Ich habe gesagt, dass es der Gnadenkommentar ist der weltweit erste Gnadenkommentar, aber ist es wahr?
In den über 40 Jahren, in denen ich Bibelkommentare gelesen und Bibeln studiert habe, habe ich Folgendes herausgefunden:
- unzählige Kommentare, die das Gesetz predigen
- viele Kommentare, die Gnade mit Gesetz vermischen
- keine auf Gnade basierenden Kommentare
Deshalb brauchen wir einen.
Mit mehr als 10.000 Einträgen der Gnadenkommentar ist auf dem besten Weg, der erste wirklich auf Gnade basierende Kommentar zu werden. Im Gegensatz zu allen Kommentaren, die ich gelesen habe, ist er völlig frei von Vermischungen. Es gibt vielleicht keinen anderen Kommentar wie diesen.
„Aber Paul, hast du den Kommentar von _____ gesehen?“ Ich habe.
„Bietet _____ keinen auf Gnade basierenden Kommentar?“ Das mag man vielleicht denken, aber wenn man genauer hinschaut, erkennt man eine Menge Gesetz und Verurteilung darin.
Aber glauben Sie mir nicht beim Wort. Überzeugen Sie sich selbst.
I recently surveyed popular study Bibles and Bible commentaries to see how many preached law, grace, or a mixture of the two. I also rated them in terms of their reading clarity. I shared the results on Flucht in die Realität, but I thought you might like to see the full report.
Up until now, this ebook has only been available to patrons. But since you are a valued Grace Commentary reader, I thought you might like to see the whole thing.
In the ebook, I outline my method for measuring law and grace. You can use this method to assess your favorite commentary or study Bible.
You can download the free ebook (pdf) from the Grace Bible website.
Gnade und Frieden,
Paul
I am looking so forward to reading and digesting this ‘COMMENTARY REVEIW’.
Oh my goodness this is wonderful, thank you so much for sharing Paul!
Remakable, scope and clarity, thank you Paul!
If you merely google grace commentaries, the word ‘Grace’ is in the ‘________. I find it is a helpful reference tool even if uneven quality from pov of free grace.
There are many books with the word grace in the title, but if they offer “uneven quality” when it comes to grace that usually means they are mixing in a bit of law. A little bit of poison spoils the well.
Paul, There is zero law in ‘______.’ The authors are just as committed as you to grace free from law. They are vehemently against any form of Lordship Salvation. The ‘uneven quality’ expression refers to differences in the writing and scholarship skills among the authors.
I had a quick look at the online sample provided by Amazon and the first thing I saw was dead works and threats being preached in connection with the Lord’s Prayer. If you believe this commentary is free from mixture, I encourage you to apply the test I outline in the study note and get back to me with a score. Note that I have hidden the name of the book to protect authors’ identities.
Thanks. I will apply the test asap. fyi – the idea of a test like this is great! I hope you realize how much I agree with you and your project. It’s inspired & encouraging to me. I have been stunned the last few years at the dilution & near evaporation of fgt around the world.
“One of the commentaries in my study (G) is a modern commentary that is popular with some of my friends.” This would be interesting to look at…why not identify the author?
Two reasons: (1) I’m not into naming and shaming. (2) I want you to decide for yourself using the simple procedure I outline in the note.
Integrity issue arises from your ‘moderation’ criteria. This is my first time on your site. Do you not ‘name and shame’ only when it supports your goal? This is important since your write as if you have exclusive true textual comments on pure grace…disingenuous, though good marketing. Please ignore this if I have it all wrong…would not be the first time!
I have no desire to shame anyone. To show that existing commentaries sometimes preach law, I sometimes name 100-year-old old commentaries from dead authors. This is so you can check it out for yourself to see that I’m not making this stuff up. But that’s as far as I go. As far as my moderation criteria are concerned, I prefer short comments and will delete any with links or advertising.
But Paul, what about _______ Commentary? Would you consider this to be a grace based commentary?
I answer this question in the study note. But no.
LOVIT!!!
