Digital Logos Edition
Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old and New Testament brings together commentary features rarely gathered together in one volume. It was chosen as one of 7 of the Best Exegetical Bible Commentaries by our staff, as well as Top Preaching Tools & Resources that Belong in a Pastor's Library. With careful discourse analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew and Greek text, the authors trace the flow of argument in each Bible book, showing that how a biblical author says something is just as important as what they say.
The aim of the series is not to review and critique every possible interpretation of a passage, but rather to exegete each passage of Scripture succinctly in its grammatical and historical context. Each passage is interpreted in the light of its biblical setting with attention to grammatical detail, literary context, flow of biblical argument, and historical setting. These texts are written primarily for pastors and Bible teachers, but the attention to contemporary issues in the church makes it a focused resource for anyone teaching, preaching, or studying these passages.
Each volume offers a set of distinctive features, including:
The diagram of each passage enables readers to grasp quickly and accurately the main idea of the text, its development, and supporting ideas, allowing them to understand how the commentator arrived at this depiction and interpretation of the passage.
The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary series has a special emphasis on identifying and discussing the main thrust of each passage and showing how it contributes to the development of the whole composition. Each unit concludes with a discussion of the canonical and practical significance of the passage, synthesizing its theology and message for readers today. There are many exegetical commentaries, but few accomplish what this series has achieved.
