Continuing a Gold Medallion Award-winning legacy, this completely
revised edition of The Expositor s Bible Commentary series puts
world-class biblical scholarship in your hands. Based on the
original twelve-volume set that has become a staple in college and
seminary libraries and pastors studies worldwide, this new
thirteen-volume edition marshals the most current evangelical
scholarship and resources. Of the fifty-six contributors, thirty of
them are new. Reflecting the commentary s international and
cross-denominational approach, they come from the United States,
Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand, and from a
broad diversity of churches, including Anglican, Baptist, Brethren,
Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, and Reformed. The Expositor s
Bible Commentary uses the complete New International Version for
its English text, but also refers freely to other translations and
to the original languages. The thoroughly revised features consist
of: Comprehensive introductions A short and precise bibliography A
detailed outline Insightful exposition of passages and verses
Overviews of sections of Scripture to illumine the big picture
Occasional reflections to give more detail on important issues
Notes on textual questions and special problems, placed close to
the text in question Transliterations and translation of Hebrew and
Greek words, enabling readers to understand even the more technical
notes A balanced and respectful approach toward marked differences
of opinion"
This collection of essays is committed to the belief that
evangelicalism continues to have the historical assets and
intellectual (hermeneutical and theological) tools able to
contribute to the global church. Evangelicalism possesses assets
with explanatory power to address significant theological and
cultural issues arising out of the churches in the Global South.
Evangelical approaches to contextualization and biblical studies
can produce valuable fruit. Therefore in May 2008 over a dozen
evangelical scholars (Chinese and Western) from the United States,
Hong Kong and Taiwan, came together to address issues of Christian
and evangelical identity. The Inter-Cultural Theological
Conversation was titled Beyond Our Past: Bible, Cultural Identity,
and the Global Evangelical Movement. This collection of papers from
the conference demonstrates the value of the careful balancing of
judicious appropriation of the social sciences and thorough
biblical inquiry. Questions of evangelical identity in China and
around the world are addressed from the disciplines of history,
biblical studies, and systematic theology/contextualization.
This series is designed for those who know biblical languages. It
is written primarily for the pastor and Bible teacher, not for the
scholar. That is, the aim is not to review and offer a critique of
every possible interpretation that has ever been given to a
passage, but to exegete each passage of Scripture succinctly in its
grammatical and historical context. Each passage is interpreted in
the light of its biblical setting, with a view to grammatical
detail, literary context, flow of biblical argument, and historical
setting. While the focus will not be on application, it is expected
that the authors will offer suggestions as to the direction in
which application can flow.
