New Testament Background Commentary

The New Testament . . . contains an amazing number of details in its texts that can easily be lost on the modern mind . . . Commentaries usefully explain the main teaching of a passage, however they do not always explore the broader context.  Bible dictionaries are helpful, but they are more interested in expressing the meaning of specific words rather than the significance of situations.  Harold Mare has helped the modern reader by combining the best elements of both in his New Testament Background Commentary.
