Description
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive...

Description
Vivir durante mucho tiempo, alejar las fronteras de la muerte lo más posible, es un antiguo sueño de la humanidad hecho realidad. Sin embargo, los ancianos no siempre encuentran hoy un lugar en nuestras sociedades. Para responder a las preguntas que plantea esta nueva realidad, los autores han recurrido a la Biblia (Noé, Abrahán, Noemí, Elí, Job, Tobit, Eleazar, Isabel, Zacarías, Simeón, Ana, Nicodemo...).

The standard take on Creation is that it displays God's power for all to see through what has been created. But there is more to the Creation account than meets the eye. Not only did God reveal himself through what was created but also in how he created it.
Have you ever wondered why it took God so long to create the heavens and the earth? He could have done it in the blink of an eye. But he chose six days. Why?
The answer is found in his intentional...

The author of this book was interested in learning the four major religions of the world-Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. As a result of five years of intensive study of all the holy books, he came up with three books with the following titles:

How do the scriptures speak to us today?
Where do our stories mirror biblical stories? Herbert O'Driscoll, beloved Anglican preacher, storyteller, author, and hymn writer, invites us to imagine what the "back story" of our favorite scriptures might have been.
By doing Christian midrash-telling the stories within the Story-Dr. O'Driscoll has filled in the gaps by creating new homilies and parables based on the text. Some are narratives, such as Jesus...

Isaiah has always been considered the greatest of the Old Testament prophets and while many of his prophecies have already been fulfilled, many are yet to come to fruition. Chapters 40-48 are the comforting promises of the salvation and restoration of the exiles. Chapters 49-55 are messages of deliverance by the Messiah and chapters 56-66 are admonitions to obedience and promises of not only Israels future glory, but the raptured saints as well. In...

Description
The chapters of this book are not chronological. Each chapter is a random stepping stone to lead us deeper into God. Each stepping stone is an entrance.
This book is meant to open our spirits in a greater way to God's world. As to His essence, God is spirit, and we must know Him in that realm. God's world is different from ours. In the earthly realm, there are natural laws, such as the law of gravity. In the spiritual realm, there are also laws....

Despite its title, this book isn't about Dr. Peterson. It's about something far greater. It's about the gaping chasm that currently exists separating the Biblical and scientific world views. More precisely it's an attempt to bridge that gap.
Written as a series of personal emails to a close friend, a former pastor, the author attempts to "interpret" the Biblical narrative in the light of modern science. Walking a tightrope that balances a solid understanding...

It was to Paul that the Lord gave the meaning of the New Covenant, which is the meaning of the Cross, which incorporates the entire Plan of God. Paul, as no other Prophet or Apostle, tells us how to live a Victorious Life in Christ. Although it runs through the entirety of his Epistles, the greater thrust is found in Romans, Chapters 6, 7, and 8. While one can be Saved without understanding what Paul taught about the Victorious Life, pure and simple,...

Description
Those Practical Proverbs is a verse-by-verse commentary on the book of Proverbs from a pastor's perspective. It begins with an explanation of the authorship of Proverbs-most of which was written by King Solomon, with brief sections by Agur, the son of Jakeh, and the words of King Lemuel (from an oracle which his mother taught him). It proceeds to an explanation of the structure of Hebrew poetry, a list of some of the topics addressed in the book,...

In every line of God's Word, there are volumes of wisdom and knowledge waiting to be revealed to His people.
I believe that every book of the Bible has alternative meanings locked into them to put our Lord's wisdom into our hearts, while standing in its power timelessly. These do not negate, nor diminish, the obvious and literal meaning of the words of that book but are revelations into parallel meanings, revealed only through the Holy Spirit, much...
