Our New Commentary Series

posted by Scot McKnight | 12:25pm Sunday November 22, 2009

I’m very excited (as the General Editor) of our new commentary series (Regula Fidei Commentaries) that will focus on explaining the New Testament books in the context of the Bible’s Story and discerning how to “live the Story” in our world today …

We have an excellent team of editors (with Lynn Cohick, Joel Willitts and Michael Bird) and an array of international scholars who will be invited to write the commentaries. John Dickson (Australia) and I are slated to write the first two — John on James and I will be writing one on the Sermon on the Mount.
the series will have some brand new interactive features that will make our series even more useful to the readers. 
Stay tuned for more…..

Our Common Prayerbook 30 - 3
Psalm 30 thanks God (vv. 1-3, 11-12) and exhorts others to thank God (vv. 4-5). Both emerge from the concrete reality of David's own experience. Here is what that experience looks like:Step one: David was set on high and was flourishing at the hand of God's bounty (v. 7a).Step two: David became too

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)
One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science. A comment on my post Evolution in the Key of D: Deity or Deism noted: ...this reminds me of why I get a

Almost Christian 4
Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth? Studies show two groups do really well: conservative Protestants and Mormons; two groups that don't do well are mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics. Kenda Dean's new book is called Almost Christian: What the Faith of Ou

Let's Get Neanderthal!
The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.) The big omission, I have to admit, is that those folks were hunters -- using spears or smacking some rabbit upside the conk or grabbing a fish or two with their hands ... but that's what makes this diet

I mean “Looking forward to it Scot! Keep me “posted,” as I’m sure you will ;-) ”… so is this what a “Sr moment” on a blog is like? Where is my erase button? I’m going to nap in front of ‘da Stillers game.

DAK,
by all means and we have a good group we will be asking. I can’t give names until contracts are signed.

Like #6 James, I’m keen to see who’ll publish it. Commentaries are great candidates for ebooks, but hardly ever make it: please Scot would you consider raising this with the publisher? It’s not that I don’t love having shelves full of matching books, but the mere practicalities of having teaching and preaching resources for an itinerant minister (Army chaplain) are a dominant concern.

I can’t wait for this! Just don’t forget to give the Sermon on the Plain some props in a footnote :)

Zondervan is the publisher; the series is called Regula Fidei.
I don’t want to say more … I’m not the publicist!

What else is a general editor for if not “publicist?”
I am looking forward to this – when do you think the first volumes will be out?
(For that matter when is your James commentary due out?)

RJS, maybe I should put it this way: the publicist and marketing folks at Zondervan will be preparing stuff and I’d like to wait on them for the series.
Our first volumes should appear 2011, alongside the new NIV.
And James should be out this late Spring or early Summer.

This series sounds very interesting, Scot. In particular, I look forward to seeing these volumes with the emphasis you described above. Should be a wonderful help to Christians everywhere.

Scot, without gushing too much, this sounds like the commenterary I’ve been waiting for. I am excited for the news and glad for your participation and leadership. We need an excellent Blue Parakeet commentary series. Will this be tied to the text of the new NIV?

Terry, that’s encouraging.
Yes, it will be based on the NIV 2011.
