{"product_id":"exodus-niv-application-commentary","title":"Exodus (NIV Application Commentary)","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eMost Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable--but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into a modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:black;\"\u003eAbout the NIVAC Series\u003c\/h2\u003e The NIV Application Commentary Series is unique. Most Bible commentaries help us make the journey from our world back to the world of the Bible. They enable us to cross the barriers of time, language, and geography that separate us from the biblical world. Yet they only offer a one–way ticket to the past and assume that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. Once they have explained the \u003ci\u003eoriginal menaing\u003c\/i\u003e of a book or passage, these commentaries give us little or no help in exploring its \u003ci\u003econtemporary significance.\u003c\/i\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eRecently, a few commentaries have included some contemporary application as \u003ci\u003eone\u003c\/i\u003e of their goals. Yet that application is often sketchy or moralistic, and some volumes sound more like printed sermons than commentaries.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary goal of the NIV Application Commentary Series is to help you with the difficult but vital task of bringing an ancient message into a modern context. The series not only focuses on application as a finished product but also helps you think through the \u003ci\u003eprocess\u003c\/i\u003e of moving from the original meaning of a passage to its contemporary significance. These are commentaries, not popular expositions. They are works of reference, not devotional literature.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe format of the series is designed to achieve the goals of the series. Each passage is treated in three sections: \u003ci\u003eOriginal Meaning, Bridging Contexts,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eContemporary Significance.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Zondervan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover \/ Single","offer_id":67965603610991,"sku":"gut1793410275007","price":34.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/3899\/8639\/files\/exodus-niv-application-commentary_1.jpg?v=1793410282","url":"https:\/\/compassnavigate.shop\/products\/exodus-niv-application-commentary","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
