Product Highlights
"A solid contribution to the field....Preachers looking for a contemporary one-volume biblical commentary will greet the Baker Commentary on the Bible with enthusiasm. " "[A] well-designed and readable commentary....One-volume commentaries are essential to basic and advanced reference libraries." "People in the pews as well as pastors are those to whom this large one-volume commentary of the Bible is addressed....Worthy of serious study." Laypeople, students, Bible teachers, pastors - anyone who wants reliable commentary to help them better understand the Bible - will value the Baker Commentary on the Bible. This accessible one-volume commentary uses the popular NIV as the basis for its comments. This work does more than offer comments, outlines, and introductions to the sixty-six biblical books. Whenever appropriate it includes an extended discussion of such key biblical doctrines as redemption, sanctification, and resurrection. Time lines and maps illustrate the text, and applications provide spiritual and personal guidance for the contemporary reader. All Hebrew and Greek words are transliterated. Though the Baker Commentary on the Bible showcases thirty-eight of the finest American evangelical scholars, each contributor presents the fruit of his study in simple and clear language. The commentary's purpose, writes the editor, is to 'help the average reader of the Bible understand what the text says.' This up-to-date commentary is an ideal reference work for those wanting a reliable and readable interpretation of even the most difficult Bible passages. About the Editor Walter A. Elwell was born April 29, 1937, in Miami, Florida. He earned a B.A. and M.A. from Wheaton College. Elwell then attended the University of Chicago and University of Tubingen before earning his Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh.
