Thru the Bible Vol. 4: Matthew Through Romans: 4

I absolutely love Dr. McGee. I have the complete series "Thru the Bible" and they are the best commentaries I have ever studied. To quote Dr. McGee, "This is where the rubber meets the road". Almost every verse in the entire Bible is explained in everyday language, and teachings of the Bible are applied to today's life. In my opinion, these are the best commentaries printed, and I have studied a lot of them.

excellent Bible reference. this one completes my set. very insightful. easy to understand.

If you find reading scripture and understanding it a bit difficult, this book really makes it easy. The book contains all the scripture and each scripture is discussed in easy to follow language. I've found it makes me want to read it every day. I also bought the second book Corinthians thru Revelation.

If you are not familiar with J. Vernon McGee or his style, I would suggest that you try a single volume paperback commentary first to see if you like it. McGee reminds me of someone's grandfather...wise, opinionated, down-to-earth, and even gruff at times. If you have ever heard his radio broadcasts (from which these commentaries are derived), you know what I mean. McGee has a strong and distinct style, and he is always pressing us to seek God's will in our lives fervently. You can't fault the honesty of his vision or spirit! These commentaries give you McGee's interpretation of each chapter of that particular book of the Bible. The thing I like best about his commentaries are that they are fresh and interesting. He rarely gets tied down in seemingly obscure details or debates. If he has an opinion, he'll tell you exactly what it is and why without beating around the bush like so many other bible commentaries. Although I don't agree with all of his opinions, I respect his perspective, and rarely do his works leave me without something to "chew on." This is also the only commentary that I have that can actually leave me laughing aloud at some point he's made. He had a great sense of humor!I would recommend this series of five volumes to any student of the bible. They are a great commentary for the every day person, unintimidating and understandable.

DR McGee is without doubt one of the best present day commentators. Originaly this material appeared on his radio broadcast show Thru the Bible. It is with great pleasure that I recommend this study for anyone who is seeking either serious scripture study or sheer enjoyment of the word of God. DR McGee was definitely a teacher gifted by God and his humor and vision is most enjoyable.
