InterVarsity Press is proud to present The Lightfoot Legacy, a
three-volume set of previously unpublished material from J. B.
Lightfoot, one of the great biblical scholars of the modern era. In
the spring of 2013, Ben Witherington III discovered hundreds of
pages of biblical commentary by Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral
Library. While incomplete, these commentaries represent a goldmine
for historians and biblical scholars, as well as for the many
people who have found Lightfoot's work both informative and
edifying, deeply learned and pastorally sensitive. In addition to
the material on the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel of St.
John, published in volumes one and two, respectively, there were
fragments on 2 Corinthians and 1 Peter. Lightfoot was well known as
a Pauline expert given his commentaries on Galatians, Philippians,
Colossians and Philemon, and fragments of his work on Romans, 1
Corinthians, Ephesians, and 1 and 2 Thessalonians were published
posthumously. It is therefore a delight to have his notes on 2
Corinthians available for the first time. Lightfoot was also
interested in the life and work of Peter. The introduction to his
commentary on 1 Peter provides insightful analysis of the
chronology and context of the epistle. Lightfoot seeks to
demonstrate that Peter knew Paul's work and that these two great
apostles were in harmony regarding theology and ethics. Now
complete, these three commentary volumes reveal a scholar well
ahead of his time, one of the great minds of his or any generation.

of previously unpublished material from J. B. Lightfoot, one of the
great biblical scholars of the modern era. In the spring of 2013,
Ben Witherington III discovered hundreds of pages of biblical

and biblical scholars, as well as for the many people who have
found Lightfoot's work both informative and edifying, deeply
learned and pastorally sensitive. In addition to the material on
the Acts of the Apostles, published in volume one, there were
detailed notes on the Fourth Gospel, a text that Lightfoot loved
and lectured on frequently. These pages contain his commentary
notes for John 1-12. Lightfoot had long wanted to write a
commentary on the Gospel of John, but he was unable to do so due to
more pressing demands on his time, as well as his respect for his
colleague B. F. Westcott. As a result, though he continued to
compile notes on the text, they never saw the light of day until
now. Included alongside the commentary are Lightfoot's long
out-of-print essays on the historical reliability of the Fourth
Gospel. Now on display for all to see, these commentary volumes
reveal a scholar well ahead of his time, one of the great minds of
his or any generation.
Preaching's Survey of Bibles and Bible Reference InterVarsity Press
is proud to present The Lightfoot Legacy, a three-volume set of
previously unpublished material from J. B. Lightfoot, one of the
great biblical scholars of the modern era. In the spring of 2013,
Ben Witherington III discovered hundreds of pages of biblical
commentary by Lightfoot in the Durham Cathedral Library. While
incomplete, these commentaries represent a goldmine for historians
and biblical scholars, as well as for the many people who have
found Lightfoot's work both informative and edifying, deeply
learned and pastorally sensitive. Among those many pages were two
sets of lecture notes on the Acts of the Apostles. Together they
amount to a richly detailed, albeit unfinished, commentary on Acts
1-21. The project of writing a commentary on Acts had long been on
Lightfoot's mind, and in the 1880s he wrote an article about the
book for the second British edition of William Smith's Dictionary
of the Bible. Thankfully, that is not all he left behind. Now on
display for all to see, these commentary notes reveal a scholar
well ahead of his time, one of the great minds of his or any
generation. Well over a century later, The Acts of the Apostles
remains a relevant and significant resource for the church today.
1903. The present volume is a second installment of the commentary
on St. Paul's Epistles, of which the author sketched a plan in the
preface of his edition of the Galatians. At the same time, it is
intended, like its predecessor, to be complete in itself; so that
the plan, as a whole, may be interrupted at any time without
detriment to the parts. The Epistle to the Philippians presents an
easier task to an editor than almost any of St. Paul's Epistles.
The readings are for the most part obvious; and only in a few
passages does he meet with very serious difficulties of
interpretation. Lightfoot took advantage of this circumstance to
introduce some investigations bearing on St. Paul's Epistles and on
Apostolic Christianity in general.
The famous critical edition of the Apostolic Fathers edited by J.
B. Lightfoot. Texts are presented in both Greek and English, each
preceded by an introduction. A must for anyone interested in early
Christian studies.
