Beskrivning
'Praise be to the LORD who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed on all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses.'1 KINGS 8:56The book of Kings is much more than an historical record. It is the story of the remarkable faithfulness of God to build the Kingdom he promised, even when his own people reject it. And it is about how different this Kingdom is to everything else the world has ever known. Nathan Lovell's thought-provoking commentary helps us to understand not only Israel's history, but how it shapes and challenges us today. As God works amongst his people, we begin to catch a glimpse of an entirely new type of world order. On the surface Kings is a book about power and glory, but by reading more deeply we begin to see the truth of Jesus' words, 'Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.'About the Hodder Bible CommentaryThe Hodder Bible Commentary is a comprehensive 50-volume Bible commentary series.

Recensioner i media

In the biblical book of 1 & 2 Kings we meet a vast array of characters and cultures and confront a rich theology all rooted in a history spanning nearly four centuries. In his Acknowledgements, Nathan Lovell shares that the book of 1 & 2 Kings has "mastered me much more than I have mastered it." Anyone who likewise cherishes the Word of God and picks up this commentary will be grateful not only for Dr. Lovell's sure mastery of Kings but also for his evident love to communicate its wealth to the church. The easy to remember chapter titles like "Establishment"(1 Kings 2) and "Faith" (2 Kings 18), reflect the concerns of a teacher. Throughout, Dr. Lovell's wide-ranging academic work on Kings is made accessible with a light touch. The careful and focused interpretation of each chapter concludes with a discussion of the theological significance of the text for the church. As a Kings scholar I have learned much from Dr. Lovell's work. As a pastor-teacher I am pleased to recommend this commentary to those Nathan calls "ordinary Christian readers." Enabled by this commentary, they will begin their own journey of being mastered by Kings.
