Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary on the Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation, excerpted from the Fortress Commentary on the Bible: The New Testament, engages readers in the work of biblical interpretation. Contributors connect historical-critical analysis with sensitivity to current theological, cultural, and interpretive issues. Introductory articles describe the challenges of reading the New Testament in ancient and contemporary contexts, as well as exploring other themes ranging from the Jewish heritage of early Christianity to the contexts of diaspora. These are followed by the survey “Introduction to Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation.” Each chapter (Hebrews through Revelation) includes an introduction and commentary on the text through the lenses of three critical questions: The Text in Its Ancient Context. What did the text probably mean in its original historical and cultural context? The Text in the Interpretive Tradition. How have centuries of reading and interpreting shaped our understanding of the text? The Text in Contemporary Discussion. What are the unique challenges and interpretive questions that arise for readers and hearers of the text today? Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation introduces fresh perspectives and draws students, as well as preachers and interested readers, into the challenging work of interpretation.

Perfect for personal devotion, classroom teaching or group discussion, the commentary series includes a basic introduction to each New Testament book, the full text of the scripture that is being studied, the spiritual insights and applications of each verse, and group discussion questions at the conclusion of each chapter.

The General Epistles provide a wealth of wisdom and truth for believers today. In these letters, we find the meaning of faith in action in the book of James, the promise of victory over suffering in 1 and 2 Peter, a warning against false teachers and doctrines in 1 John and Jude, the commandment to love one another in 2 John and the meaning of hospitality and faithfulness in 3 John. Faith truly comes alive by the study and application of these brief yet meaningful books.

Download or read book A Layman s Commentary written by John Devine and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world, it can be difficult to maintain your faith. Those seeking a greater understanding of the Bible have numerous excellent theological commentaries available to them, but due to volume and depth, many of these are out of reach of laypeople. Others lose contact with the Bible, because it no longer seems relevant to life. They use a superficial knowledge of science and evolution to exclude God and faith from their experiences. The Layman's Commentary: Volume 8?General Epistles presents a passage by passage explanation of the nine letters of the Bible to the early churches from general authors who were eyewitnesses or associates and spoke of their experience of Jesus. In this eighth volume, author John Devine explains the practical relevance of these documents as they relate to effective everyday living. He considers the relevance of creation and science, as well as God's moral standard which is of vital importance in modern society. These letters are shown to conform with the Gospels and the letters of Paul. Hebrews explains the connection of the Old Testament with the First Coming of Jesus. Revelation describes the fulfillment with the Second Coming of Jesus. God's plan for a relationship with the individual is explained with the means by which this was made possible by the death and resurrection of his Son. The notes confirm that science and faith are complementary in giving purpose and meaning to life. The expectation of eternal life is also assured.
