In his perceptive commentary, a part of the Daily Study Bible series, David F. Payne helps readers see the importance of this pivotal biblical book and guides them in applying its message to today's world.
Carrying forward brilliantly the pattern established by Barclay's New Testament series, the Daily Study Bible has been extended to cover the entire Old Testament as well. Invaluable for individual devotional study, for group discussion, and for classroom use, the Daily Study Bible provides a useful, reliable, and eminently readable way to discover what the Scriptures were saying then and what God is saying today.
David F. Payne served as Senior Lecturer in Semitic Studies at Queen's University of Belfast and Academic Dean of London Bible College. He is the author of several books and articles on the Old Testament.
After spending a year with William Barclay, David Payne is a bit of a let-down. To his credit, he does point out the cultural and historic context, but not to the standard that I've become accustomed. I believe there is more available documentation online than this volume provides for today's reader.
