Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best in the NIV Application series,
By moviemusicbuff (Walnut, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luke (The NIV Application Commentary) (Hardcover)
I own Darrell Bock's 2-volume work on Luke with the Baker Exegetical Series. I found this commentary to be even more helpful. Bock displays an in-depth understanding of the Gospel of Luke. Not only does he present a sound exposition of the message of Luke, but he gives the reader excellent application for today. I own many of the volumes in the NIV Application Commentary. This one is one of the best in the series. You won't be disappointed with this commentary on Luke.

This review is from: Luke (NIV Application Commentary, The) (Kindle Edition)
On Kindle this is a useless resource. How can you use it as a reference with no way to find a passage.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Luke (The NIV Application Commentary) (Hardcover)
book arrived in a timely fashion; book was in excellent condition; experience was "just perfect." I found this method of buying commentaries better than going to a Christian book store. No crowds to fight;no apathetic clerk to tolerate. Just perfect.
