Acknowledgments and Dedication

Thank you to Tavis Bohlinger for bringing the idea and opportunity to me for producing a resource like this. Oftentimes students come to me asking for commentary recommendations. I actually do have a one-page “cheat sheet” of recommendations that I have passed on to students over the years. But here I have significantly expanded upon that list, offering multiple recommendations for each New Testament book along with brief annotations.

This book is dedicated to Dr. Scot McKnight. Scot has long been an inspiration to me as a premier commentary writer and New Testament scholar. In recent years, Scot has become a mentor and friend. In fact, you will find his name and works recommended throughout this book. If I can emulate even a fraction of his biblical wisdom I will retire in peace.

Request your complimentary copy of When Faith is Forbidden Meet Christians from around the world who boldly live their Christian faith at great cost in the most dangerous places to follow Christ. Get your copy of one of The Voice of the Martyrs’ latest bestsellers, When Faith is Forbidden — free for a limited time.
Overview Journey alongside Persecuted Christians Take a 40-day journey to meet brothers and sisters who share in the sufferings of Christ. When Faith Is Forbidden takes you to meet a Chinese Christian woman who called six months in prison "a wonderful time," an Iraqi pastor and his wife just eight days after assassins' bullets ripped into his flesh, and others from our spiritual family who've suffered greatly for wearing the name of Christ. Each stop on this 40-day journey includes inspiration and encouragement through the story of a persecuted believer. You'll also find space for reflection and a suggested prayer as you grow to understand the realities of living under persecution—and learn from the examples of the bold believers you'll meet. For more than 20 years, Todd Nettleton (host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio) has traveled the world to interview hundreds of Christians who've been persecuted for the name of Christ. Now he opens his memory bank—and even his personal journals—to take you along to meet bold believers who will inspire you to a deeper walk with Christ.

What Is the Difference between Systematic Theology and Biblical Theology? Jon Nielson The Bible doesn't come to us as an academic textbook, with carefully delineated topical headings organized according to theological themes. Jon Nielson highlights how from the earliest days of the Christian church, biblical scholars and faithful pastors have discerned the important benefit of bringing careful organization and explanation to the theological truths and doctrines that the Bible clearly teaches God's people.

They're ordinarily faithful in often extraordinary places."  —Alex Duke on what missionaries do Ministry Update Did You Know? By 2050, it is expected that the Global South will be home to more than 2.6 billion Christians, with the Global North's growth seeing a less significant increase to 787 million. But access to biblical resources hasn't reflected this shift. That is why, through the One Million Bibles Initiative, Crossway is seeking to provide one million Bibles to believers in the Global South who may not otherwise be able to afford or acquire a copy of their own.
