New Testament Commentary

In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom.

As many already know, the Bible is our source of spiritual nourishment to help us grow as Christians. However, it seems that many of us are guilty of not reading it. Instead, we rely on our preachers and Sunday School teachers to do it for us. The sad thing is that, in a world of false teaching (which is warned about in the Bible), we may be receiving some false information and accepting it as truth. Did you know?: 88% of American households have a copy of the Bible. 37% of Americans actually read it. In a world where morals are declining, the solutions to much of it's problems can be ...

It can be argued that no book of the Bible has had a greater effect on Christianity than the book of Romans. Martin Luther described it as "the most important piece in the New Testament," and wrote; "It is well worth a Christian's while not only to memorize it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily, as though it were the daily bread of the soul." In this classic commentary by Dr. Warren Wiersbe, you can refresh your own understanding of this seminal work, Paul's masterpiece letter to the church in Rome.

The book of Revelation stands out as one of the most intriguing, yet least understood books of the Bible.

The Epistle of James is one of the most challenging letters in the New Testament. Written by the half-brother of Jesus, the Apostle James pulls no punches as he encouraged the believer to practice what he preaches. James writes with gut-level reality, and here’s why: while many of the New Testament epistles deliver what we are to believe, James declares how we should behave. In this practical volume, Stephen expounds on the truths of James and clarifies the theme of this powerful letter: our faith must be lived out!

DID YOU KNOW? The Bible was not originally divided into numbered chapters and verses. This was man-made and done for convenience of looking up and referencing passages of Scripture. Paul's letters were so passionately and beautifully written as he shared Jesus Christ with everyone who might lend an ear. Over two thousand years later and his words still ring in the truth of God. The Bible is meant to be read in its complete context so nothing is missed or mistaken. Paul's books are cohesive letters, and once you experience reading each as an actual letter without the distraction of random ...

One of the best ways to understand the Bible is to read it as a whole from the beginning to the end. The stories in the Bible are not disconnected. They form one story.

Holland walks you through all the 66 books showing you how they are all connected and lead to one person, Jesus Christ.

Acts is a book of action. But whose actions does it follow? The most obvious answer is the Apostles’. The book’s full name is the Acts of the Apostles, for it recounts their efforts to take the gospel to the nations. Yet we can also think of it as the Acts of the Holy Spirit. Poured out like a mighty rushing wind (Acts 2:2), the Spirit empowered the Apostles’ witness and opened hearts to believe. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul offers an in-depth study on the Spirit’s work through these Christians and in the growth and spread of the early church.

While our culture is effectively abandoning any remaining vestiges of biblical authority, the Church unashamedly delivers truth and hope. How is the Christian—and the local church—supposed to operate, grow, serve, and live out the Gospel? We need not guess at the answers. An inspired letter from the first century to a young pastor addressed them all . . . and the answers haven’t changed.

How to pray, how to serve, how to overcome, how to love: Jesus taught the disciples these timeless lessons through hands-on experience and powerful parables that resonated in the hearts of multitudes. Most evident in John 13-21, however, is Christ's teaching on the transforming power of joy—how to have it, hold onto it, and never let it go.

Romans chapter 9 has become a dividing point between competing theologies for years. Calvinistic authors ground much of their interpretation of the Bible and understanding of God's nature and character from this particular chapter. Christians that are unaware of the theological traps they can fall into by blindly following Calvin's theological determinism can result in a distorted view of God's nature and character. The consequence of this is surely problematic when applying a predetermined view of God to the rest of the Bible that the Scriptures simply will not support. This has at times ...
