Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary Series

About the Series

Augustine said, “Where Scripture speaks, God speaks.” The Christ-Centered Exposition authors agree. As they believe that the Word is God-breathed, authoritative and timeless, so too do they strive to handle the text carefully and accurately.

This commentary series is a devotional-style series, affirming that the Bible is a Christ-centered book, containing a unified story of redemptive history of which Jesus is the hero. It's presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a "Reflect & Discuss" section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It's not academic but rather presents an accessible, practical and friendly commentary that provides pastors and lay leaders with a practical application of God’s written word, exalting Jesus as the hero of every book.
