Life Application New Testament Commentary (Life Application Bible Commentary)

For a Christian searching for answers, this book really helps explain it all! It's very enjoyable to read! And, I've been learning a lot from it!

My favorite 'commentary.' It is written is simple words and thoughts that I can understand. Gives enough background as needed to give context for the verse and then apply it to today. I had this on an app on my old phone. Took me quite awhile to figure out that it was actually a book and then track it down. It is the book I turn to first when trying to understand Scripture.

I bought this commentery to aide my adult children with their Bible study.They have found this to be helpful in understanding/getting more meaning from their study.I would recommend this to anyone who is a new Christian or someone who just needs a little more help with understanding the Scriptures.

Besides the one I purchased for my personal use, I've purchased six more to give as gifts. So easy to follow and understand! I highly recommend!

Compared to other commentaries, not my favorite. But I’ve been leading Bible studies for years. I prefer more in-depth commentaries.

I am a person who loves bible commentaries. I have several on my shelf, including the HarperCollins Bible Commentary and the Oxford Annotated NRSV Study Bible for reference. And yes, I intentionally mentioned those as quality commentaries. Many of those, however, are purely scholarly and utilize historical criticism as their lens to interpret the bible. These are valuable perspectives, but they have no "soul" in the sense that they are unconcerned with the application of faith. In fact, one need not even believe in God to utilize the historical critical method to interpret the bible. The risk of using purely historical critical commentaries is that the believer risks falling into a sort of secular humanistic view of the bible and the Christian faith, to which some denominations today have largely succumbed.The Life Application New Testament Commentary, on the other hand, is mostly (as the title suggests) about applying the bible to one's life. It does contain some historical and scholarly material, but that is not why I use this commentary. I own a Life Application bible, and while that study bible is wonderful, this commentary goes much deeper into the text and life application. I have to say, the more I refer to it, the more I love it. In terms of applying the bible to one's life, this commentary is excellent and I simply cannot offer it enough praise. And it accomplishes all of this without any recognizable sectarian bias. I highly recommend it, and would love to see a volume dedicated to the Old Testament as well!

I really like this commentary. We just read through the New Testement and used this alot. It says ENOUGH but not TOO MUCH if you know what I mean. When I am reading the bible I don't want to go into another book for a verse. I might have a question on that verse that needs clarifying and this does just that. It also gives you the views of others which I like alot but for sure was a help in knowing if I was on the right track or not to what I got when I read my bible.I suggest you always PRAY before you read and God has a way of making the bible clear to you. Just because a person is a BRAIN on the biblle doesn't mean he knows what it means. Becareful people NOT to take mans word over God's. I have found when I read and look up people that most people really do not understand what they are reading and it's really not that hard. Some over think to the point they miss the point. Some under thing and that's alright to as long as they believe in God, I think he will show them the way. But some of us want to dig deeper and NOT be fooled by man. The bible says SEEK and ye shall find, that's us lol. Just becareful and always take GOD over some mans explanation. I loved this commentary it's a keeper!!!!

The book is in excellent condition. It was packaged securely & arrived in good time.

I received the Life Application New Testament Commentary on time and excellent condition. My opinion this is a great book when studying the Bible. Every verse is covered in a way everyone can understand and learn. I wouldn’t be without it. A must for every Christian learning the Bible

Beautiful commentary. Simple and to the point. Great aid to studying the Lord's word.

This contains the notes from the Life Application Study Bible but expanded and better. Really useful as a preaching aid as the notes are both scholarly and relevant to everyday life.

Very good commentary easy to read and understand

This is the Bible Commentary to buy. It is ideal for those who want to get deeper in the Word.
