\n \n“The ESV Expository Commentary will be a welcome addition to the toolbox of those who are committed to expounding the inerrant and infallible Word of God. It is biblically sound, theologically faithful, and practically helpful. I look forward to using it in my own preaching and teaching ministry.” \nDaniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary \n \n“The ESV Expository Commentary is one of the best, most useful building blocks for a Bible teacher’s basic library. Readily accessible to lay readers and at the same time sufficiently learned to assist experienced expositors, this twelve-volume set seems destined to become a standard Bible reference tool for serious students of Scripture around the world.” \nPhilip Graham Ryken, President, Wheaton College \n \n“The ESV Expository Commentary is truly a treasure of outstanding biblical exposition and thoughtful biblical theology. Not only will readers find high-quality scholarship, but they will discover a readable, accessible, and well-designed commentary. Pastors, Bible teachers, and interested students will find this excellent resource to be an incredibly helpful and trustworthy guide. Highly recommended!” \nDavid S. Dockery, Distinguished Professor of Theology, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary \n \n“Sheer exposition! Based on top-level scholarship which has been distilled into a form that is helpful to all students of the Bible, the easy-to-access format of the material is ideal for quick reference. This is a commentary I will refer to often in my study and preparation.” \nAjith Fernando, Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka; author, Discipling in a Multicultural World \n \n“From eternity to eternity, God’s Word reveals his eternal and global plan to bless the nations with the knowledge of his Son. It warms my heart to know these volumes are being provided to the church, with the intention to bless the nations with access to faithful, solid exposition of the Scriptures. May God use this to fill the earth with the knowledge of his glory as the waters cover the sea.” \nIan Chew, Pastor, Kay Poh Road Baptist Church, Singapore \n \n
