Scholarly insights with a pastoral heart for all the books of the New Testament.
"Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!"—Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher
In the midst of two decades of planting churches in Asia Minor and Greece, the apostle Paul learned one of the most important themes for Christian ministry: unity in the church. Unity for Paul involved preserving proper theological gospel truths, bringing together both Jews and gentiles, establishing order for the families in the church, and learning how to speak about the gospel in new cultures. Though Colosse and Ephesus were not that far apart, the themes of each church are distinct.
In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight combines interpretive insights with pastoral wisdom for all the books of the New Testament. Each volume provides:
The NIV is used as the primary Bible text, but McKnight also includes insights from his own translation of the entire New Testament. Each Bible study features a short, compact, clear exposition that both summarizes the whole and gives the reader a clear focus for what is central to the passage.
