The Understanding the Bible Commentary Series helps readers navigate the strange and sometimes intimidating literary terrain of the Bible. These accessible volumes break down the barriers between the ancient and modern worlds so that the power and meaning of the biblical texts become transparent to contemporary readers. The contributors tackle the task of interpretation using the full range of critical methodologies and practices, yet they do so as people of faith who hold the text in the highest regard. Pastors, teachers, and lay people alike will cherish the truth found in this commentary series.
I like the understanding the Bible series, as it provides good insights on many sections of the relevant commentary. The headings and verse sections outlines are helpful and the writer backs up thoughts and ideas from other connected verses in the Bible. You may not see eye to eye with everything the writer writes or suggests, but the book is simple to read, follow and understand the concepts, especially the vital parts that form the basis of Christianity. I would recommend this book, especially this series to anyone with a keen interest in studying the Word.
