Introducing the People's Bible Commentary SeriesA Bible Commentary for Every Day |
||
The Bible is exciting, stimulating, thought provoking, poetic and a good read. Reading it is essential for spiritual growth and can help us in the day-to-day. However, the Bible can be difficult to read and parts of it are hard to understand. When we are going on a walk, we take a map or a guide. We might need the same for the Bible, so that we can make the most of the most exciting book ever written. “A way of reading scripture to which I really look forward - satisfying the head and the heart.” Isn’t that what we are all looking for? This comment was made about The People’s Bible Commentaries (PBCs) – a series of commentaries that aim to combine scholarly insights with application to our own lives and so to instruct the head and warm the heart. The commentaries are suitable for daily Bible readings, can be read straight through or can be used to look up a specific passage. The authors come from around the world and from different Christian traditions and offer scholarly insights distilled into accessible language. Who is it for? If you have not studied the Bible before, these commentaries offer an accessible introduction. If you are looking to go deeper in your Bible study, the PBCs can offer valuable insights. If you lead a Bible study group or are involved in preaching or teaching, the commentaries will give you the necessary background information as well as ideas about the meaning of your chosen passage for today. If you have become too familiar with the Bible, maybe even burnt out on it, this series could help you re-discover the wonder of God’s word. What others have said about the series “A refreshing and easy-to-read study of the Bible on a book by book basis.” “Thought-provoking, detailed and good value.” “A couple of pages in straightforward language gives you enough to think about and you will know your Bible better.” “Excellent for personal Bible study and as a reference for other study. Clear, concise and does not use high theological language which most ordinary people don’t understand.” “User friendly Bible commentaries with manageable daily readings and meditations which combine scholarship and spiritual understanding in a way which furthers individual growth.” “I have already recommended PBCs to people in my congregation who want to start serious personal Bible study and to local preachers in training to help them in their studies and with their preaching.” |
