Anglican and Baptist Professors Commend CPH's New Bible Commentary Series

I’m pleased to share with you the first commendations for our latest Bible commentary series based on the ESV and KJV, which will be release this year. The first volume is on Colossians and Thessalonians, shared with the professors named below.

The Reformation Heritage Bible Commentary is a unique series that promises to be a valuable resource for laity and preachers.  The verse-by-verse commentary focuses on major topics, providing clear interpretation and devotional insight in keeping with how the Reformers approached Scripture, and emphasizing themes that were central in their teaching.  Illustrative quotes from key Reformers and their heirs, including Lutheran, Calvinist, Anglican, and Wesleyan sources, provide insights in their own words, without trying to survey the range of views represented in this heritage.  This focused approach gives a clear reading of the text which engages one’s mind and heart.

Busy pastors and teachers of the scriptures need commentaries that are biblical, theological, and practical. Fortunately, the present commentary on Colossians and the Thessalonian letters fulfills those requirements. In addition, the commentary is accessible to a wide variety of readers, for it is written in a wonderfully clear way. I commend this work gladly.
