Allan Harman Bücher

Fully revised and updated edition of a classic IVP title.

A closer look at Matthew Henry's life as a presbyterian pastor in Chester and London and his family life.

Isaiah has been called the 'fifth gospel'. Why? Because in it God speaks through his prophet of his people's departure from truth, the need for repentance and the redemption provided by a coming saviour.

For a people on the brink of entering their promised land Deuteronomy confirmed God's gracious promises as they prepared for new horizons and adventures.

Coming from a remote area of Judah, and from a farming background, Amos was called to a prophetic ministry to the nation of Israel. His prophetic message was a blend of mercy and judgment, as he challenged an erring nation to seek the Lord. In addition to strong condemnation of errant Israel, Amos also held out the -promise of restored fortunes, and particularly of the continuing place and significance of the Davidic family. Allan Harman's commentary is a careful exposition of the text. While using the ESV translation, he gives particular attention to the Hebrew, discussing words that are most significant for the translation and -interpretation of this eighth-century BC covenantal messenger. He also includes sections of application, that preachers will find particularly helpful. The author has spent a lifetime in teaching the Old Testament, and brings his skills to another biblical book. This commentary complements his other commentaries on Exodus, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Isaiah, Joel, and Daniel, all of which have been aimed at making plain the significance of the text, without unnecessary reference to other writers.

This book offers an in-depth exploration of biblical texts as part of the Focus on The Bible series. It features a verse-by-verse exposition that provides clear explanations and insights into the scripture. Additionally, the inclusion of study questions encourages deeper understanding and reflection, making it a valuable resource for both individual study and group discussions.

Psalms contain the praises of God's people. This is the people of Israel's creed. But more than that, they display historical accounts which demonstrate how the people are to put their trust in God. They display the character of God who is majestic, compassionate and our Creator God.
