TEACH THE TEXT COMMENTARY SERIES
John H. Walton Old Testament General Editor | Mark L. Strauss New Testament General Editor |
This commentary is dedicated with love and affection to my first four pastors, all of whom had a profound impact on my life:
The late Floyd Childs,
who introduced my father to the Savior and radically altered the course of our family’s history
The late Richard Prue,
who showed a young boy what it means to love and serve Jesus with one’s heart and soul
John Hunter,
who inspired a college graduate to go to seminary rather than become a sportswriter
The late Richard Anderson,
who gave an inexperienced seminarian the opportunity to preach and teach the Word of God on a regular basis
