Product Description
The Pastoral Letters and Hebrews both addressed fundamental issues of Christian authority--and succeeded in guiding young congregations towards maturity. 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus were written to church leaders. These leaders were enmeshed in challenging situations, and we see in the letters the beginning developments of a leadership structure. Hebrews is an altogether different kind of letter and reads like a brilliant sermon underpinned by compelling theological argument. The writer of Hebrews reveals that, in the coming of Jesus, God has given us something better than everything that came before in the Old Testament period. All four letters provide guidance for believers who want to grow as Christ's followers in an often hostile world. The Daily Bible Commentary
A mere reading of the Bible fails to fulfill its ultimate purpose. The Bible's message is meant to transform. The Daily Bible Commentary series distills the best of current scholarship into the straightforward language of a devotional. It skillfully opens each New Testament book and helps readers respond to the eternal truths within. General editors Richard A. Burridge, Dom Henry Wansbrough, and David Winter, together with other renowned scholars from an array of Christian traditions, provide helpful introduction, accessible explanation, and fresh meditations on individual passages. Balancing profound reflection with penetrating insight, the two-page daily readings engage the mind while never failing to touch the heart.
