theWord Commentaries

Here is true Biblical exposition, put in simple and terse language; no long and complicated sentences that weary the mind by the laborious process of unraveling their grammatical structure. Yet there is depth; no more skimming of the surface. Yes, it is real interpretation without exhibiting the machinery of critical exegesis. Thus the book can be read for edification alike by the technical scholar and by the general reader.
