The Teach the Text Commentary Series utilizes the best of biblical scholarship to provide the information a pastor needs to communicate the text effectively. The carefully selected preaching units and focused commentary allow pastors to quickly grasp the big idea and key themes of each passage of Scripture. Each unit of the commentary includes the big idea and key themes of the passage and sections dedicated to understanding, teaching, and illustrating the text.
Richard Thomas France was a New Testament scholar and Anglican cleric, and Research Fellow in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Wales, Bangor.
RT France is my favorite Bible book commentary writer and his "what does the text say" approach is always appropriate. This is the first "Teach the Text" commentary I have read and its standard approach would make it a great tool for any lay teacher. I recommend anything Dr. France wrote and this series looks to be a winner as well for teachers.
A good entry in this commentary series. I am sad that it will not be continued. I think this series would be especially helpful for a lay teacher or anyone trying to teach through this book. Your mileage may vary on how helpful it is for preachers.
