Book Description
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into a modern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it can speak powerfully today.

Book Description
People outside the church have often found Paul hard to stomach. His views on women, sex and marriage, his failure to attack the institution of slavery, his verbal attacks on his opponents have all come under fire. Regrettably, Paul hasn't always fared that much better among believers, who themselves, like the apostle Peter, sometimes wonder what to make of him. Let's face it - Paul just isn't politically correct. Brian Dodd offers a fresh look at the somewhat enigmatic and misunderstood Paul. With a pastor's heart and a scholar's insight, he helps us to bridge the gap between Paul's world and our own, providing the perspective we need to begin to make sense of Paul the man and his message. Whether you stand outside the church looking in or whether even from the inside you struggle to make sense of Paul in the contemporary world, The Problem with Paul will deepen your understanding and help you to grapple with one of the New Testament's most important authors.
