The New American Commentary is for those who have been seeking a commentary that honors the Scriptures, represents the finest in contemporary evangelical scholarship, and lends itself to the practical work of preaching and teaching. This series serves as a minister's friend and a student's guide.

The New American Commentary assumes the inerrancy of Scripture, focuses on the intrinsic theological and exegetical concerns of each biblical book, and engages the range of issues raised in contemporary biblical scholarship. Drawing on the skills and insights of over forty scholars and encompassing forty volumes, the NAC brings together scholarship and piety to produce a tool that enhances and supports the life of the church.

This is not only a commentary on one of the most important books of the Bible. it is a theological treatise in its own right, a tract for our times with a message that can renew the life of a church beginning to blend into the worldly spirit of the age. Dr. George herein speaks prophetically as he lays bare the heart and spirit of the modern church with this sharp double-edged sword of the Lord. Like the Old Testament prophets, he has eaten this powerful scroll, placed it in his own heart, and then shaped it into a lighthouse that can guide God's church through the turbulent times ahead. It must be read.
