paperback first edition volume with a helpful and extensive Scripture Index & part of the Contemporary Evangelical Perspectives Series. The back cover states: "If we would understand the Bible, says Edwin R. Thiele, we must strive to understand its chronology, for from the opening of Genesis to the close of Revelation the Bible deals with time…. Certain precise dates are established by a study of chronological and astronomical data from Assyria and Babylon. Then giving careful thought to coregencies, overlapping reigns, and different methods of reckoning the first year of a king's reign, Dr. Thiele uses diagrams, charts, and tables to support the statement he makes in his preface: 'Today I believe the problem to be basically solved, and in the pages to follow the solution will be found….It is my hope that those who carefully study these findings… Read More

COLLECTIBLE! An amazingly well preserved almost as new 409 page rare hardback! This monumental volume was first published in Hebrew in Jerusalem in 1951 & this first English edition was published in 1967. Online comments: "The last of the commentaries rendered into English, this Cassuto's work ranks among the finest modern contributions to the treasury of Biblical learning." 'Umberto Cassuto's comments have a vivid quality seldom found in the exegetical writings of other Biblical expositors, who all too often prefer a jejune and lifeless approach to their subject, however he succeeds in injecting a sense of dramatic excitement into his interpretations. Without neglecting the scientific data provided by archaeological and philological research, he makes us conscious of the literary attributes of the Bible. This present work does not separate the annotations from the Biblical text, but forms a continuous, unified commentary in which the Scriptural citations are interlinked with the exposition.'… Read More

This
exquisite 1st edition 304 easy-to-read hardback volume is Collector's quality! The Dust Jacket has been professionally covered with library grade Mylar! Online summary: 'David, unlike any Bible character before him, had the charisma to inspire a great nation. Yet in other ways he was a most ordinary man-often gripped by destructive passion, rocked by personal tragedy, and motivated by political gain. Yet, he is the one character the Bible describes as a "man after God's own heart." In this first volume of the "Great Lives" series Charles Swindoll shows how David proved his love for God many times over in an extraordinary life that left an enduring legacy of faith.' David
is the first of a multi-volume series exploring the Great Lives from the Bible and mining them for the qualities that made them great. Excellent character study; "A Man of Passion & Destiny." The flyleaf: "In David, Swindoll helps you link the events of your life today to the timeless lessons revealed in the life of David."

Conservative, biblical, and scholarly commentaries on the Old Testament book of The Judges are rare. Purchase this classic!
First published in 1975 by Zondervan, Distressing Days of the Judges, discusses the extremely important period of time between the death of Joshua and the beginning of Israel's monarchy. Individual judges, including Eli and Samuel, whom we read about in First Samuel, and others are discussed in detail. Although not a commentary per se, you will want to put it on your shelf with your other commentaries for its rich content. A vast majority of the book is spent in the Old Testament book of Judges. The book is divided into two major sections. The first section deals with general information before and during the period of the judges—questions of a general nature. They concern matters of identification, the rationale for the period and the way it is reported, the potential which the period held for blessing, the nature of the world of the day, the character of the nations which… Read More

Extremely well-preserved and RARE and ready for You!
The publisher comments on the uniqueness of this commentary as well as the brilliant style of Leupold's writings: "The author's translations of the original text are often picturesquely striking, and his interpretation is both didactic and devotional. Topics such as these are considered: the different types of Psalms; the "I" in the Psalms as a reference to the congregation rather than the individual; the claim that practically all Psalms are liturgical"; saint and sinner in the Psalms; the imprecatory Psalms; the Messianic Psalms; the doctrines of the Psalms." One published reviewer wrote: "although it at times may seem a little dated, it really is a must-have. It is not as technical as some others, and rarely delves into Hebrew Grammar esoterica, it deals with the main issues well and clearly." One public review comments: 'Leupold is a conservative Lutheran scholar who has written several commentaries (Genesis, Ecclesiastes, Isaiah). While some… Read More

This commentary on two historical Old Testament books, Ezra and Nehemiah, are in The Tyndale Old Testament Commentary Series. This exquisite exceptionally well-preserved 174 page hardback volume is a solid biblical verse-by-verse exposition of these two books. The back cover states: "The chequered story of the Kings, a matter of nearly five centuries, had ended disastrously in 587 B.C. with the sack of Jerusalem, the fall of the monarchy and the removal to Babylonia of all that made Judah politically viable. It was a death to make way for a rebirth." So begins Derek Kidner in this introduction and commentary to the books of Ezra and Nehemiah which chart the Jews' return from exile to Jerusalem and the beginnings of that rebirth." As the drama unfolds, we see how international politics, nationalist pride, wise leadership, political intrigue and opportunism, internal dissension and compromise all shape events. But above all and through all we see the good hand of God at work.
Very good. Marks on only… Read More

Amazingly
well preserved vintage volume by a popular author. Dr. Schaeffer examines the first 11 chapters of Genesis. Topics covered include: creation, fall of man, Noah, the Flood, Abraham, etc. This is an easy-to-read 187 page paperback in excellent condition; 1st edition, 1977—6th printing. The back cover states: "Genesis is a book of origins--the origin of the universe, the origin of life and the origin of man. It places man in his cosmic setting, shows his particular uniquness, explains his wonder and his flaw, and begins to trace the flow of human history through space and time. Many today, however, view this book as a collection of myths, useful for understanding the Hebrew mind, perhaps, but certainly not a record of what really happened. Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer challenges that view and shows how the first eleven chapters of Genesis stand as a solid, space-time basis for answering the tough questions posed by modern man."
