First let&#8217;s learn a bit about the man behind the commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-who-was-john-phillips\"><strong>1) WHO WAS JOHN PHILLIPS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Phillips was born in South Wales on February 11, 1927. He didn&#8217;t stay put there, however. He served in the British Army in Palestine, then moved to Canada, married the love of his life, and then found himself in the United States. For years he worked at Moody Bible Institute, serving as the Assistant Director of their Evening Extension School. Additionally, he directed the Emmaus Correspondence School, which was, at the time, the largest school of its kind in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this Doctor of Ministry, Phillips not only taught and organized academic study of God&#8217;s Word, but he wrote more than 50 books about the Bible, including complete sets of New Testament Commentaries, the Exploring the Bible Series and his Introducing People of the Bible Series<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This man was a dedicated, hard worker who strived to teach others about God and His Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-what-is-his-commentary-like\"><strong>2) WHAT IS HIS COMMENTARY LIKE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Olive Tree offers Phillips commentary collection that contains 27 volumes: 19 New Testament volumes and 8 Old Testament volumes. You can see the entire list by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=77386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visiting our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phillips uses the KJV translation of the Bible for all of his work, and speaks from an evangelical framework. He provides many illustrations and quotes, often applying the Bible to everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><strong>But what&#8217;s the best part of this resource?<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OUTLINES! Phillips made sure to make extensive outlines before he wrote content for his commentary. Here&#8217;s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-25-at-12.14.12-PM-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_1517.png\" alt=\"John Phillips Outline\" class=\"wp-image-46572\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does he break down large pieces of Scripture into shorter, easier-to-understand sections, but he works out of this structure through the entire commentary set. You&#8217;ll find Phillips thoughts and comments recorded in conversational sentences that make you feel as if you&#8217;re studying the Bible alongside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-25-at-12.22.53-PM-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_1518.png\" alt=\"John Phillips Commentary\" class=\"wp-image-46573\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-more\"><strong>LEARN MORE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering how commentaries work in the app, what books of the Bible are included in this set, or just want more information?
