N2  - How can you apply what you learned about Jerusalem, Ephesus, or Corinth to our present day needs? How can you take a message originally spoken in Greek and Hebrew and Aramaic and communicate it clearly in our own language? How can you take the eternal truths originally spoken in a different time and culture and apply them to the similar-yet-different needs of our culture? The NIV Application Commentary shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our postmodern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant, but also how it speaks powerfully today.
This award-winning series helps you understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its original context. All the elements of traditional exegesis—in concise form—are discussed. But the authors don’t stop there—they bridge the gap between the world of the Bible and the world of today, between the original context and the contemporary context, by focusing on both the timely and timeless aspects of the text. The authors dwell on the contemporary significance of the Bible by focusing on contemporary contexts in which the Bible can be applied today. The NIV Application Commentary discusses the Bible in a way that engages contemporary life and culture.
The NIV Application Commentary is unique. Most commentaries help us make the journey from the twentieth century back to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. 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 helps brings both parts of the interpretive task together. The primary goal of the NIV Application Commentary is to help you with the difficult—but vital!—task of bringing an ancient message into our postmodern context. The series not only focuses on application as a finished product, but also helps you through the process of moving from the original meaning of a passage to its contemporary significance
