I led a Bible study on the Book of Joshua. I used this and another commentary to structure the study. I found study questions online from this author that follow the commentary beautifully.
Over nine weeks our group worked our way through the whole book of Joshua and discussed in depth. This author not only gives a wealth of information to explain the scripture, but cites many old testament scripture and some new testament text that brings this book to life.
He has life application questions that hit home and provided our very Biblical knowledgeable group much new insight and our discussions were so lively and tremendously deep as we wrestled with truly understanding God's word and what He needed to reveal to each one of us week after week.
We enjoyed Joshua so much that we are moving onto the book of Judges and using this author's commentary as the base again for our discussion.
Very biblically sound commentary for faiths that believe the Bible is truly the inspired word of God.
