come to a proper understanding of Johannine theology as a whole.

This volume includes an “invitation” to general readers and an “introduction” addressed to students and specialists. Another fresh feature is a rearrangement of the traditional order of the three letters: 2 John and 3 John are studied before 1 John. This structure assures that the two shorter letters are not relegated to the position of appendices but are treated as important documents of early Christianity in their own right.

New International Commentary: The First Epistle of Peter

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Verse-by-verse commentary
  • In-depth discussion of textual and critical matters
  • Introductions to each book’s authorship, date, purpose, structure, and theology
  • Detailed bibliography

DESCRIPTION

The First Epistle of Peter constitutes an important work of New Testament theology and pastoral care, serves as an example of how the early church applied Jesus’ sayings and the Old Testament writings to contemporary concerns, and presents some extremely useful perspectives on living the Christian life today. This commentary by Peter Davids does an excellent job of mining the rich wealth of instruction to be found in this very significant section of Scripture.

Davids’s commentary contains several notable features: a unique grasp of 1 Peter’s structure, a systematically arranged introduction that summarizes the commentary proper, a perceptive excursus on suffering in 1 Peter and the New Testament, Davids’s own study translation, thorough and incisive comments on each verse of the text, frequent parallels to ancient literature, an exceptionally clear and lively writing style, and one of the most comprehensive bibliographies on 1 Peter available anywhere.

New International Commentary: The Epistle to the Galatians

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Verse-by-verse commentary
  • In-depth discussion of textual and critical matters
  • Introductions to each book’s authorship, date, purpose, structure, and theology
  • Detailed bibliography

DESCRIPTION

This commentary by Ronald Y.K. Fung has been added to the NICNT series to address significant new questions regarding the study of Galatians that have arisen since the publication of Herman N. Ridderbos’s commentary—the original NICNT volume on Galatians—in 1953.

Begun under the mentorship of F.F. Bruce at the University of Manchester, England, Fung’s work on Galatians offers solid, reliable exposition of the text while also providing a fresh assessment of the large number of interpretive questions—past and present—raised by Paul’s letter. This work also examines Galatians specifically as Paul’s most direct defense and exposition of justification by faith, which Fung says is the central motif of Paul’s understanding of the Gospel.

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!

“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.

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.
