The NIV Application Commentary helps you communicate and apply biblical text effectively in today's context.

To bring the ancient messages of the Bible into today's context, each passage is treated in three sections:

  • Original Meaning. Concise exegesis to help readers understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its historical, literary, and cultural context.
  • Bridging Contexts. A bridge between the world of the Bible and the world of today, built by discerning what is timeless in the timely pages of the Bible.
  • Contemporary Significance. This section identifies comparable situations to those faced in the Bible and explores relevant application of the biblical messages. The author alerts the readers of problems they may encounter when seeking to apply the passage and helps them think through the issues involved.

This unique, award-winning commentary is the ideal resource for today's preachers, teachers, and serious students of the Bible, giving them the tools, ideas, and insights they need to communicate God's Word with the same powerful impact it had when it was first written.

The book you receive may have a different cover design than shown on the website.

Praise for this book

"The NIV Application Commentary series doesn't fool around: It gets right down to business, bringing this ancient and powerful Word of God into the present so that it can be heard and delivered with all the freshness of a new day, with all the immediacy of a friend's embrace."--Eugene Peterson
"Brings the ancient and powerful Word of God into the present so that it can be heard and believed with all the freshness of a new day."--Eugene H. Peterson
"There are commentaries that provide insights into the historical, cultural, and literary contexts of the Bible. Others get us into the pastoral application of the text for our cultural moment. Wouldn't it be nice to have a commentary series that does both with excellence? That's exactly what NIVAC accomplishes. This series is one of the first places I turn to in my theological process for exegesis and building the bridge of application."--Joel Muddamalle, director of theology and research, Proverbs 31 Ministries
The NIV Application Commentary series has been an essential resource for a generation of pastors and laypeople seeking a deeper understanding of the biblical text and its relevance today. The series features careful exposition of the text by some of the most well-respected evangelical scholars alive today with an eye to contemporary relevance. I'm delighted to commend it to a new generation for personal and group Bible study, preaching, and classroom use.--Carmen Joy Imes, associate professor of Old Testament, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
"This series promises to become an indispensable tool for every pastor and teacher who seeks to make the Bible's timeless message speak to this generation."--Billy Graham
"It takes more than interpretation of God's Word to change lives, it takes application. Application is the bottom line in preaching and teaching. Without it, we've missed the point of the Bible. The NIV Application Commentary is an outstanding resource for pastors and anyone else who is serious about developing 'doers of the Word.'"--Rick Warren, Pastor, Saddleback Valley Community Church
"The NIV Application Commentary series promises to be of great service to all who preach and teach the Word of God."--J. I. Packer, Regent College
"At a time when many pastors are deeply in need of inspiration and encouragement, these volumes... would be a good investment for congregations, even if it means adding a line to the annual budget."--Christianity Today
