- Presents expository commentary on the biblical text from a perspective that is broadly within the Reformed tradition
- Emphasizes a globally-aware viewpoint
- Places a priority on efficiency and conciseness in commentary writing
Top Highlights
“In one sentence the theological message of 1 Corinthians is that the gospel requires God’s holy people to mature in purity and unity. What follows unpacks this sentence in three steps.” (Page 213)
“Love is not a spiritual gift. It is essential for using spiritual gifts, and it is more important than spiritual gifts.” (Page 343)
“Even though Paul is underscoring the importance of faith, not self-justifying works, the metaphor for faith he uses—walking in footsteps—implies a life of ongoing and costly commitment, not a one-and-done mental gesture. In no way is Paul presenting an easy believism in which obedience to God and performance of good works are irrelevant. For Jew and Gentile alike the point is for the gospel to unleash the energy of God’s love in the lives of the formerly ungodly: ‘In Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love’ (Gal. 5:6).” (Page 79)
“Paul is saying that true Christians do not engage those who are antagonistic to the gospel on their own terms, playing by their rules, boasting of what is outwardly impressive—as is so natural to our fallen intuitions. Rather, our weapons ‘have divine power to destroy strongholds.’” (Page 523)
“They are set free from the law’s death sentence by acknowledging their sin and seeking their righteousness not in the law but in the one who fulfilled the law’s requirement on their behalf.” (Page 120)
The ESV Expository Commentary series will be a welcome addition to the toolbox of those who are committed to expounding the inerrant and infallible Word of God. It is biblically sound, theologically faithful, and practically helpful. I look forward to using it in my own preaching and teaching ministry.
—Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
The ESV Expository Commentary series is one of the best, most useful building blocks for a Bible teacher’s basic library. Readily accessible to lay readers and at the same time sufficiently learned to assist experienced expositors, this twelve-volume set seems destined to become a standard Bible reference tool for serious students of Scripture around the world.
—Philip Graham Ryken, President, Wheaton College
The ESV Expository Commentary series is truly a treasure of outstanding biblical exposition and thoughtful biblical theology. Not only will readers find high-quality scholarship, but they will discover a readable, accessible, and well-designed commentary. Pastors, Bible teachers, and interested students will find this excellent resource to be an incredibly helpful and trustworthy guide. Highly recommended!
