The Open Your Bible Commentary was written to encourage daily Bible study. Each reading is short, but don't let the brevity fool you! The content is rich with careful explanation, devotional warmth, and practical relevance. It is in two books, Old Testament and New Testament, each containing nearly 1,000 daily readings. What sets this commentary apart from others are the pastor-teachers who wrote it. The list of authors of the New Testament commentary is like a Who's Who of evangelical scholarship: E.M. Blaiklock, F.F. Bruce, H.L. Ellison, William L. Lane, I. Howard Marshall, Ralph P. Martin, Leon Morris, and Robin E. Nixon.
