Now available in paperback! Prominent biblical scholars M. Eugene Boring and Fred Craddock present this one volume commentary on the New Testament. Writing from the fundamental conviction that the New Testament is the people’s book, Boring and Craddock examine the theological themes and messages of Scripture that speak to the life of discipleship. Their work clarifies matters of history, culture, geography, literature, and translation, enabling people to listen more carefully to the text. This unique commentary is the perfect resource for clergy and church-school teachers alike who seek a reference tool midway between a study Bible and a multivolume commentary. 

“Whether you are a student of the Bible or a veteran preacher, you will find fresh help and wisdom in this commentary.”

—Barbara Brown Taylor, author of An Altar in the World and Leaving Church
