Tyndale New Testament Commentaries

The Tyndale commentaries were one of the first series of commentaries that I ever encountered.  They are written by good evangelical scholars who are familiar with the scholarly issues but are also committed to a high view of Scripture.  One of the great things about the Tyndale commentaries is that they have a wide range of use.  They are appropriate for Bible study leaders in a local church and are worth quoting in seminary papers or journal articles.  There has been a recent update in the Tyndale series and that means that the previous set is now available at an extremely good price.  These volumes are available at Christian Book Distributors at the current time for only $4.99 each!

1 & 2 Thessalonians: Tyndale New Testament Commentary By Leon Morris / IVP Academic "No other writings of Paul provide a greater insight into his missionary methods and message as 1 and 2 Thessalonians," says Leon Morris. "Here we see Paul the missionary and Paul the pastor, faithfully proclaiming the gospel of God, concerned for the welfare of his converts, scolding them, praising them, guiding them, exhorting them, teaching them; thrilled with their progress, disappointed in their slowness . . . Especially important is the teaching of these Epistles on eschatology." The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable, and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament. Leon Morris (1914-2006), one of the leading evangelical scholars of the twentieth century, served as principal of Ridley College in Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of more than forty books, including The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross, The Atonement, and comprehensive scholarly studies on Matthew, Luke, John, and Romans.

Revelation: Tyndale New Testament Commentary By Leon Morris / IVP Academic "The book of Revelation is, I fear, a very neglected book.

In this commentary he tries to explain the significance of the symbolism and to show the bearing of the message of Revelation on the problems of the day.
