It's one thing to know Bible stories; it's another to know the
story of the Bible. It's one thing to be aware of the story's many
heroes; it's another to have met the Hero himself. From the Old
Testament that anticipates him, to the Gospels that manifest him,
to the Book of Acts that proclaims him, to the Epistles that
explain him, and to the Book of Revelation that tells of him coming
again, your Bible is about Jesus. That's why I love the vision of
the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. It models for
preachers and teachers how to proclaim--with pastoral focus and
exegetical care--the beauty of the gospel from every page of
Scripture. Matt Smethurst
Associate Editor for The Gospel Coalition Few things are more
important for faithful biblical interpretation than reading
Scripture in light of its master narrative. The Christ-Centered
Exposition series aims to do just that. In a postmodern age, these
commentaries provide pastors and lay people an invaluable resource
that is unswervingly committed to the authority of Scripture and
the centrality of the Gospel in the Bible's storyline. Dr. R.
Albert Mohler Jr., President
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
