This commentary series is established on the presupposition that the theological character of the New Testament documents calls for exegesis that is sensitive to theological themes as well as to the details of the historical, linguistic, and textual context. Such thorough exegetical work lies at the heart of these volumes, which contain detailed verse-by-verse commentary preceded by general comments on each section and subsection of the text.
The Bible in the English language is among the great achievements of all time, not only as a masterpiece of inspired writing but as a witness to the place of the Scriptures in the life of the English-speaking peoples, and Bruce's work, recognised for 30 years as the best on its subject, documents its history and shows the impact of some of the translations on the use and development of the English language. Formerly The English Bible, this comprehensive study of the various English translations of the Bible is again available in paperback. The author traces the story from the earliest partial translations in Saxon times, through Wycliffe, Tyndale and The King James Version, to the publication of such contemporary versions as The New English Bible, The New American Standard Version, The Living Bible, and The Good News Bible. Authoritative and highly readable, this remains one of the standard works on its subject.
Are the New Testament documents reliable? Can we have confidence in their record of the life and teaching of Jesus and his followers? Such questions are fundamental for anyone approaching the New Testament. F F Bruce, formerly Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester, was well qualified to answer them. This classic treatment has been revised by the author many times and reprinted regularly for more than half a century.

El descubrimiento de los primeros siete rollos de 'Manuscritos del Mar Muerto' o 'Rollos de Qumram' hecho por Jum'a y su primo Mohammed ed-Dhib, dos pastores beduinos de la tribu Ta'amireh, en una cueva a orillas del Mar Muerto en 1947, pusieron en marcha una revolucion en la investigacion del texto biblico y en nuestra comprension de los origenes del cristianismo, que hoy en dia, a comienzos del Siglo XXI, ningun teologo serio se atreve a cuestionar. Este conjunto de manuscritos judios, escritos en hebreo y arameo entre los anos 150 a.C al 70 d.C., y descubiertos progresivamente a lo largo de los ultimos cincuenta anos en once cuevas, alcanza ya la cifra de 900. Incluyen los libros del Tanaj o A.T. excepto el libro de Ester; los llamados Deuterocanonicos; comentarios a cada uno de los libros del A.T.; las reglas, manuales y oraciones de la Comunidad; y otros textos diversos del periodo intertestamentario, como el Libro de Enoc, El Testamento de los Doce Patriarcas, El Libro de los Jubileos, etc. Los interrogantes que este descubrimiento plantea, en lo que hace referencia al A.T. como al N.T. son tan fascinantes como importantes: Respecto al Antiguo Testamento: Como encajan estos antiguos manuscritos biblicos con los que ya conociamos y en los que se basa el texto de nuestras versiones de la Biblia? Nos permiten introducir correcciones a gran escala en los manuscritos masoreticos? Por que no se ha encontrado entre ellos el libro de Ester? Respecto el Nuevo Testamento: Hasta donde llegan los antecedentes teologicos y los paralelismos entre algunas ensenanzas de esos Manuscritos y las del Nuevo Testamento? Hubo realmente una colaboracion entre cristianos y esenios durante un periodo determinado y luego se separaron? Estuvo Pablo con los esenios de Damasco cuando escribe fui a la region de Arabia (o Desierto), de donde luego regrese a Damasco (Ga. 1:17)? Esta obra da respuesta a estas y otras muchas incognitas son las que tratan de aclarar F.F. Bruce y Florentino Garcia en este libro reflexivo, divulgativo y actual, sobre los Manuscritos del Mar Muerto y Qumran, estructurado en once capitulos y un apendice de actualizacion."

G. H. Lang was a remarkable Bible teacher, preacher and writer of a past generation who should not be forgotten by today's Christians. He inherited the spiritual "mantle" of such giants in the faith as George Muller, Anthony Norris Groves and other notable saints among the early Brethren movement. He traveled all over the world with no fixed means of support other than prayer and faith and no church or other organization to depend on. Like Mr. Muller before him, he told his needs to no one but God. Many times his faith was tried to the limit, as funds for the next part of his journey arrived only at the last minute and from unexpected sources. This autobiography traces in precise detail the dealings of God with his soul, from the day of his conversion at the tender age of seven, through the twilight years when bodily infirmity restricted most of his former activities. You will be amazed, as you read these pages, to see how quickly and continually a soul can grow in grace and in the knowledge of spiritual things if they will wholly follow the Lord. Horace Bushnell once wrote that every man's life is a plan of God, and that it's our duty as human beings to find and follow that plan. As Mr. Lang looks back over his long and varied life in the pages of this book, he frequently points out the many times God prepared him in the present for some future work or role. Spiritual life applications abound throughout the book, making it not just a life story but a spiritual training manual of sorts. Preachers will find sermon starters and illustrations in every chapter. Readers of all kinds will benefit from this close-up view of the dealings of God with the soul of one who made it his life's business to follow the Lamb wherever He should lead.
