They represent the best in evangelical scholarship committed to the divine inspiration, complete trustworthiness, and full authority of the Bible. This reference work provides pastors and other Bible students with a comprehensive and scholarly tool for the exposition of he Scriptures and the teaching and proclamation of their mesage. The English text used in the Expositor's Bible Commentary is The New International Version (North American Edition), though contributors refer to other translations and to the original languages. Each book of the bible has, in addition to its exposition an introduction, outline, and bibliography. Notes on textual questions and special problems are correlated with the expository units, transliteration and translation of Semitic, and Greek words make the more technical notes accessible to readers unacquainted with the biblical languages. In matters where marked diffferences of opinion exist, commentators, whle stating their own convictions, deal fairly and irenically with opposing views.
