Exalting Jesus in Luke

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.

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.

"One of my favorite professors used to say, the faithful preacher holds the Bible in one hand, the newspaper in the other, and builds a bridge for his people. Thabiti does this masterfully in this volume. With a wonderful balance of pastoral wisdom and courageous application, Thabiti rightfully applies the Bible to more than just what would make front page news. This commentary provides excellent insight and application to concerns of the marginalized whose concerns are largely ignored and often don't make the front page (of newspapers and commentaries alike). In doing so, he shows a marvelous and accurate picture of the humility of Jesus in the gospel of Luke. An excellent work, that will stay at the front of my study."
