NIV Application Commentary - Exodus

The NIV Application Commentary
 Exodus
by Peter Enns

Exodus [NIVAC] written by Pete Enns, a highly original and sometimes provocative thinker draws on the immense uncertainty faced by the Israelites as the left their captive Egypt and translates their context into a rich wealth for dealing with uncertainties in our world. Of course with uncertainties, the need to trust God and follow his lead becomes greater and Enns continually draws out these themes in connected fashion.

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable--but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into a modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today.
