Copy Excerpt:
The path He walked.
The road we travel.
The destination is the same.
Make the truths of ancient scripture live today.
For first-century Christians, Scriptures overflowed with importance and significance. But as a modern-day church leader you're faced with an awesome task: Making those 2,000-year-old lessons relevant to a congregation that finds their meaning unclear, or unimportant.
The NIV Application Commentary Series can help.
Unlike other Bible commentaries that take readers back to the ancient world of the Scripture, The NIV Application Commentary Series brings ancient lessons forward into a modern context. Authored by respected Biblical scholars, each volume masterfully explains the text's original meaning, as well as its cultural, historical, archeological and literary background. Then, the author builds a bridge that spans the gap between the ancient worlds of the gospel and the modern world of today. And finally, the text's significance is applied to our contemporary lives.
Authored by respected Biblical scholars
Authors of The NIV Application Commentary Series are affiliated with well-respected, evangelical seminaries and colleges. In creating each
volume, they avoid trendy applications so specific that the commentary becomes outdated. Conversely, they avoid overly general applications
that fail to engage contemporary life and culture. These volumes don't spoon-feed you canned sermons that are irrelevant to your congregation,
nor do they co-opt the Bible teacher's creativity. Instead, The NIV Application Commentary Series demonstrates the skills of application by
providing tools, ideas, and insights to help you communicate God's Word with power.
