About
Expert help for understanding the Bible
Each volume in the Understanding the Bible Commentary Series breaks down the barriers between the ancient and modern worlds so that the power and meaning of the biblical texts become transparent to contemporary readers. They present a careful section-by-section exposition of the biblical books with key terms and phrases highlighted and all Hebrew transliterated. Notes at the close of each chapter provide additional textual and technical comments for those who want to dig deeper. A bibliography as well as Scripture and subject indexes are also included. Pastors, students, and Bible teachers will find in this series a commitment to accessibility without sacrificing serious scholarship.
This volume takes on two oft-neglected books of Scripture with the conviction that modern believers can gain much benefit from them. Amid the laws and lists, these two books display the holiness and awesomeness of God, the importance of purity, the nature of worship, the importance of obedience, and the consequences of disobedience in the early life of Israel.
