Endorsements
The New American Commentary promises to be workmanlike, clear, sufficiently detailed to provide help to the working preacher, but not so long and pedantic as to be tedious and unhelpful to all but a coterie of scholars. The strength of the NAC is that is generally focuses on what the text says. ... Pastors and Bible teachers will be grateful for this resource for years to come.
Richard Melick's commentary is characterized by lucidity and simplicity of expression. This and its avowed aim of bringing out the theological message of the biblical text will make it of especial value to pastors and Bible teachers and should help encourage that faithful exposition of Holy Scriptures which is necessary food Sunday by Sunday for the people of God.
