A companion series to the acclaimed Word Biblical Commentary
Finding the great themes of the books of the Bible is essential to the
study of God's Word and to the preaching and teaching of its truths.
These themes and ideas are often like precious gems: they lie beneath
the surface and can only be discovered with some difficulty. While
commentaries are useful for helping readers understand the content of a
verse or chapter, they are not usually designed to help the reader to
trace important subjects systematically within a given book a Scripture.
The Word Biblical Themes series helps readers discover the important
themes of a book of the Bible. This series distills the theological
essence of a given book of Scripture and serves it up in ways that
enrich the preaching, teaching, worship, and discipleship of God's
people. Volumes in this series:
- Are written by top biblical scholars
- Feature authors who wrote on the same book of the Bible for the Word
Biblical Commentary series
- Distill deep and focused study on a biblical book into the most
important themes and practical applications of them
- Give readers an ability to see the "big picture" of a book of the
Bible by understanding what topics and concerns were most important to
the biblical writers
- Help address pressing issues in the church today by showing readers
see how the biblical writers approached similar issues in their day
- Are ideal for sermon preparation and for other teaching in the church
Word Biblical Themes are an ideal resource for any reader who has used
and benefited from the Word Biblical Commentary series, and will help
pastors, bible teachers, and students as they seek to understand and
apply God's word to their ministry and learning.
