Short Description
There are already so many Bible commentaries, what makes this Bible commentary special? What makes this commentary different from other Bible commentaries? The title says it all: the Lexham Geographic Commentary series pays very specific attention to the geographical context of the biblical stories, an aspect often overlooked when explaining the biblical text.
The Bible is peppered with geographical references that are not just "interesting" to know, but are often extremely relevant to a better understanding of the Biblical stories. This commentary puts you in the sandals of the disciples, as it were, while constantly explaining the relevance of the geographical details in the biblical texts for the contemporary reader.
Evaluation
Not for nothing did this book win a Book Award in Biblical Studies for Christianity Today in 2019. The commentary is rightly praised for its unique focus on the geographical context of the Bible. As such, it often provides surprising insights that are overlooked in other commentaries due to unfamiliarity with the geographical context of the Bible.
