Many Christians today struggle to know Scripture. Perhaps they struggle to understand how to use or navigate the Bible. Maybe they have not developed the habit of reading or reflecting upon it or are intimidated by such a long and ancient book, not knowing where to start. Perhaps they have never spent time alone or in a group reading God's Word. The Lutheran Reader's Bible is designed to help readers develop a habit of devotion and meditation ...

Isaiah 56-66 is the culmination of the prophet's message condemning humanity's sin and promising the Suffering Servant, who atones for that sin, rises in majesty, and prepares an eternal city, the new Jerusalem, for all the redeemed. Among its well-known oracles are "arise, shine, because your light is coming" (60:1), "the Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me" (61:1), and "behold, I am about to create new heavens and a new earth" (65:17). Thes...

A Lion has roared, who should not be terrified?" (3:8) According to the prophet Amos, most should be terrified. Everyone really. In this bombastic appeal to Israel, Amos hails God's people with dreadful appeals and skillfully subverts their expectations of a prophet to shock them into recognition of their sin. He bids them to worship only to condemn them for their idolatry. He extols the dominion of the Lord-usually a source of comfort and pro...

With vivid clarity these brief epistles build up their readers as they warn against false teachers who deceive and promote promiscuity. In this single volume, paired commentary, Rev. Dr. Curtis Giese considers the history of their reception in the church, including the early questions of canonicity and recent debates on their authorship. Giese argues that Jude was written by Jude the half-brother of Christ and that later Peter, inspired by the...

Jonah is a little book with a big impact. Christ references story of this defiant prophet as a type of his own three day death and resurrection, and no scene is more common in early Christian art that Jonah and the fish. In this commentary, Dr. Reed Lessing provides an original translation and a critical focus on Jonah as a true historical narrative, assumed by Christ Himself. Ironically, Jonah the Israelite begrudges God's abundant grace, whi...

Isaiah, it has been said, is the Old Testament evangelist par-excellence. While every book in the Old Testament points to Christ as the fulfilment in the New Testament, few do so as overtly or as insistently at the book of Isaiah. The text became a framework for Christology, ecclesiology, and missiology in the early church, and along with the Psalms it remains most quoted scripture in the New Testament.In this volume on chapters 40-55, Dr. Les...

In Zechariah's time, the people complained that theirs was "a day of small things." (Zechariah 4:10) Israel languished under the rule of the Persians, their ranks thinned and the second temple plain and unadorned. In light of this, Zechariah has sometimes been dismissed as passive and conformist, lacking the fiery words and indictments of Isaiah, Jerimiah, Amos, and other prophets that railed against the disrepair of God's people. In this comm...
