But these are more than just good stories. They lay the groundwork for God’s relationship with humanity and for his plan for our salvation, making Genesis foundational to understanding everything else that happens in the Bible. Genesis reveals much about human nature and the nature of God. From the actions of the first man and woman, we see where our rebellious, sinful nature originates. And through the whole book we see the hand of a sovereign God who is loving and merciful, but also just and holy. Time and again in Genesis, God showers his grace upon undeserving humanity, giving us our first tastes of God’s enduring faithfulness that shines throughout the entire Bible. R. Kent Hughes, respected pastor and author of many other commentaries in this series, takes readers back to the beginning of the Bible and moves through Genesis with careful exegesis. He explores the superbly crafted structure of the book as well as the weighty themes it contains.

But does this book have anything to say to Christians today?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAware of how easy it is to get lost in the rules and rituals outlined in Leviticus, Kenneth Mathews focuses this commentary on the common themes between Old Testament life and the New Testament Christian’s experience. His chapter-bychapter analysis illuminates the significance of ancient Israel’s sacrificial system and symbols, drawing parallels to Jesus as their perfect, once-for-all fulfillment. This commentary will train you to see the foreshadowing of Jesus’s sacrifice and the many ways a holy God atoned for our sin through Christ, so that you may teach and apply the truths of this foundational book with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003cem\u003ePreaching the Word \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eseries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/static.crossway.org\/excerpts\/media\/08c07e05530d735502b5d9e79d8217e1cfb4b3de\/Leviticus_Preaching_the_Word_excerpt.pdf\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead Sample Pages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA Word to Those Who Preach the Word\u003cbr\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-section-content\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHearing from God before Seeing God (1:1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommitment (1:2–17)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThank You, Lord!

A good commentary on 2 Kings is rare. It’s a part of the Bible usually skipped over by commentators. Yet as the book of Acts gives the narrative that is necessary to understand the epistles, so the books of Samuel and Kings give the narrative necessary to understand the later prophets. But this is more than a commentary on 2 Kings. Following John Woodhouse’s excellent writings on 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 Kings, this brings to completion a wonderful exposition of the rise and fall of the kings of Israel and Judah. Exposition is the right word for this commentary, for it is based in, and will be most useful for, preaching this part of the Scriptures. It brings us the understanding of God and his great purposes in the world. Furthermore, unlike most expository commentaries, this volume is also a reference book for the pastor to have on his shelf awaiting consultation on the many varied questions raised about 2 Kings or this period of Israel’s history.
