1 and 2 Thessalonians

The NIV Application Commentary, New Testament #13

by Michael W. Holmes

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into a modern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it can speak powerfully today.

¡Gran recurso!

Very Dry, Uninspired

I've read 4 other NIV Commentaries, all of which were great. This one, however, is dry and difficult to get through.

Eye-opening.

An ok commentary

Ya se está haciendo una rutina en mi vida estudiar comentario bíblicos sobre las últimas cartas del Nuevo Testamento. Este estudio, en concreto, me ha gustado porque de cada capítulo de las epístolas hace una división en apartados: primero explica el texto en sí, yendo al original y al contexto; despúes "construye puentes" reflexionando sobre cómo podemos aplicar esas palabras a la vida actual; y finalmente le da un significado contemporáneo al capítulo. Lo considero completo y útil.
