Tyndale New Testament Commentaries - Böcker

These commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new New Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: Context, Comment and Theology. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.JAMESThe letter of James has often been defined in terms of moral earnestness, repentance and consistent social action, leading many to argue that it is not theological. This separation between theology and practice, Douglas J. Moo observes, can all too easily lead people to read Scripture as a book to be analysed rather than a message to be obeyed - the very mindset against which James inveighs. Moo's exposition of these themes illuminates James's rich letter and its message for us today.

Among the Gospels, John's is unique. Its structure incorporates long conversations and extended debates, and much of its content is not found elsewhere. Jesus' relationship to the Father and his teaching on the Holy Spirit are given special prominence. Ultimately, faith, believing in Jesus, is at the centre - with signs highlighted to provoke faith and stories of those who responded to Jesus as examples of faith. Colin Kruse shows how the Fourth Gospel weaves its themes of belief and unbelief into its rich Christology.This exegetical commentary on the Gospel of John is part of the Tyndale New Testament Commentaries series designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means.

In this fully revised commentary, Wayne Grudem builds on his original work to take into account almost four further decades of study and prayer. Peter's short letter to 'the exiles of the Dispersion' addresses many topics of ongoing relevance: holiness, the sufferings of Christ and his followers, God's sovereignty and grace, the work of the Holy Spirit, the church as the new people of God, the reality of the unseen spiritual world, and the challenge of trusting in God in the midst of daily life. For Wayne Grudem, these seemingly disparate themes are tied together by suffering as a form of imitating Christ.The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries (TNTC) have long been a trusted resource for Bible study.

Romans has been described as the theological epistle par excellence. The apostle Paul emphasizes that salvation is by God’s grace alone, and gives the assurance that freedom, hope, and the gift of righteousness are secured through Christ’s death on the cross, with the promise of a new and glorious destiny.

God’s purpose is to bring Jews and Gentiles together so that they may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one voice.
