    Love this video commentary. Lesson 40 is cut-off mid sentence. How do I report this error?

      I have opened a ticket for this problem. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

    Grudem's book is massive. The background information is thorough, and often helpful. However, often the conclusions appears to have arrived at based on partisan political leanings, rather than a honest Biblical assessment. I was so excited when I ordered this book. I was comparatively disappointed when I received it.

      Steven, I'm interested in reading this, can you share an example of the faulty predetermined conclusion from a partisan view? Is it prevalent throughout?

    Revelation can be a difficult book to get a grasp of, especially when you get a hold of the fanciful exegesis that often is associated with end times that leaves Revelation inrrelevant to the original recipients. Gorman shows us how easy it can be to get a clear grasp of the message of Revelation. As we grapple with the issue of living a devoted life of a citizen of God's kingdom in ungodly empire, the importance of Revelation is clear for the twenty-first century as well as the first. This exposition is just valuable as some of the volumonous commentaries.

      Gorman is a phenomenal Bible teacher and exegete. If you have a shelf full of commentaries on Romans but lack this one, you need one more. This commentary is rich in technical exegesis, theological reflection and preaching insights. This was the go to for a recent preaching series through Romans. What makes this commentary so great is that Gorman is not so beholden to a theological ideology that he must force the text to speak words it never intends.

        When this book was first printed it was probably a gold mine. 70 years later the illustrations are far too dated to be of real use. Avoid if your looking for relevance.

          "A rather uninspiring reading of Deuteronomy. The introduction creates a straw man by suggesting that conservatives believe that Moses wrote every word of the Pentateuch and then opts for the pious fraud theory of Deuteronomy’s composition." LM -Tremper Longman
