Holman

, 2015

Overview

Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition.

Key Features

• Seeks to display exegetical accuracy
• Offers helpful illustrations and theologically-driven applications
• Provides a commentary that busy pastors can use for weekly preparation of biblically faithful and gospel-saturated sermons

Top Highlights

“This may sound harsh, but those who believe the judgments of God are too severe have ‘not seen sin as God sees it’ (Thomas, God Strengthens, 50).” (Ezekiel 5:7–11)

“I learned early on that one must be cautious when entering into a contract or agreement. As the book of Ezekiel will often remind us, God and Israel had an agreement. It was called a covenant. God always keeps His commitments. We, however, do not. In Ezekiel 4 and 5 God is keeping His end of the agreement, just not in the way Israel wanted.” (Ezekiel 4:1–5:17)

“For many generations Israel enjoyed covenant blessings without honoring their covenant responsibilities. They wanted God’s protection and provision but withheld their devotion and obedience. Sound like anyone we know?” (Ezekiel 5:6–11)

“The judgment of famine would be awful, but as Thomas notes, ‘The real famine was a spiritual one. The famine was a reminder of their spiritual starvation. They had forgotten God’ (God Strengthens, 48).” (Ezekiel 4:1–5:4)

“When God acts, He always does so primarily for His glory and secondarily for our good” (Ezekiel 35:1–36:38)
