Product Highlights
"David Garland's commentary displays a thorough command of the literature (particularly materials that illuminate the first-century background), judicious and often insightful exegesis, engagement of the heart with the text and not merely the head, and illustrations that capture the truth and convey its relevance to us here and now." The New American Commentary Series In development for over a decade, The New American Commentary series is for those who have been seeking a commentary that honors the Scriptures, represents the finest in contemporary evangelical scholarship and lends itself to practical work of preaching and teaching. This comprehensive series serves as a minister's friend and a Bible student's guide. The New American Commentary is based on the inerrancy of Scripture, focuses on the intrinsic theological and exegetical concerns of each Biblical book, and engages the range of issues raised in contemporary Biblical scholarship. Drawing on the skills and insight of over forty Bible scholars, the New American Commentary brings together scholarship and piety to produce a tool that enhances and supports the life of the church. Highlights of This Volume In 2 Corinthians the apostle Paul displays his heart as well as his theological mind as he deals with a difficult church. The nature of the Christian life and ministry surfaces here out of the crucible of suffering. Paul testifies that the glory of the cross is found not in self-exaltation but in self-emptying, not in ease but in suffering, not in advancement and recognition but in humiliation.
