For Everyone Commentaries (FE): Reviews

“This series is truly for everyone who wants to grow in his or her understanding of the Old Testament.”

– Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College

“No other commentary series comes even close.”

– The Christian Century

Purpose of For Everyone Commentary Series

New Testament volumes:

“N. T. Wright has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament, and to include in them his own translation of the entire text.

Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion, with background information, useful explanations and suggestions, and thoughts as to how the text can be relevant to our lives today. A glossary is included at the back of the book. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily devotions.”

Old Testament volumes:

“Westminster John Knox Press is pleased to present the seventeen-volume Old Testament for Everyone series.

Internationally respected Old Testament scholar John Goldingay addresses Scripture from Genesis to Malachi in such a way that even the most challenging passages are explained simply and concisely.

The series is perfect for daily devotions, group study, or personal visits with the Bible.”
