The Pulpit Commentary: Introduction to the Historical Books

One of the most reliable and often consulted commentaries of the last 100 years is The Pulpit Commentary by H.D.M. Spence and Joseph S. Exell.

The Pulpit Commentary covers all 66 Books of the Bible and offers a detailed verse-by-verse study. Each Bible passage is given expository treatment that places each Scripture within its geographical and cultural context. Additional exegetical/critical resources are provided for each book, giving you more ideas for preaching, teaching, and personal application. This in-depth commentary brings together three key elements for better preaching:

• Exposition—with thorough verse-by-verse commentary of every verse in the Bible.
• Homiletics—with the "framework" or the "big picture" of the text.
• Homilies—with four to six sermons sample sermons from various authors.

One unique feature that sets The Pulpit Commentary apart from others is the focus it places on preaching. For each passage discussed, The Pulpit Commentary gives you sermon outlines to help you prepare your own sermon. Plus, it gives you short sermons written by many different authors for every passage. You'll be amazed how helpful this is to conceptualizing your own sermon.

All in all, The Pulpit Commentary has over 22,000 pages and 95,000 entries from a total of 23 volumes. A must have for any preacher or teacher of God's Word.
