G. Coleman Luck

In this installment of the Everyman's Bible Commentary series, G. Coleman Luck explores the prophecies of Zechariah, given at the time of rebuilding the Temple in 520-13 B.C. The book is divided into three segments: Zechariah's prophetic visions (1:1-6:15), a question and God's answer regarding the observation of fasts (7:1-8:23), and the coming Messiah (9:1-14:21).

This book is at once a good introduction for the novice and very thorough. The third segment especially goes verse by verse. show more Coleman does a nice job incorporating other commentaries, and the notes are excellent for anyone wishing further study. He also occasionally mentions alternate interpretations (and cites them) while making the case for the ones he believes to be true. Recommended for personal study of biblical prophecy. show less

Practicality is the emphasis in this study of James, the epistle of life as it should be lived by the Christian. James is seen as dealing primarily with justification before men in contrast to Paul's epistles which focus on justification before God. Dr. Luck has written a clear-sighted analysis of the overall content of the epistle, making application to everyday life. In a style which is both meaningful and refreshing, the author has concentrated on the meaning of given passages. show more Quotations, illustrations, and definitions are interspersed through the text, thus adding life to each explanation. show less

This is an introduction to Bible Synthesis. The entire Bible is discussed in outline form, book by book, to determine its general theme.
