Reese N.T. Commentary: The Middle Years -- Life of Christ Series Part 2

This is Part 2 of a 3-volume phrase-by-phrase commentary on the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  These 3-volumes approach the Life of Christ chronologically, harmonizing the Gospel accounts as the various recorded events in Christ’s earthly ministry are studied.

The Middle Years covers the latter portion of Jesus’ great Galilean Ministry, which had begun in AD 28 and eventually expanded into the Gentile regions of Tyre and Sidon and the Decapolis.  The second year of this Galilean ministry strongly emphasized the training and preparation of His twelve apostles.  Following the Feast of Tabernacles in October, AD 29, Jesus and His followers embarked on the Later Judean Ministry, ending at the Feast of Dedication in December, AD 29.  In terms of Scripture passages, this volume includes:

• Matthew 8:18-34, 9:18-11:1, 12:22-13:53, 14:1-18:35
• Mark 3:20-9:50
• Luke 7:36-13:22
• John 6:1-10:39

This commentary is conservative evangelical Christian in its outlook, yet also examines the Scriptures from multiple theological viewpoints.  Because this commentary presumes the God-inspired nature of all Biblical writing, the author seeks to connect the Gospel accounts with other relevant Scriptures, and frequently examines the original language in which the books were written.  Four Special Studies address topics unique to The Middle Years, topics which necessarily impact our understanding of multiple chapters:

• The Interpretation of Parables
• Is the Lord’s Supper in View at John 6:53?
• Luke’s Travel Section – Luke 9:51-17:10
• The Integrity, Genuineness, & Authenticity of John 7:53-8:11 

A Table of Passages Covered is provided to help readers better visualize the flow of events in Christ’s earthly ministry and where those events are found in each Gospel.
