Luke 6-10 continues The MacArthur New Testament Commentary ’s look at the longest of the four Gospels. Luke is unique in its historical detail and for how it positions Jesus as the Savior-King not just of the Jews, but of all mankind. Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical. Taking into account the cultural, theological, and Old Testament contexts of each passage, MacArthur tackles interpretive challenges and fairly evaluates differing views, giving the reader confidence in his conclusions. The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk. A great resource for pastors, teachers, leaders, students, or anyone desiring to dig deeper into Scripture
John F. MacArthur, Jr. was a United States Calvinistic evangelical writer and minister, noted for his radio program entitled Grace to You and as the editor of the Gold Medallion Book Award-winning MacArthur Study Bible. MacArthur was a fifth-generation pastor, a popular author and conference speaker, and served as pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California beginning in 1969, as well as President of The Master’s College (and the related Master’s Seminary) in Santa Clarita, California.
As far as biblical accuracy and exposition of the text, this book is great. John MacArthur is one of the best Bible teachers of the century, and all his work is usually quite helpful. However, I only gave it 3 stars because I found it was quite basic. I never really encountered anything profound in this work. I use this for sermon preparation, and mostly look at the pastoral commentaries to help with some structure and outline and maybe a few helpful points or analogies, but I usually didn't get too much from J Mac. I'll still continue to use his Luke commentaries, but less frequent then I might use other pastoral commentaries like Bock's NIV Application Commentary or Kent Hughes Preach the Word. And of course J.C. Ryle.
MacArthur is always worth reading, but I especially enjoyed consulting his sermons on Luke while I was preaching through that wonderful Gospel account.
