Book Of Jeremiah- The

J.A. Thompson's commentary on Jeremiah is one of the most thorough commentaries available for this important book. Init- he discusses issues such as Jeremiahs role as a prophet of Israel- issues with exegesis of the book- the historical setting- the life of Jeremiah- and of course- the book itself. With over 600 pages of commentary- Thompson gives the reader a complete picture of Jeremiah-makin…

Book Of Isaiah- Chapters 1-39- The

Oswalt's study on the first 39 chapters of the Book of Isaiah is part of The New International Commentary on the Old Testament. Like its companion series on the New Testament- this commentary devotes considerable care to achieving a balance between technical information and homiletic-devotional interpretation.

Book Of Genesis- Chapters 1–17- The

“In the Old Testament we read God’s word as it was spoken to his people Israel. Today- thousands of years later- we hear in these thirty-nine books his inspired and authoritative message for us.”These twin convictions- shared by all of the contributors to The New International Commentary on the Old Testament- define the goal of this ambitious series of commentaries. For those many modern …

Book Of Ezekiel- Chapters 25-48- The

This work completes Daniel Block's two-volume commentary on the book of Ezekiel. The result of twelve years of studying this difficult section of Scripture- this volume- like the one on chapters 1-24- provides an excellent discussion of the background of Ezekiel and offers a verse-by-verse exposition that makes clear the message of this obscure and often misunderstood prophet. Block also shows …

Book Of Ecclesiastes- The

Ecclesiastes is one of the most fascinating -- and hauntingly familiar -- books of the Old Testament. The sentiments of the main speaker of the book- a person given the name Qohelet- sound incredibly modern. Expressing the uncertainty and anxieties of our own age- he is driven by the question- "Where can we find meaning in the world?" But while Qohelet's question resonates with readers today- h…

Song Of Songs

Richard Hess has written an insightful commentary on one of the most intriguing books of the Bible- which celebrates God's gift of love. Following an introduction to the biblical book and a history of its interpretation- Hess divides his discussion into seven major sections. Each section begins with a fresh translation- followed by paragraph-by-paragraph commentary- and concluding with a summar…

Proverbs

What is wisdom? Does occupying the top of life’s heap mean you have it? Does being near the bottom mean you don’t? Wisdom can certainly help you acquire wealth- influence people- or succeed at your career- yet it involves more than knowledge alone. It’s also a matter of understanding God’s perspectives in applying what you know and having the character to act accordingly. That is why tr…

Judges and Ruth

The concept of judgment is at odds with today s culture- which considers it a sin to suggest there is such a thing as sin. Perhaps that is partly because we have seen all too clearly the fallibility of those who judge. What many of us long for is not judgment but righteousness and deliverance from oppression. That is why the books of Judges and Ruth are so relevant today: Judges- because it rev…

Joel- Obadiah- Malachi

These three short prophetic books of the Old Testament each contain a dual message. On one hand are messages of impending judgment—for all peoples on the Day of the Lord- for an enemy of Israel- and for Israel herself. On the other hand are messages of great hope—of the pouring out of God’s Spirit- of restoration and renewal- and of a coming Messiah. Placing judgment and hope together i…
