Applied New Testament Bible Commentary

by Thomas Hale, Steve Thorson

The wisdom found in God's Word is timeless, as relevant today as when it was first written. And the challenge for believers remains unchanged: how do we apply these truths to our everyday world?

The Applied Commentary series is a fresh approach to Bible study, connecting great wisdom with your life today. Each Scripture passage is enhanced with insights on key themes and ideas. Featured articles provide a deeper look at essential concepts, while the contemporary language allows for easy reading. And because some subjects are open to interpretation for discussion, we've included perspectives from leading theologians from all backgrounds and denominations. The result?

An interactive approach to Scripture that will challenge your ideas and build your faith—which is what reading the Bible is all about.

About the author

Also publishes as Tom Hale.

In 1970, Thomas Hale and his wife, Cynthia, went to Nepal to work for their first twelve years at a rural mission hospital in the village of Amp Pipal. Subsequently they moved to Kathmandu, Nepal's capital city, where they have continued their work with the mission. Recently Cynthia took a position as an associate professor at Nepal's only medical school, and Tom has written a one-volume commentary on the New Testament, first in Nepali and subsequently in English for translation into other languages.

Reviews

I love the accessibility of this commentary. It is written to address the kinds of questions that anyone who is reading the text closely is asking. Certainly it addressees the kind of questions that 7 ask of the text in order to be able to understand it.

I really like the backstory and spirit of this commentary series. Tom Hale was a medical missionary in the Philippines and realized the need for a simple commentary. This series doesn’t deal with minor or obscure points, but does a good job of grasping the essence of each passage. Highly recommended.
