N. T. Wright's For Everyone New Testament Commentary | Recommended Resource

This month’s Recommended Resource is N.T. Wright’s For Everyone New Testament Commentary Series. Professor N.T. Wright is one of the most accomplished, beloved Biblical scholars of our era, and these short commentaries have been a staple in our work at Walking The Text for years.

True to its name, the For Everyone Series offers the very best in biblical scholarship and context but does so in a reader-friendly way. Each commentary is divided into bite-sized sections of content that will leave you feeling informed rather than overwhelmed. One of the most helpful aspects of the For Everyone Series is the way Professor Wright identifies the core themes running throughout Scripture and shows how those themes culminate in the New Testament by pointing to Jesus.

It's not necessary to purchase the entire series all at once, but each book (or section of books) in the New Testament can be purchased one at a time. Whether you’re leading a group, preparing a sermon, or looking for a book to inspire and lead you deeper into the heart of the Bible, check out the For Everyone New Testament Commentary Series!

I try to remind myself that Jesus and/or the 12 never carried the scrolls around.
Paul didn’t carry his letters around, he wrote them and He sent them.

They preached. Meaning, the heart of the matter was the point, not the translation.

This man knows more about the next than 99% of us. But our pride or often leaves us acting like the Pharisees and Sadducees enforcing a law without love. Is Wright exalting himself or God. Is he drawing people away or towards God?

Why do you think we see 4 gospels, same but different?

I personally think no one is qualified to criticize translation until they learn Greek. And then they probably need to learn Hebrew. And then they probably need to learn Aramaic … get my point. Even the Greek was translated. Andrew & Phillip were Greek, that’s it. Luke later. Paul, proficient but not his native tongue. So everything Jesus said was translated.

We often get caught up in BS because we want to protect our doctrines. Doctrines which came from…you guessed it…men. And we end up in some ecumenically disguised version of sinful pride, that we know better or understand better. Some of us haven’t ever even read the version we defend from genesis to revelation. I plan to read it cover to cover, as a different look of Gods word from a wise man who loves God, to compare to my wooden NASB95 I know.

Non believers don’t read books that are hard to read. Maybe this is a blessing. And coming from a reformed Calvinist, this is not easy for me to type theologically.

Christ died everyone (2 Cor. 5:14-15), a new covenant (testament) for everyone.

I'm not a huge fan of his translation. I feeling like his British way of speaking comes through some times and throws me off. I do enjoy his commentary and lectures very much however.
