Author Description

The Expositor's Bible Commentary is a major contribution to the study and understanding of the Scriptures. Its severy-eight contributors come from the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Australia and New Zealand, and from many denominations including Anglican, Baptist, Brethren, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, and Reformed. They represent the best in evangelical scholarship committed to the divine inspiration, complete trustworthiness and full authority of the Bible. This reference work provides pastors and other Bible students with a comprehensive and scholarly tool for this exposition of the Scriptures and teaching and proclomation of their message. The English text used in The Expositor's Bible Commentary is the New International Version (North American Edition) though contributors refer to other translations and to the original languages. Each book of the Bible has, in addition to its exposition, and introduction, outline, and bibliography. Notes on textual questions and special problems are correlated with the expository units; transliteration and translaation of Semitic and Greek words make the more technical notes accessible to readers unacquanted with the biblical languages. In maters where marked differences of opinion exist, commentators, while stating their own conviction, deal fairly and irenically with opposing views.
