These commentaries, informed by recent scholarship, are not overburdened with detail. They are written for lay leaders, teachers, pastors, college and seminary students, and all those searching the Bible for truth and life. The writers place each section of Scripture in the perspective of the whole Bible and bring it into conversation with the past and present experience of God's people in the world. The format is unique: Preview, Outline, Explanatory Notes, Text in Biblical Context, and Text in the Life of the Church — thus providing a fine balance of exegesis, theological reflection, and life appropriation. Sponsored by six denominations, the BCBC series represents the Anabaptist believers church tradition as a key perspective for interpretation.
