The New Testament Devotional Commentary, Volume 1: Matthew, Mark, and Luke (The New Testament Devotional Commentaries)

Product Description Bible commentaries are rarely so brief, and even more rarely so insightful or helpful. Bo Giertz's trilogy of New Testament commentaries read as short devotions that not only give the reader a better understanding of the factual context in which these Scriptures were written, but also how they apply to people in their everyday lives. Moving passage by passage, Giertz brings the law to bear in soul searching simplicity before preaching Christ and him crucified for the forgiveness of sins to all who have ears to hear. This first volume covers the synoptic gospels, highlighting the unique perspective that Matthew, Mark, and Luke bring to us about the earthly life of Jesus. Each section begins with a brief introduction to the book, its author, and its place in history. The subsequent chapters each focus on a single pericope, bursting with gospel insights that will enrich the faith of the pastor and the layman alike. About the Author Bo Giertz (1905-1998) spent his youth as a militant atheists before his conversion in college set him to become an apologist for the Christian faith, a beloved novelist, pastor and bishop in the church of Sweden. These commentaries were written in retirement after a long life carefully studying both the scriptures and the human soul.Rev. Bror Erickson serves as pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Farmington, New Mexico.

Laato, Timo

In the third volume of his New Testament Devotional Commentaries Volume 3: Galatian Through Revelation, Bo Giertz returns to the text with his keen insight and love for God’ s word and God’ s people. This would finish his work as an author that began in the 1930s and continued for five decades.\nTaking the principles of Biblical Realism he had learned from his mentor Anton Fridrichsen, with its rejection of both liberal higher criticism and fundamentalist biblicism, Bo Giertz opens some of the most difficult to understand texts in all of Scripture with a simple understanding that this is God’ s word for you.\nHe blends this approach to Scripture with pastoral insight gained from his years as both a rural parish priest in the Swedish countryside and the Bishop of the bustling cosmopolitan center of Gothenburg. His commentary on Revelation is particularly revolutionary.\nAppendix: The Bible’ s View of Itself and Other Views of the Bible

In Faith in the Face of Tyranny, Torbjö rn Johannson looks at the work that Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Hermann Sasse brought to the forgotten Bethel Confession of 1933 to show just what a confessional response to national socialism and racism looks like. This work is relevant for today, when there are often calls for new confessions and declarations addressing different political ideologies, issues, and movements. Faith in the Face of Tyranny shows what such a confession should look like and why, as well as what considerations should be taken into account when looking at such a project.
