Leviticus
Coy D. Roper, Ph.D.
|
 |
In the Book of Leviticus, God established the priesthood and ordained the various sacrifices to be offered at the tabernacle.
While Christians are not under the Law, we are called to be God's holy people today. The sacrificial system of the old covenant foreshadowed the giving of God's perfect Lamb,
His Son Jesus Christ. In response to His sacrifice in our behalf, we are to live in faithful obedience to His new covenant. (588 pages) |

Intriguing narratives in the Book of Numbers feature a greedy prophet, a talking donkey, fiery serpents, and rebels who were swallowed by the earth.

Judges and Ruth
Harold Shank
|
 |
The Book of Judges highlights the Israelites' downward spiral of moral decay and their repeated deliverance by God. The Book of Ruth is an account of lives
obedient to the Lord and of God's providing for His people. While Judges displays the disastrous results of disobeying God and shows the powerful negative
influence of pagan culture on the faith of God's people, Ruth tells the story of a non-Israelite brought to faithfulness to the one God and blessed as a result.
These two books offer inspiring messages and demonstrate how the Lord can work in remarkable ways, challenging us to repent of our wrongs and to pursue paths of righteousness.

way to the twenty-first-century world. It shares memorable illustrations that are taken from the people of God during the remarkable time when Israel's
leadership was transitioning from judges to kings. Written in a captivating style, the book gives a selective coverage of the life of Samuel, the last of
the judges, who anointed Saul and David as kings of Israel. One cannot study through this book without confronting the great value of godly living. (440 pages) |

2 Samuel
M. Ray Paseur, Ph.D.
|
 |
The Book of 2 Samuel covers the remarkable reign of David. It divides the forty years
of his monarchy into two parts: the good years (chapters 2—10) and the bad years (chapters 11—20) that disclosed
his victories and his sins and the calamities that followed them. Some of these narratives tell of the depths of a king's faithfulness
to God, while others relate to how deplorable sin is and how its network of influences affect family members and the future of the kingdom.
Written in biographical style, the book gives a thorough coverage of the royal life of David. (430 pages) |

Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther
Coy D. Roper, Ph.D.

emphasize the sovereignty of God, the importance of being faithful to His Word, and the value of godly leadership. Coy Roper's comments about the exiles' rebuilding of Jerusalem, their
rededication to the Law, and the story of Esther's courage call us to dedicated service to our faithful God. (610 pages)

Psalm 119
Eddie Cloer, D.Min.
|
 |
Psalm 119 is unique in its extensive acrostic structure and in its singular praise for God and His
Word. The psalmist repeatedly expressed his love and desire for God's law, referring to its commands and precepts using vivid terminology.
With striking figurative language, he depicted his reliance on the Word to give him comfort, to protect him from the evil he saw around him,
and to guide him into greater obedience to the God he adored. God's Word can be for us, as it was for him, a light to guide each step.
Eddie Cloer's study challenges us to love, meditate on, and uphold the truths of the holy Scriptures. No one can engage in any higher pursuit,
and this book is an excellent tool to help in that endeavor. (732 pages) |

Jeremiah 26—52 and Lamentations
Dayton Keesee |

Heedless of Jeremiah's warnings, Judah persisted in sin. The people listened to the encouraging words of false prophets and persecuted Jeremiah for speaking the truth. In the concluding part of this study, Dayton Keesee reviews the ruin of God's chosen nation at the hands of Babylon. The sad story of Jeremiah's ministry culminates with the destruction of Jerusalem even after his lifetime of preaching repentance to avoid complete desolation. The prophet's reaction to the tragic fall of Jerusalem is captured in his brief, poetic Book of Lamentations. (594 pages) |

Edward P. Myers, Ph.D., Neale T. Pryor, Th.D., David R. Rechtin

The intriguing Book of Daniel, with its mysterious visions and prophecies, raises many questions. This unique multi-authored commentary examines the book with different approaches to the text. The faith of Daniel and his friends, in Babylonian captivity, provides some of the most treasured stories in the Old Testament; and the Lord's dealings with the proud kings Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar serve as some of the most vivid illustrations that God always remains in control of His world.

The Minor Prophets, 1: Hosea, Joel, and Amos
Coy D. Roper, Ph.D.
|
 |
The Minor Prophets, often overlooked by Bible students, contain God's timeless messages of love,
forgiveness, and justice not only for His people, but to other nations as well. Hosea and Amos
prophesied during the eighth century B.C., pleading with the northern kingdom to return to the
God who loved them and warning them of the judgment that would come if they did not repent. Joel,
addressing the southern kingdom, depicted punishment for sin as a locust plague and spoke of a
future time when God's spirit would be poured out upon His people. (460 pages)

In the second half of his study on Matthew, Sellers Crain continues his analysis of Jesus'
teachings and works during His earthly ministry. Those who embraced Jesus misunderstood His
role as King, and those who rejected Him had Him crucified. Only after He was raised from
the dead and ascended to the Father did Christ's followers begin to realize how His life, death,
and resurrection had fulfilled the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament. (510 pages)

Mark 1—8
Martel Pace, M.Div.

Mark presents Jesus as a lowly servant, as a man of action more than a man of words. Consequently, the doings of Jesus,
not His teachings dominate this record of Jesus' life and ministry. A careful study of the Gospel According to Mark will change your life and that of others.
The messages found in this account of our Lord's life can pierce our hearts to have the passion to live godly lives and share the good news with others. (462 pages) |

John 1—12
David Lipe

John is unique among the Gospels. Unlike the Synoptic Accounts, John omits some major events such as Jesus' virgin birth,
temptations, and transfiguration and focuses on His private encounters rather than His public sermons. David L. Lipe offers a readable yet in-depth look at vivid
narratives which reveal that the text was written by an eyewitness. He highlights Jesus' seven "I am" statements and seven "signs" recorded in John. This
commentary offers a personal look at the One who became flesh so He could die that we might live. (568 pages) |

In his coverage of the fourth Gospel Account, David L. Lipe examines the uniqueness in John's
record of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. At its core, this text is a look at who Jesus is and who He wants
to be in our lives. The text depicts Jesus as the Word made flesh, the Master Teacher, the Great Physician, the Bread of Life, the Water of Life,
the Good Shepherd, and the Victor over death. He can be all of these and more to those who answer John's call to believe and accept the Lord's offer of eternal life. (520 pages) |

Romans 1—7
David Roper, M.S. |
 |
Part 1 of David Roper's doctrinal study on Romans provides an
in-depth look at Paul's inspired teachings in Romans 1—7. The text explains that salvation comes by
grace, not by personal merit or by law-keeping. Paul's epistle declares that all are sinners but presents
Christ as the remedy for sin and its consequences. The text shows how one who submits to Christ's
transforming gospel can overwhelmingly conquer temptation, sin, and even death. The good news of Romans
is that God is ever working in the lives of those who follow the Spirit instead of the flesh. (470 pages) |

of the Spirit-led life. Roper explains the concept of being God's elect and the divine promise that all
things work for the good of those who love the Lord. He highlights the wonder of salvation through hearing
and obeying the gospel and provides a beautiful, concise description of Christian living. (480 pages) |

1 Corinthians
Duane Warden, Ph.D.
|
 |
In this letter to first-century Christians in Corinth, Paul addressed many questions which, with slight variations, continue to trouble the church today.
Division, immorality, doctrinal confusion, and worldliness plagued this congregation; and one root of their conflicts—pride—is common among us still.
Duane Warden's verse-by-verse study tackles difficult issues in the biblical text and draws practical application for Christians living in our own time. Paul knew
that the key to overcoming congregational struggles is love. In his eloquent and familiar discussion in chapter 13, the apostle defined and described the kind of
love that is needed to make the church what Christ wants it to be. (530 pages)

2 Corinthians
Duane Warden, Ph.D.
|
 |
In this letter to the first-century Christians in Corinth, Paul addressed questions, such as authority and unity, which continue to
trouble the church today. Duane Warden's verse-by-verse study tackles the difficult issues in the biblical text and draws application
for pure Christian living. Paul urged the brethren to examine themselves and hold firmly to the truth, for each Christian is a common
vessel containing the holiness of the gospel message. He asked his readers to remember his own example of dedication and service and to
imitate congregations of the Lord's church who were generously assisting brethren in need. This study gives the assurance that, no matter
what life brings, the faithful Christian need never lose heart; for mortality will one day give way to eternal life. (486 pages)

Galatians
Jack McKinney, M.A.
|
 |
Paul's letter to the Christians in Galatia was designed to protect the young churches from the teachers who wanted the Gentiles
to be circumcised in order to be saved. Honoring this demand would destroy their faith in Christ as their only means of salvation. The true significance of the gospel
message is emphasized in this epistle of Paul. In Christ, all are saved equally. As brothers and sisters, we are to worship and serve together, without regard for
dividing lines such as ethnicity and economic status. Jack McKinney used his vast background in Greek to shape an extremely valuable commentary for Christians today. (452 pages) |

James
Duane Warden, Ph.D.
|
 |
While the Book of James was addressed to the first-century church, it continues to instruct readers
with practical exhortations on godly living. In this commentary, Duane Warden thoroughly discusses James' imperatives for seeking wisdom,
being humble, avoiding favoritism, guarding the tongue, and being a "doer of the Word." The brother of the Lord offered encouragement to Jewish
brethren who were "dispersed abroad" and faced persecution. In view of the uncertainty of tomorrow, he gave assurance that the Lord will return
in the day of judgment. He urged followers of Christ to awaken dead faith and demonstrate how Christianity is put into practice. (432 pages) |

1, 2, & 3 John

John's exhortations to the early church in 1, 2, and 3 John address challenges still faced by Christians today. Duane Warden's intricate study
offers practical guidance for interpreting the apostle's letters and applying them to daily life. Like the Gospel of John, these epistles maintain that the remedy for sin was introduced
to humanity when God sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. John rebuked those living in sin, encouraged his readers to "walk in the Light," and assured Christians that they can
know God. He also wrote to warn the church of false teachers. The apostle wanted Christians to live according to the truth and to be led by love in their relationships with one another
and with God. (428 pages) |
