John (The NIV Application Commentary Book 4)
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Religion & Spirituality

The NIV Application Commentary helps you communicate and apply biblical text effectively in today&apos;s context. The Gospel of John tells us the story that is the foundation of the distinctive teaching of Christianity. It provides all the elements necessary to see the full picture of the person and work of Jesus: a human Christ to redeem us, a divine Christ to reveal God&apos;s nature, and a powerful, Spirit-filled Christ to help us lead holy lives. This commentary unveils, in today&apos;s terminology, the deeply satisfying portrait of Christ painted in the Gospel of John. To bring the ancient messages of the Bible into today&apos;s context, each passage is treated in three sections: Original Meaning. Concise exegesis to help readers understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its historical, literary, and cultural context. Bridging Contexts. A bridge between the world of the Bible and the world of today, built by discerning what is timeless in the timely pages of the Bible. Contemporary Significance. This section identifies comparable situations to those faced in the Bible and explores relevant application of the biblical messages. The author alerts the readers of problems they may encounter when seeking to apply the passage and helps them think through the issues involved. This unique, award-winning commentary is the ideal resource for today&apos;s preachers, teachers, and serious students of the Bible, giving them the tools, ideas, and insights they need to communicate God&apos;s Word with the same powerful impact it had when it was first written.
