The Expositor's Bible Commentary, Vol. 8 (Matthew, Mark, Luke) by D. A. Carson

THE EXPOSITOR'S BIBLE COMMENTARY IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCRIPTURES. ITS SEVENTY-EIGHT CONTRIBUTORS COME FROM THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AUSTRALIA, AND NEW ZEALAND, AND FROM MANY DENOMINATIONS, INCLUDING ANGLICAN, BAPTIST, BRETHREN, METHODIST, NAZARENE, PRESBYTERIAN, AND REFORMED. THEY REPRESENT THE INSPIRATION, COMPLETE TRUSTWORTHINESS, AND FULL AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE. THIS REFERENCE WORK PROVIDES PASTORS AND OTHER BIBLE STUDENTS WITH A COMPREHENSIVE AND SCHOLARLY TOOL FOR THE EXPOSITION OF THE SCRIPTURES AND THE TEACHING AND PROCLAMATION OF THEIR MESSAGES. THE ENGLISH TEXT USED IN THE EXPOSITOR'S BIBLE COMMENTARY IS THE NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NORTH AMERICAN EDITION), THROUGH CONTRIBUTORS REFER TO OTHER TRANSLATIONS AND TO THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES. EACH BOOK OF THE BIBLE HAS, IN ADDITION TO ITS EXPOSITION, AND INTRODUCTION, OUTLINE, AND BIBLIOGRAPHY. NOTES ON TEXTUAL QUESTIONS AND SPECIAL PROBLEMS ARE CORRELATED WITH THE EXPOSITORY UNITS; TRANSLITERIATION AND TRANLATION OF SEMITIC AND GREEK WORDS MAKE THE MORE TECHNICAL NOTES ACCESSIBLE TO READERS UNACQUAITED WITH THE BIBLICAL LANGUAGES. IN MATTERS WHERE MARKED DIFFERENCES OF OPINION EXIST, COMMENTATORS, WHILE STATING THEIR OWN CONVICTIONS, DEAL FAIRLY AND IRENICALLY WITH OPPOSING VIEWS.
