5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bible-Based Expository Commentary, February 8, 2009

By 

W. Matthews (Strongstown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Colossians and Philemon: New Testament Commentary (Macarthur New Testament Commentary Serie) (Hardcover)

MacArthur provides thorough Scriptural commentary throughout this book.

He starts by providing a thorough background about the book of Colossians and Philemon. This includes information about the author, the city of Colossae, the church at Colossae, and the situations that were occurring there at the time. MacArthur also provides the same for Philemon.

MacArthur's commentaries are mainly expository. Meaning, he takes scripture and explains it with other scripture. He does digress into other scripture or theological topics at times, but I believe he does this so anyone reading this commentary would be able to understand the other scriptural passages that he references.

I would highly recommend The MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series to anyone looking for an in-depth Biblical explanation of Scripture.

Highly recommended for a small Bible study group or a SS class. We are using the book for a SS class of 30 people and the questions presented for the reader hit home on each lesson.
