Our New Commentary Series

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.....

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.
