This review is from: Jon Courson's Application Commentary: New Testament (Hardcover)

Jon Courson combines scholarly analysis with a broad and deep knowledge of Old Testament Types and Symbolism to breathe a new vitality into the New Testament Good News. The common theme is the Gospel of Grace, whereby Christians respond to Jesus' sacrificial love on the cross by inviting Him into their hearts and letting Him finish the work by changing them from the inside out. His self-deprecating and personal style is not only humorous and readable but also timely and pertinent to the struggles we face in our lives. I highly recommend this commentary for those Christians who are striving for maturity in their Christian walk.

I just love this book. I am thinking about buying a ton of them for Christmas gifts. This book is a great commentary on the New Testament. It has taught me so much, sometimes by pointing out the meanings of the original Greek words, and other time by just bringing things into focus. I am not a long time student of the Bible and reading the Bible alone I have often felt confused or lost. John Courson has really enabled me to focus and thoughtfully consider it as I read. Thank you, John Courson. You have helped make my quiet time a joy rather than a chore!

I was a church pew baby - born in one and remained throughout much of my life. Nothing and no one has opened my eyes to the truths in the Word like Pastor Jon Courson has done in this commentary. He speaks truths in todays language meeting todays needs. I have bought this commentary for anyone who will take one (and even some who would'nt). I have watched lives transformed from fence walkers to true followers of Jesus through the diligent reading of this commentary. The scripture is in King James (my favorite) - and the commentary on it makes you not even realize you are reading King James. For me, it is less of a commentary that I would go to to look for understanding of specific verses - as it is a read through Bible. Many times I have read the Bible with little understanding. This commentary has opened my eyes, heart and soul through Jon's obvious God given gift used for HIS GLORY - to bring a greater awareness of GOD's Word to my life. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. I do not have alot of money - but when I find someone whom I can share this with - I find the money in the budget for another one.
