Characteristics of the ESV Expository Commentary series:
- exegetically sound—self-consciously submissive to the flow of thought and lines of reasoning discernible in the biblical text;
- robustly biblical-theological—reading the Bible as diverse yet bearing an overarching unity, narrating a single storyline of redemption culminating in Christ;
- globally aware—aimed as much as possible at a global audience, in line with Crossway’s mission to provide the Bible and theologically responsible resources to as many people around the world as possible;
- broadly reformed—standing in the historical stream of the Reformation, affirming that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, taught in Scripture alone, for God’s glory alone; holding high a big God with big grace for big sinners;
- doctrinally conversant—fluent in theological discourse; drawing appropriate brief connections to matters of historical or current theological importance;
- pastorally useful—transparently and reverently “sitting under the text”; avoiding lengthy grammatical/syntactical discussions;
- application-minded—building brief but consistent bridges into contemporary living in both Western and non-Western contexts (being aware of the globally diverse contexts toward which these volumes are aimed);
- efficient in expression—economical in its use of words; not a word-byword analysis but a crisply moving exposition.
Highly recommended! Buy the available volumes for your home library and for your pastor!
