At last, here is a Bible commentary that is packed with important information and yet is easy to read! The author has gathered vast amounts of material from the best of ancient and modern commentators. He has also brought in much information from other current writers. In addition, since the author lived and ministered in Israel for sixteen years he has supplied much needed information from the Holy Land setting of this gospel. Indeed, the reader of this commentary will find that it has a distinct “Israel flavor” unlike most other books of its kind on the market. Since the author has utilized an abundance of quotes from scholars of many different backgrounds, it may be less likely that the reader will need to consult stacks of other materials in preparation for Bible study teaching or preaching.
