Esther & Ruth: Reformed Expository Commentary by Iain M. Duguid
Does God help those who help themselves? That may seem to be the m essage of the books of Esther and Ruth. Yet a closer reading shows a gracious and sovereign God at work, one who uses obviously flawed people—unable even to help themselves—to rescue his people and prepare for the coming of Christ.
Esther and Ruth is part of the Reformed Expository Commentary series, aimed at both pastors and lay teachers. Each volume in the series provides exposition that gives careful attention to biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ through the lens of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our contemporary setting.
Daniel: Reformed Expository Commentary by Iain M. Duguid
The book of Daniel is both familiar and unfamiliar to many Christians. The stories of the fiery furnace and Daniel in the lion’s den are the staples of children’s Bible story books and Sunday school classes. Yet the latter chapters of Daniel’s vision are more unfamiliar and daunting to most believers, who may have been exposed to a variety of end-times speculations constructed from an amalgam of these texts and others drawn from elsewhere in the Bible. But Iain M. Duguid reminds Christians that Daniel gives us more than moral lessons or a prophetic timetable. The whole of the book points us to Christ, whether as the one greater than Daniel who has perfectly lived an exilic life of service and separation for us or as the exalted heavenly Son of Man who took flesh amongst us.
Zechariah: Reformed Expository Commentary by Richard D. Phillips
The Book of Zechariah records the prophetic message of Zechariah to the community that had returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile and was charged with rebuilding the temple and city. The physical return was meant to prompt a spiritual and theological re turn to faith in the Lord. Zechariah called the people to such a true return and reassured them of the Lord’s willingness to receive them and restore to them the promised blessings. It is a book whose eschatological perspective is of special value to Christians today who labor for reformation and long for revival.
Galatians: Reformed Expository Commentary by Philip Graham Ryken
Philip Graham Ryken interprets Galatians in line with Reformation teaching on this epistle, especially with respect to the doctrine of justification by faith alone. “Properly understood, the gracious gospel of Galatians liberates us from legalism,” Ryken writes. “But since we are legalists by nature, the book challenges many of our preconceptions about what it means to have a right relationship with God.” Ryken employs primarily the ESV.
The Reformed Expository Commentary is biblical (committed to comprehensive exposition of the text), doctrinal (committed to the Westminster Standards), redemptive-historical (committed to a Christ-centered view of the Old Testament), and practical (committed to applying the text to people today). Coeditors are Philip Ryken and Richard Phillips; biblical editors are Iain Duguid and Dan Doriani.
1 Timothy: Reformed Expository Commentary by Philip Graham Ryken
This commentary originated with a series of Sunday evening sermons preached at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. In keeping with the subject matter of the book itself, the focus of the exposition is on its practical implications for life in the local church. The author chose to preach from this New Testament book early in his ministry, so as to get the full benefit of Paul’s instructions to Timothy as a young man in gospel ministry.
“Following on from his Galatians volume, Phil Ryken provides us with another cornucopia of insight and knowledge. Few portions of the Scripture affect the way we understand what the church in the twenty-first century should look like than does 1 Timothy, and few contemporary guides could better guide us through these issues than Phil Ryken. This volume signals preaching and teaching at its very best, a model for all preachers in our time.”
Hebrews: Reformed Expository Commentary by Richard D. Phillips
Few studies can be more profitable to Christians today than that of the Epistle to the Hebrews,” says Richard Phillips. “Written . . . to a group of Jewish Christians facing persecution in the mid-first century AD, the words of this book speak to Christians everywhere about standing firm in Jesus Christ.”
Hebrews captures the challenges and pitfalls of people throughout the ages and shows both why and how to press on in the faith. Its message of warning and hope centers on the surpassing supremacy of Jesus, seen often from the vantage point of the Old Testament.
James: Reformed Expository Commentary by Daniel M. Doriani
With 59 commands in 108 verses, the epistle of James has an obvious zeal for law. In his imperatives, James directly communicates the royal law, the law of King Jesus (2:8). Thus, the hasty reader will not see much of the gospel in James. But as Doriani reveals in his insightful commentary, the double mention of God's grace at the rhetorical climax of the book shows that the gospel of James is the message of God's grace for sinners.
Ephesians: Reformed Expository Commentary by Bryan Chapell
The apostle Paul wrote to the house
churches of the ancient metropolis of Ephesus with this amazing truth:
through such as you the purposes of Christ will fill the world; he is
transforming all things for you and through you. For this collection of
churches in a culture antagonistic to the gospel, the apostle Paul pens
themes so grand they can still take our breath away, and they often
move the apostle to doxology and prayer.
Bryan
Chapell, noted preacher and teacher of preaching, unfolds Paul's
glorious description of how the triumph of the church will occur and
what our roles are in Christ's ultimate victory. When we lift our eyes
beyond personal borders to share even a glimpse of Paul's expansive
vision, then we, too, will join his doxology for God's amazing grace
that saves individuals, empowers the church, and through both,
transforms the world.
Luke: Reformed Expository Commentary 2 Volume Set by Philip Graham Ryken
This
commentary is an exposition of Luke—“the Gospel of Knowing for Sure.”
Luke tells us that he wanted to provide an orderly account of the life
of Jesus that would help people be more certain of the good news of his
death and resurrection. The purpose of this commentary is simply to
make Luke’s message clear for a contemporary audience by explaining,
illustrating, and applying its truth to everyday life, with the hope
that readers will understand the gospel and come to full assurance of
salvation, as Luke intended.
Matthew: Reformed Expository Commentary 2 Volume Set by Daniel M. Doriani
While paying careful attention to a
commentary's traditional interest in the structure, backgrounds, and
grammar of the text, Doriani also supplies the theological commentary,
Christ-centered focus, and personal and corporate applications that
pastors and teachers need. Each chapter attends to Matthew s original
intent and seeks to express that intent in ways that evoke his distinct
voice, so as to fulfill the goal of Matthew's gospel making disciples
by forming the mind, heart, and hands of believers.
The Incarnation in the Gospels Reformed Expository Commentary by Daniel M. Doriani, Philip Graham Ryken and Richard D. Phillips
This seasonal addition to the Reformed
Expository Commentary series presents twelve biblically and
theologically grounded Christmas messages, as the authors explore the
canonical teaching on the birth of Jesus Christ in the gospels of
Matthew, Luke, and John.
As a sample of the
exposition found in the series, this volume is accessible to both
pastors and lay readers. Each commentary gives careful attention to the
biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ through the
lens of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our contemporary
setting.
In addition, this volume includes four special appendices of Advent
material and worship aids useful in the planning of a Christ-centered
Christmas service. With five new carols, essays and reflections on the
Advent season, and a program of lessons and carols, this material is
valuable to any pastor or worship leader seeking meaningful ways to
celebrate the coming of Christ during the season commemorating his
birth.
Jonah &
Micah: Reformed Expository Commentary by Richard D. Phillips
Jonah is a figure of such contemporary features that he could walk out of one of our churches. Moreover, Jonah reminds us that the chief characteristic of redeemed people is not that they never sin, for sadly we still do, but that they are ready to repent of their sin when reminded of God’s grace.
The prophet Micah lived several generations later than Jonah. Whereas God called Jonah to cry out to the wicked idolaters in Nineveh, he called Micah to cry out against the wicked sinners of Jerusalem. Unlike the earlier prophet, who wrestled against God’s gospel message for pagan unbelievers, Micah was brokenhearted in his fervent desire for Jerusalem to repent and believe.
Acts: Reformed Expository Commentary by Derek W. H. Thomas
One
of the most respected Bible teachers of his generation guides us
through Luke's record of the growth of the church from Pentecost,
throughout Asia Minor, and beyond.

1 Kings: Reformed Expository Commentary
by Philip Graham Ryken
Dynasties, fractured kingdoms, prophecies of coming hardships – the book of 1 Kings is a grand, sweeping narrative of the beginning of the downfall of God's people. Its size and scope may seem intimidating, but Phil Ryken shows us in this biblical, doctrinal, practical, and Christological commentary how this imposing book can be divided into three key sections.
First, the stories of Solomon focus on the themes of money, sex, and power, inviting us to learn from Solomon's example. Will we use these things wisely for kingdom purposes, or foolishly abuse them for selfish gain? Then the middle of the story, on the divided kingdom, shows the destructive consequences of sin among the people of God – especially the sin of idolatry. The final section demonstrates the power of prayer to the true and living God, as exemplified in the life and ministry of God's prophet Elijah.
Phil Ryken brings out the key themes of these three sections and illustrates how they come together in their focus on the gospel of Jesus Christ, especially his kingly and prophetic offices. This is an excellent resource for those who want a devotional aid and will help Bible expositors reliably teach a redemptive-historical view of this important Old Testament book.
