The 15-volume Swindoll’s Living Insights New Testament Commentary series draws on Gold Medallion Award–winner Chuck Swindoll’s 50 years of experience with studying and preaching God’s Word. His deep insight, signature easygoing style, and humor bring a warmth and practical accessibility not often found in commentaries.

The newly updated volumes now include parallel presentations of the NLT and NASB before each section. This series is a must-have for pastors, teachers, and anyone else who is seeking a deeply practical resource for exploring God’s Word.
Top Highlights
“Luke stressed this detail to highlight an irony: the King of kings was not born in a palace, like Augustus or Herod, or even in a comfortable home like other Jewish children. He came to earth to save humanity by becoming human, and He brought hope to the lowly by becoming lowly.” (Page 66)
“In the first two parables, Jesus opened with a rhetorical question, inviting His listeners to identify with God, who searches for lost sinners. He broke the pattern in this third parable, opening instead with a simple, sobering statement: ‘A man had two sons.’ Now the stakes have been raised. Lost sheep can be written off and lost coins replaced, but not sons. Furthermore, the moral component intensifies. Sheep wander off and coins roll away; they simply behave according to their natures. But sons are responsible for their choices. How does God deal with lost people?” (Page 423)
“Take note of Jesus’ decision to end His reading where He did. He stopped short of reading, ‘And the day of vengeance of our God.’ He ended His reading on the subject of grace. The purpose of His first coming was to proclaim the good news of salvation by grace through faith in the Messiah.” (Page 116)
“For no less than nine months and eight days—perhaps longer—he gestured and scribbled notes. His God-imposed silence taught him what years in the priesthood did not: When God speaks, your only responsibility is to trust His word.” (Page 37)
“He would be a cornerstone (Isa. 28:16) upon which to build.26 He would become the means of destruction for those who oppose the redemptive plan of God, but the source of salvation for those who submit to Him.” (Page 77)
