Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the OT / NT Bundle (20 volumes)

For more information see this article and this 2-part review.

An upgrade is available from the 14-volume OT/NT Bundle.

The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary is a modern commentary series designed to help pastors and Bible teachers understand the biblical text in its original environment. Each of the contributing evangelical scholars carefully consider factors such as grammatical detail, literary context, rhetorical flow, theological nuance, and historical setting in their interpretation. While primarily designed for those with a basic knowledge of biblical languages, this series is accessible for all who want to understand and teach the Old and New Testament.

Each passage is organized into the following sections:

• Literary Context: Explains how each passage functions within the book
• Main Idea: Summarizes the central message of the passage
• Translation in Graphic Layout: Presents a translation through a diagram that helps readers visualize the flow of thought within the text
• Exegetical Outline: Gives the overall structure of the passage
• Explanation of the Text: Provides interpretive insights into the background and meaning of the text
• Theology in Application: Discusses how the message of the text fits within the book itself and in a broader biblical-theological context, suggesting applications for the church today
