| This highly readable series of commentaries is for all who seek to
understand the original message of the Scripture and its meaning for today.
Sunday school teachers, Bible study leaders, and other persons interested in
careful Bible study will find the explanatory essays for each section of
Scripture helpful.
Two focused articles at the end of each chapter, The Text in biblical
Context and The Text in the Life of the Church, are unique
features of the series.
Especially in the latter, believers church perspectives come through clearly.
These include believers baptism, commitment to the Rule of Christ (Matthew
18:15-20) as central to church membership, belief in the power of love in all
relationships, and a willingness to follow the way of the cross of Christ.
The series is based on the conviction that God still speaks to all who
will listen, and that the Holy Spirit makes the Word a living and
authoritative guide for all who want to know and do God's will. |
