Description
The book of Isaiah depicts for its readers what happens when Isaiah volunteers to become Yahweh's gofer, when he acts and speaks on Yahweh's behalf with Yahweh's authority. In this careful and insightful commentary on Isaiah, Goldingay unfolds the voices and messages of those prophetic actions and experiences. While doing this he points out that three attributes of Yahweh come into distinctive focus in Isaiah: Yahweh's majesty and authority, Yahweh's...

The standard take on Creation is that it displays God's power for all to see through what has been created. But there is more to the Creation account than meets the eye. Not only did God reveal himself through what was created but also in how he created it.
Have you ever wondered why it took God so long to create the heavens and the earth? He could have done it in the blink of an eye. But he chose six days. Why?
The answer is found in his intentional...

I, the Christ "come from above" (St. John 3.31), from heaven, from paradise; where we live in harmony with the animals. I know perfectly well the tree of knowledge and that its forbidden fruit is the fish.
First of all, I said: "I do everything, JUST like what my father did." And if my father in the beginning blessed and multiplied live fish; I will never bless or multiply dead fish.
Second: I represent a Lamb, and we lambs are vegetarians; but...

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable--but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive...

The books of Jeremiah and Lamentations cannot be separated from the political conditions of ancient Judah. Beginning with the righteous king Josiah, who ushered in a time of glorious but brief religious reform, Jeremiah reflects the close tie between spiritual and political prosperity and disaster, between the actions and heart of Judah and her kings and their fortunes as a nation. While few of us today have any firsthand understanding of what it...

The birth of religion started from a simple concept humanity's inability to explain the unexplainable until one added gods to the equation. A Jewish Hebrew scholar not knowing about prior pagan religions and their gods, rituals and stories--would have been like a history teacher today not knowing about history, or a math teacher not knowing about math, or a professor of law not knowing about the law. Because in the end all are considered scholars...

Theology is not done in a vacuum. Our theology is affected by the culture in which we live, and our theology can have unexpected effects on the lives of Christians who live thousands of miles away. This point emerges clearly as we listen to seven Arabic evangelical theologians address issues that are of critical importance to Christians living as minorities in the Muslim world. North American readers may find that many of their assumptions are challenged...

Time has sealed the reputation of Matthew Henry's classic commentary as a rich source of insight into God's word. Four centuries after its first publication, it remains one of the best-loved, most popular commentaries ever written. However, while its wisdom is timeless, the English language has changed much through the years. Words that meant one thing in Matthew Henry's day have taken on different meanings today. In addition, Henry's often wordy...

Straight to the point, practical, affirming, convicting-that's the book of James. In it, we see a picture of early Christians wrestling to apply the teachings of Jesus to their everyday lives. And we see a community plagued by divisiveness and hypocrisy, with an emphasis on wealth and status. James pulls no punches addressing these issues, calling for a faith that shows itself in moral actions: in speech, in interpersonal relationships, in economic...

Could Judas have been, forgiven? Did he ask for forgiveness? Will an earthly court adjudge him unforgiveable? Many questions surround the destiny and eternity of the man who sold his Lord and Master for thirty pieces of silver and committed suicide thereafter. But even, the divinity of Jesus (in most people's psych) makes Judas more accursed.
Patrick Muntu explores the minds of the opposing sides on these questions. He sums up acknowledging the supremacy...
