This series of commentaries on the New English Bible is designed for use
in schools and colleges, and for the minister and the layman. Each
volume comments on one book, or part, of the Bible. In each the text is
given in full. Sections of text and commentary alternate, so that the
reader does not have to keep two books open, or turn from one part of
the book to the other, or refer to a commentary in small type at the
foot of the page. Great care has been taken to see that the commentary
is suitable for the student and the layman: there is no Greek or Hebrew,
and no strings of biblical references. The general editors all have
experience of teaching or examining in school and working with adults.
Commentaries on all the books of the Old Testament, New Testament and
Apocrypha have been published, together with introductory volumes and
books of illustrations to accompany each Testament.
