For more than forty years the New Bible Commentary has served Bible readers worldwide. This complete new edition builds on the strengths of the previous three: A one-volume commentary on the whole Bible by an international team of contributors General articles on what the Bible is and how to read it An introduction to each Bible book Commentaries dividing each book into sections for ease of reference. The 21st Century Edition is designed to meet the needs of today. It makes use of the latest international scholarship: 80% of the articles are entirely new and the rest have been rewritten. New maps, diagrams, charts and tables illuminate the text, and further reading lists are included with each article.
