  2. You would like to see a visual representation <\/strong>of the flow of thought in each passage.<\/li>
  3. You’d also like expert guidance <\/strong>from solid evangelical scholars. Preferably, you’d like guidance from those who set out to explain the meaning of the original text in the clearest way possible, helping you navigate through the main interpretive issues.<\/li>
  4. You’ve taken Greek!<\/strong> You love commentaries that help you apply what you have learned without assuming you are a well-trained scholar.<\/li>
  5. It would be useful to see a concise<\/strong>, one- or two- sentence statement of what the commentator thinks the main point of each passage is.<\/li>
  6. You want to benefit from the results of the latest and best scholarly studies<\/strong> and historical information. These will help to illuminate the meaning of the text.<\/li>
  7. You would find it useful to see a brief summary of the key theological insights<\/strong> that can be gleaned from each passage. Then, you would also appreciate some discussion of the relevance<\/strong> of these for Christians today.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
