Customer Reviews

Understandable, approachable NT Commentary
Of the modern commentaries of the New Testament, this may be one of the most easy to grasp. The writing style is friendly, and it doesn't bog the reader down scholarly analysis of every other word. As is the case with many Bible commentaries, I wish the typeface were a bit larger.

If you are a Bible Study teacher and would like one reference book on the NT, Raymond E. Brown's may be the most scholarly, but Barton's book is more friendly and, ultimately, more useful from the standpoint of your students.

Life Application Bible Commentary
I purchased this commentary to read in parallel with my bible as part of my daily quiet time. My purpose was to gain greater depth and understanding from my daily bible readings. I've been very pleased. I'm not a bible scholar. This commentary offers a very understandable discussion of every New Testament verse. I highly recommend this text for anyone that is looking to increase his or her understanding of the New Testament.

Good reference
I currently use the NIV Life Application Study Bible, and I love it. I found this book in a bookstore and found more of what I had come to really love about my Bible. All of the verses broken down into terms that are very easy to understand. If you love all the comments and extras in your NIV Life Application Study Bible then you'll probably like this as well.
