Commentary on the New Testament Paperback - 2020

by Robert H. Gundry


From the publisher

Verse-by-verse explanations with a literal translation

Shouldn't a Bible commentary clarify what God's Word actually says? Going beyond questions of authorship, date, sources, and historicity, respected linguist and teacher Gundry offers a two-volume exposition of the New Testament that focuses on what is most useful for preaching, teaching, and individual study--what the biblical text really means. Providing interpretive observations in a "breezy" style that's easy to read and adaptable for oral use in pulpit or classroom presentations, Gundry directs his book to an evangelical audience. His crisp translation of the New Testament inserts various phrasings of passages in brackets, allowing for smooth transition from original text to alternative and contemporary readings. Volume 1 covers Matthew through Acts, and volume 2 covers Romans through Revelation.

From the rear cover

Robert Gundry is a beloved guide to the New Testament. His well-known textbook, A Survey of the New Testament, has been used by generations of students. In this two-volume commentary, Gundry focuses on what is most useful for preaching, teaching, and individual study in each book of the New Testament. He provides a fresh, literal translation of the entire New Testament and a pastorally sensitive, reliable exposition of what is in our New Testament and what it means for us. Volume 1 covers Matthew through Acts, and volume 2 covers Romans through Revelation.

"This is a great resource in a great format for a great purpose from a great scholar. Bob Gundry has been a treasure for people who love the Bible for many years, and this is one of his richest gifts to us yet."
--John Ortberg, author and senior pastor of Menlo Church, California

"Like having a wonderful tour guide to a foreign country, Gundry's study of the New Testament introduces and guides one through the many joys and causes for reflection that are a part of a trip through the New Testament. The guidance provided is judicious in its choices of what to comment on and skilled in its presentation of the key ideas. It will surely serve well those who use it."
--Darrell Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary

"Offers succinct, fast-paced commentary, yet without neglecting the important points of interpretation. Busy pastors, students, laity, and even veteran scholars will find much in this commentary to appreciate. It belongs in every library and study."
--Craig A. Evans, Houston Baptist University

"This is not just another ho-hum commentary, the product of someone reading and repackaging previous commentaries. This is rather the fruit of a lifetime of close, intense attention to the text of the Greek New Testament; the upshot is that one happily finds on every page of this exegetical treasure fresh readings and independent judgments."
--Dale C. Allison Jr., Princeton Theological Seminary

"Gundry's magnum opus culminates the life's work of one of our generation's preeminent New Testament scholars. The weight of this commentary is matched by the substance of Gundry's interpretation within its pages, reflecting his lifetime of scholarship. A rare accomplishment that must find a place on the bookshelf of every serious preacher, teacher, and student of Scripture."
--Karen H. Jobes, Wheaton College and Graduate School (emerita)
