Jon Courson's Application Commentary: Volume 1, Old Testament, (Genesis-Job)

Jon Courson's commentary on the entire Bible (old and new testament)is uplifting and inspiring. He takes each verse and brings it to "life" with historic references and application to our everyday life. It's a great read and a great reference.

This book opened up the Old Testament to my wife. She absolutely loves it! We also own the New Testament Commentary. We are looking forward to Volume II. Can't say enough good things about this book! It's great to have the bible verses & commentary in one volume. Of all the electronic and paper commentaries we own, Jon's are the ones we value the most! 6 Stars at least!

You won't find a better application commentary available anywhere. You may find some good "Bible" commentaries, but not "application" commentaries. Mr. Courson brings the verses to everyday application. Simply awesome. I have the New Testament version and cannot wait till the last book is available!

I was introduced to Jon Courson several years ago. I began reading his down to earth commentary with my daily verse-by-verse devotional readings. I was amazed at the insight brought to me through this commentary. I began reading it to my then 18 year old daughter. For the first time - she fell in love with the reading of the scripture. We purchased the NT volume for sons not living for the Lord. When they began reading - we saw a remarkable change in their lives. I cannot say enough positive words regarding these commentaries. It has strengthened my understanding and love for the Word of God. You will be blessed immeasureably through the reading of God's Word with an understanding that should thrill your soul.

I have both of Jon's Commentaries that are currently available; Vol I of the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. In the past I've used primarily the commentaries from William Barclay. What I can tell you first of all is, if you're looking for doctoral thesis type commentary, get Barclay. If however, you're looking for relevant, easy to read work that provides the background and depth 90% of Christian's would want, YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH JON'S WORK! I already have Vol. II of the Old Testament on Pre-order. God Bless!
