Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary Set

Zondervan, 2002

A handy reference that is easy to use
All four books are hardcover and smith bound, measuring 8" x10". The set is a background commentary for the New Testament and includes many, many color pictures, maps, and charts (on every page there is something). Further the set is littered with interesting sidebars ...

Word Biblical Commentary Vol. 46, Pastoral Epistles

William D. Mounce

Thomas Nelson, 2000

Word Biblical Commentary: Pastoral Epistles
I had heard that this book was extremely good, and now that I have actually gotten to read some of it, I must agree wholeheartedly! Not only does Mounce go into incredible detail in discussing the Greek of the Pastoral Epistles, he shows the reader the various ...

Ephesians, Colossians, and Philemon (Interpretation, a Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching)
Ralph P. Martin

Westminster John Knox Press, 1992

Martin singles out two themes that are high on today's agenda of theological and practical inquiry and planning. These themes are the cosmic dimensions of Christological teaching and the role of the Church as God's locus and agent of reconciliation.

Dictionary of the Later New Testament & Its Developments (The IVP Bible Dictionary Series)

InterVarsity Press, 1997

A Powerful Resource for Christians Everywhere!
In every respect, Dictionary of the Later New Testament is a magnificent achievement in the study of early Christianity. It is both authoritative and scholarly and takes the study of early New Testament literature to a new level. I found the articles on Hebrews and ...

Worship in the Early Church

Ralph P. Martin

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1975

An Overly Simplistic Picture, but not a Bad Start.
Dr. Martin has provided us with a good, solid, although less than profound, primer on early Christian worship. This is the right book for high-school-age Sunday School classes, and for adults begin initial studies on the Christian liturgies. This text is ...

Word Biblical Commentary Vol. 34b, Mark 8:27-16:20 (evans)

Craig A. Evans

Thomas Nelson, 2001

Second Half of Best Mark Scholarship
I find it truly amazing that there is still so much lively discussion about a Gospel of the New Testament which has been a cornerstone of Christian faith for almost 2000 years; however, the more I study New Testament exegesis, the less I'm surprised. The thing that ...

Word Biblical Commentary Vol. 48, James

Ralph P. Martin

Thomas Nelson, 1988

Best of three Commentaries. Buy It.
`The Epistle of James' by James B. Adamson, 1976, 227 pages in the series The New International Commentary on the New Testament; `The Letter of James' by Douglas J. Moo, 2000, 271 pages, a volume in the series The Pillar New Testament Commentary; and `James' by Ralph ...

Dictionary of Paul and His Letters (The IVP Bible Dictionary Series)

Gerald F. Hawthorne, Ralph P. Martin

InterVarsity Press, 1993

Excellent Reference for Modern Pauline Scholarship.
`The Dictionary of Paul and His Letters' is a superb reference source if your primary objective is the study of Paul's writings. As a one-volume source, unlike, for example, the six volume Anchor Bible Dictionary, it is a far less expensive reference of all Pauline ...

Word Biblical Commentary Vol. 36, John (revised), (beasley-murray)

George R. Beasley-Murray

Thomas Nelson, 1999

Revised Edition Misleading
I have both the original 1987 edition and the "revised" 1999 edition. To the publishers credit, the 1999 edition does state flat out that the only thing new is 50 pages of updated bibliography and reviews of major book on the Gospel since the original publication. This ...

John, Acts: Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary

Zondervan, 2002

Bible Backgrounds Commentary Essential Historical Understanding
I had the privilege of taking a New Testament exegesis course from Clint Arnold. He's the kind of man who is always smiling and is always joyful. He's also a brilliant scholar. The Bible Backgrounds Commentary is exactly that: rather than approaching a Book of the ...

Romans, Galatians (Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary)

Zondervan, 2007

This is a softcover set that helps readers understand the historical and cultural background of the books of the New Testament. Brimming with lavish, full color photos and graphics, each book will walk you verse by verse through the books of the New Testament.

Reconciliation
