Description: The Epistle of Jesus to the Church is a commentary on the book of Revelation that assumes Jesus was the author and John the reporter of the words and events described. Here one will not find an explanation of an anti-Roman message written by John in hidden codes and apocalyptic motifs to fool Roman authorities. John the apostle and prophet was the faithful scribe, who did not create the message but faithfully and accurately described all that he saw and heard. This commentary follows the principle that the Scriptures explain themselves, because the Revelation is a word from Jesus...

The best way to describe Adam and Eve, A Biography and Theology, is to give a very brief synopsis of each chapter. One: the authenticity and historicity of the biblical account; the method of interpretation. Two: nature and attributes of Adam and Eve's parent, God; salvific necessity of a common human nature derived from Adam. Three: characteristics of the created human nature; image and likeness of God; reasons God had for creating mankind. Four: the four responsibilities God gave Adam to guide mankind's interaction with his Creator, the earth, and its creatures. Five: life in the garden...

Why buy a book on the Antichrist? Because while other books focus on when he will arrive and what he will do, this book does much more. The Antichrist has an historical past as well as a prophesied future. He will inherit the biblical-world kingdoms of his ancestors. He will exploit their religions and create his own. He is a recurring theme in Satan's designs to rule the world and receive worship. He will fulfill those evil designs. He will cause the death of millions and be responsible for world-wide destruction. He will be almost as evil as Satan himself. The Antichrist, His Genealogy,...

A Private Commentary on Ruth is an explanatory commentary. I ask the scriptures questions and listen to the answers, including reasonable answers to the difficult questions raised by the Epistle. Other commentaries from the Puritans to the present are consulted and used. The result is an in-depth explanation and discussion of each verse, idea, theme, and biblical truth met during the course of the exposition. The commentary was written for the the Bible study group leader, Sunday School teacher, local church Pastor, and Bible college student. The point of view is a conservative theology....

Ephesians has been called instruction for advanced Christians. The first three chapters explain the doctrinal basis for faith, the last three explain the practical application of doctrine to Christian living. Together they instruct the believer as to who he or she is in Christ, and how to live the Christian life. This commentary was written to help anyone study Ephesians. The detailed discussions and explanations should especially appeal to the local church pastor and Bible teacher, and Bible college or seminary student. Ephesians is part of the author's Private Commentary series on the Old...

The book of Jonah is unique among the prophets in that we hear very little of the prophet's message. Rather, the book is about God's message to Jonah and Jonah's response. Here is an Old Testament example of the parable of the sheep that has gone astray. Jonah remains unrepentant to the end, and one of the themes of the book is, "Don't be like Jonah. The book also reminds us that God is Lord of all, and the good news of his mercy, love, and salvation must be proclaimed to all the world. James Quiggle has Masters degrees in theology and religion. Jonah follows Ruth as the second Old Testament...

Few doctrines are more difficult or more controversial than foreordination, election, and predestination-nor more misunderstood. Human beings fight against the idea that God makes choices that affect their lives, preferring to think of themselves as the captains of their destiny, sailing the ship of their life wherever free will chooses. God's choices, however, incorporate man's choices. God's sovereignty works through man's responsibility to infallibly accomplish God's will and a person's free choices. How does God do that? Come, study the Scriptures with me, and learn about God's Choices.

Esther is about God's grace, providence, and promises. It is also a story about compromise, worldliness, and pride-and that's the good guys How the believer can compromise his or her faith for worldly gain, and how God will be true to himself to protect and preserve his people, is the story of Esther. The interpretation is based on a translation by the Author. The Private Commentary series is written for Bible teachers, pastors, and college students. Each book in the series explains the Scripture and includes insightful comments and biblical background from other commentators.
