The Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds
Commentary Series

The Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary walks you verse by verse through all the books of the NT. Written in a clear, engaging style, this series provides a new and accessible approach that more technical expository and exegetical commentaries don’t offer.
It features:
• Commentary based on relevant papyri, inscriptions, archaeological discoveries and studies of Judaism, Roman culture, Hellenism and other features of the world of the NT,
• Hundreds of full-colour photographs, colour illustrations, and line drawings, maps, charts and timelines,
• Sidebar articles and insights, and
• Reflections on the Bible’s relevance for 21st-century living.
