Description

The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture does what very few of today's students of the Bible could do for themselves. With the aid of computer technology, the vast array of writings from the church fathers—including much that is available only in the ancient languages—have been combed for their comment on Scripture. From these results, scholars with a deep knowledge of the fathers and a heart for the church have hand-selected material for each volume, shaping, annotating and introducing it to today's readers. Each portion of commentary has been chosen for its salient insight, its rhetorical power and its faithful representation of the consensual exegesis of the early church.

The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture is an ecumenical project, promoting a vital link of communication between the varied Christian traditions of today and their common ancient ancestors in the faith. On this shared ground, we listen as leading pastoral theologians of seven centuries gather around the text of Scripture and offer their best theological, spiritual and pastoral insights.

Today the historical-critical method of interpretation has nearly exhausted its claim on the biblical text and on the church. In its wake there is a widespread yearning among Christian individuals and communities for the wholesome, the deep and the enduring. The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture does not seek to replace those excellent commentaries that have been produced in the twentieth century. Rather, it supplements them, framing them with interpretive voices that have long sustained the church and only recently have fallen silent. It invites us to listen with appreciative ears and sympathetic minds as our ancient ancestors in the faith describe and interpret the scriptural vistas as they see them.

The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture is a postcritical revival of the early commentary tradition known as the glossa ordinaria, a text artfully elaborated with ancient and authoritative reflections and insights. An uncommon companion for theological interpretation, spiritual reading, and wholesome teaching and preaching.

About the Genesis 1-11 volume:

The rich tapestry of the creation narrative in the early chapters of Genesis proved irresistible to the thoughtful, reflective minds of the church fathers. Within them they found the beginning threads from which to weave a theology of creation, fall and redemption. Following their mentor, the apostle Paul, they explored the profound significance of Adam as a type of Christ, the second Adam. The six days of creation proved especially attractive among the fathers as a subject for commentary, with Basil the Great and Ambrose producing well-known Hexaemerons. Similarly, Augustine devoted portions of five works to the first chapter of Genesis. As in previous volumes within the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, the range of comment contained in Genesis 1-11 spans from the first century to the eighth, from East to West, and from Greek and Latin speakers to Syriac. Especially helpful in this volume is editor Andrew Louth's supply of Septuagintal alternative readings to the Masoretic text, which are often necessary to understanding the fathers' flow of thought. Genesis 1-11 opens up a treasure house of ancient wisdom,allowing these faithful witnesses, some appearing here in English translation for the first time, to speak with eloquence and intellectual acumen to the church today.

About the Genesis 12-50 volume:

Genesis 12-50 recounts the history of the patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. From their mentors Paul, Peter, Stephen and the author of the letter to the Hebrews, the early fathers learned to draw out the spiritual significance of the patriarchal narrative for Christian believers. The Alexandrian school especially followed Paul's allegorical use of the story of Sarah and Hagar as they interpreted the Genesis accounts. The Antiochene school eschewed allegorical interpretation but still set about to find moral lessons in the ancient narrative. For all of them the events pointed toward the promises of the age to come, the new age revealed in the resurrection of Jesus.Among the principal Greek-speaking commentators included within this volume, you will find Origen, Didymus the Blind, John Chrysostom and Cyril of Alexandria. Among the Latin-speaking interpreters you will find Ambrose of Milan, Augusstine of Hippo, Caesarius of Arles and Bede the Venerable. Ephrem the Syrian is the most commonly cited Syriac-speaking interpreter, while the fifth-century Catena on Genesis provides access to such fathers as Eusebius of Caesarea, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, Didymus of Alexandria, Epiphanius of Salamis, Irenaeus of Lyons, Eusebius of Emesa, Severian of Gabala and Theodore of Mopsuestia among others.

"Nowhere are we closer to Paul's mind than when he's talking to Timothy. These words were to shape Timothy's life and ministry— and they should shape ours too."

Join Phillip Jensen as he opens up Paul's first and second letters to Timothy, helping you get to grips with its meaning and showing how it transforms our hearts and lives today.

Paul is reaching the end of his ministry. Timothy needs help in his. And so the apostle writes to his young friend and protege, urging him to guard the gospel, preach the gospel, and live the gospel.

Phillip Jensen opens up these letters for us, calling readers to do just what Timothy did—to love Christ and teach truth in our generation, and to teach others to do the same.

This accessible, absorbing expository guide opens up this book for new and mature Christians alike. It is more applied than a typical commentary, making it a great resource for personal devotion, as well as useful for leading small group studies or sermon preparation.

You can read through this book as a normal book...work through it as part of your daily Bible-reading routine using the questions for reflection at the end of each chapter...or use it to help you teach this book of the Bible, whether in small groups or from the pulpit.

Description

The scope of 1 Corinthians is breathtaking. Paul tackles a huge variety of subjects, and as he does so, he gives us a precious insight into what a local church is (or at least can be).

As Andrew Wilson walks through this compelling, challenging epistle, you'll see how grace looks in every Christian and how it can shape every church—even a church as flawed as the Corinthian one.

This expository guide is less academic than a traditional commentary and includes lots of application. It can be read from cover to cover, used in personal devotions, used to lead small group studies, or used for sermon preparation.

You can read through this book as a normal book...work through it as part of your daily Bible-reading routine using the questions for reflection at the end of each chapter...or use it to help you teach this book of the Bible, whether in small groups or from the pulpit.

Description

"This is one of the rare commentaries that both expounds the Bible accurately and applies it tellingly. It is all the more important because through his letter, Peter speaks to the Western church today." — D.A. Carson

Join Juan Sanchez as he opens up the book of 1 Peter, helping you get to grips with its meaning and showing how it transforms our hearts and lives today.

The book of 1 Peter could have been written for our times—a time of antagonism toward biblical ethics, and the marginalization of biblical Christians. Into that culture—our culture—Peter speaks of hope and offers joy as he points believers home to heaven.

Juan Sanchez brings his experience of ministry in the US and Latin America, and his pastoral wisdom and insight, to this wonderful epistle—an epistle that every Christian needs to treasure today.

You can read through this book as a normal book...work through it as part of your daily Bible-reading routine using the questions for reflection at the end of each chapter...or use it to help you teach this book of the Bible, whether in small groups or from the pulpit.

Written for people of every age and stage, from enquirers to new believers to pastors and teachers, this flexible resource is for you to:

  • READ: As a guide to these gripping events, helping you to see Christ and marvel at God's power, plans and love.
  • FEED: As a daily devotional to help you grow in Christ as you read and meditate on this portion of God's word.
  • LEAD: As notes to aid you in explaining, illustrating and applying this book as you preach or lead a Bible study.

Whoever you are, and however you use it, this is...1 Peter for You.


Commendations

Expositions that simultaneously expound a biblical text accurately and apply it to the target audience tellingly are rare. This is one of the rare ones. It is all the more important because through it Peter speaks to the Western church in the twenty-first century: God is preparing his people for the privilege of suffering service in the light of the grace that has been revealed in Christ Jesus and of the glory that is yet to come. — D.A. Carson, Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Wheaton; President of The Gospel Coalition

Description

"As we read the book of 1 Samuel, we see Jesus Christ with fresh colour and texture. And we see what it means for his people to follow him as King in an age that worships personal freedom."

Join Dr. Tim Chester as he opens up the book of 1 Samuel, helping you get to grips with its meaning and showing how it transforms our hearts and lives today.

1 Samuel is a book of barrenness and battles, kings and schemes, shepherds and giants. It recounts the history of Israel as it moved from no king, to the king it demanded, to the king God knew his people needed.

But its greatest excitement lies not in the events and characters, but in the person they all point to. 1 Samuel presents us with a wonderful picture of Jesus. Seeing him in and through this Old Testament book enables us to see him with fresh color and texture, and see afresh what it means for us to follow him today as our Ruler and Rescuer. 1 Samuel is a book about ancient times that speaks directly into ours.

You can read through this book as a normal book...work through it as part of your daily Bible-reading routine using the questions for reflection at the end of each chapter...or use it to help you teach this book of the Bible, whether in small groups or from the pulpit.

Written for people of every age and stage, from enquirers to new believers to pastors and teachers, this flexible resource is for you to:

Description

When friends, family members, and even respected church leaders fall away from the faith, it is deeply sad and painful. But the reality is that we are all tempted to compromise our faith in one way or another. We all need to be careful not to fall.

Peter and Jude knew that first-hand. They wrote with a sense of urgency, showing a deep concern for the believers they were addressing. Their aim? To help their readers stand firm.

Verse by verse, pastor Miguel Núñez unpacks these two short letters, showing how they are still utterly relevant to us today—warning us where we may be in danger of stumbling and equipping us to stand firm in our faith.

This expository guide is less academic than a traditional commentary and includes lots of application. It can be read from cover to cover, used in personal devotions, or referred to as a resource for leading small groups or preparing sermons.

Written for people of every age and stage, from enquirers to new believers to pastors and teachers, this flexible resource is for you to:

  • READ: As a guide to these gripping events, helping you to see Christ and marvel at God's power, plans and love.
  • FEED: As a daily devotional to help you grow in Christ as you read and meditate on this portion of God's word.
  • LEAD: As notes to aid you in explaining, illustrating and applying this book as you preach or lead a Bible study.

Dr Miguel Núñez is pastor of the International Baptist Church in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, a council member of The Gospel Coalition, Associate Professor of Pastoral Leadership at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the author of several books.

"Peace. Provision. Forgiveness. Yet who can truly be relied upon to deliver them? Paul shows how these can only come through Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God.

Join Mark Meynell as he unpacks Colossians and Philemon, and shows how to place our Christian confidence in the right place: the eternal Son of God, who died for us and reigns forever.

"Colossians and Philemon for You does a great job of bridging the gap between first-century Colossae and our world today. It makes God's word clear, but more than that, it reveals its relevance. This is a word for our age, and Mark Meynell has done a fine job of showing that in an engaging and compelling way." — Tim Chester, Pastor of Grace Church, Boroughbridge, in North Yorkshire, faculty member of Crosslands Training and author of Enjoying God.

Ephesians is packed with stunning passages. Each part yields fresh treasures. Digging them up will enrich your life and increase your confidence in sharing the gospel."

Join Richard Coekin as he opens up the book of Ephesians, helping you get to grips with its meaning and showing how it transforms our hearts and lives today.

In a world where Christianity seems increasingly sidelined and even irrelevant, we need to grasp the truths of this faith-affirming, life-changing letter. Ephesians For You helps readers see how being "in Christ" changes everything—our view of ourselves, our world, our future, our church, homes and workplaces.

Richard Coekin, author of A Few Good Men and Our Father, brings his trademark clear teaching and challenging application to every page.

Reviews

"This book on Ephesians is a must-read. Richard has been grappling with this great epistle for some time in his preaching and now, in this commentary, has distilled the spectacular message of Ephesians. I thoroughly recommend it." — Phillip Jensen, Ex-Dean of Sydney Cathedral; founder of Two Ways Ministries

"Of the writing of commentaries there is no end, but few are the commentaries that are simultaneously careful with the text, yet cast at the level of popular exposition—and this one is among the very best. It is a book you can recommend with confidence to just about anyone, for Richard Coekin manages to bring together an appropriate attention to detail, good writing, the sweep of the argument, and clear-sighted vision as to how this part of the Bible must work out in our lives." — D.A. Carson. Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Wheaton; President of The Gospel Coalition

Description

Isaiah can seem intimidating. It's a big book covering an extended timescale, full of unfamiliar names and places. You may be familiar with Isaiah's vision of God's holiness in chapter 6 or his description of the cross in chapter 53. But large sections can feel like alien territory.

But the book of Isaiah is full of good news. Forming a kind of bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament, Isaiah enlarges our view of God, sharpens our understanding of salvation, and illuminates our Bible reading. It points forward to Jesus and fuels our vision for the church and our mission. This is good news worth shouting about!

This expository guide by pastor and author Tim Chester takes you verse by verse through the text in a digestible and applied way. Each chapter focuses on a key text and shows how its themes play out in the surrounding passages, helping you to drill down into the details while also seeing the big picture. You'll find ideas and challenges for application throughout, plus a helpful glossary at the back.

It is less academic than a traditional commentary and includes lots of application. It can be read from cover to cover, used in personal devotions, used to lead small group studies, or used for sermon preparation.

Moore, President of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission

"Sam Allberry shows with his characteristic candor and empathy how God's wisdom lands in our living rooms, board rooms, and churches. The ways in which Allberry highlights the clarity, unity, and simplicity of the book of James are truly enjoyable. His illustrations will stay with me for a long time." — Gloria Furman, Author of Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full and The Pastor's Wife

"Micah is a passionate plea for justice and mercy, and Stephen Um Shows how it speaks to our broken generation. A very helpful commentary from an expert Bible teacher." - D.A. Carson

Join Dr. Stephen Um as he opens up Micah, helping you get to grips with its meaning and showing how it transforms our hearts and lives today.

We live in a world that craves justice. But what transforms us to truly seek justice, even at cost to ourselves? And what enables us to do so in a way that also offers mercy?

Stephen Um opens up the book of Micah, showing how God’s call to his people then is God’s call to his people now—a call to so enjoy the gospel that we are freed to seek true justice and offer real mercy. This minor prophet is a voice for our times.

This Expository Guide takes you verse by verse through the text in an accessible and applied way. It is less academic than a traditional commentary and can be read cover-to-cover, used in personal devotions, used to lead small group studies, or used for sermon preparation.

Written for people of every age and stage, from enquirers to new believers to pastors and teachers, this flexible resource is for you to:

  • READ: As a guide to these gripping events, helping you to see Christ and marvel at God's power, plans and love.
  • FEED: As a daily devotional to help you grow in Christ as you read and meditate on this portion of God's word.
  • LEAD: As notes to aid you in explaining, illustrating and applying this book as you preach or lead a Bible study.

Whoever you are, and however you use it, this is...Micah for You.


Review

Micah for You is a very helpful lay commentary written by an experienced and expert Bible teacher. Stephen Um takes you through the argument of this reforming prophet, not only making sense of the flow of the book but expertly unpacking the nature of sin and idolatry, the threat of judgment, and the need for hope. Micah is well known for his passionate plea for justice and integrity, and through Dr. Um's exposition Micah, though long dead, still speaks to our broken generation. Particularly helpful are the ways in which Dr. Um draws carefully thought-through connections between this prophet in ancient Israel and the Lord Jesus Christ and his gospel. — D.A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Illinois; President, The Gospel Coalition
Stephen Um (PhD, University of St. Andrews) is the Senior Minister of Citylife Church in Boston, Massachusetts. He also teaches New Testament at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and serves as Associate Training Director with Redeemer City to City.

Description

Christopher Ash shows us how to read and apply the book of Psalms. He takes us through 15 pairs of psalms that represent various ‘types’—including some that are very familiar and some that are often ignored.

He helps us to see how they are fulfilled by Jesus and therefore point to Jesus first and foremost, transforming how we read them, enjoy them and sing them.

Christopher Ash comments that this understanding of the Psalms "can shape the dynamics of our Christian lives in ways that neither a dry and arid intellectualism nor a rootless emotionalism can do. The Psalms can make us Christians with deep feelings, deep emotions, deep thoughts, and deep desires."

You can read through this book as a normal book...work through it as part of your daily Bible-reading routine using the questions for reflection at the end of each chapter...or use it to help you teach this book of the Bible, whether in small groups or from the pulpit.

Written for people of every age and stage, from enquirers to new believers to pastors and teachers, this flexible resource is for you to:
