This is the first volume in The Women's Evangelical Library. This commentary is written and edited by women for women. The editors and writers of this commentary believe the complementarian view of the relationship between men and women most accurately represents God intent as expressed in Scripture. This view is often caricatured and greatly distorted by both the secular media and some church leaders. This commentary will enable readers to move beyond those caricatures and see God's marvelous design and plan for men and women.
The Holman Christian Standard Bible will be the primary English translation since this translation shares with the commentary editors and writers a passion for accurately presenting what the Scriptures say without distortion or augmentation by 21st Century social agendas. In addition to careful interpretation of the text, this commentary will include extended discussion and application of passages that speak to issues of special concern to women. This commentary features introductory background (author, recipients, setting, outline and themes), charts, maps, and word studies, verse-by-verse exposition, character sketches of women, pronunciation guide for difficult names or places, archaeological notes, devotional insights and inspirational notes, and a suggested bibliography for further study.

Broadman & Holman is pleased to announce the first volume in The Women's Evangelical Library-The Women's Evangelical Commentary: New Testament. Here is a commentary written and edited by women for women. Other commentaries for women take an egalitarian view of the relationship between men and women. The editors and writers of this commentary believe the complementarian view of the relationship between men and women most accurately represents God intent as expressed in Scripture. This view is often caricatured and greatly distorted by both the secular media and some church leaders. The Woman's Evangelical Commentary will enable readers to move beyond those caricatures and see God's marvelous design and plan for men and women. The Holman Christian Standard Bible will be the primary English translation for The Women's Evangelical Commentary. This translation shares with the commentary editors and writers a passion for accurately presenting what the Scriptures say without distortion or augmentation by 21st Century social agendas. In addition to careful interpretation of the text, the Commentary will include extended discussion and application of passages that speak to issues of special concern to women. The Women's Evangelical Commentary will be of great value to the thousands of women who desire personal study of Scripture with the help of Biblical resources. In addition, this comprehensive volume will be an excellent tool for women who teach the Bible both in churches and in weekday Bible studies in ministries like Precept and Bible Study Fellowship.

One of the most needed books written by women for women with a complementarian view of men and women. As a pastor who believes in this relationship it is hard to recommend books because there are so few.

I have been enjoying this commentary very much. Easy to use with insights just for women. Basic Greek words and their meanings is making it simple for me to use. It is written so it is very easy to read. I wish it had a little more detail on some verses.
