Lexham Context Commentary: New Testament is unavailable, but you can change that!

The Lexham Context Commentary: New Testament surveys each book of the New Testament at several levels—Book, Division, Section, Pericope, Paragraph, and Unit—providing contextually appropriate commentary on each level. The reader of the commentary can easily ascertain the contextual importance of any larger section, or pericope, or even a particular verse of Scripture.

If we know how a given text operates in light of its generic traits, we know what to do with the text. Genre is like a blueprint, helping us to see what is before us in a text. Conducting genre analysis is one of the best ways to move beyond the merely descriptive level or plot summary or paraphrase with a biblical text. It is one of the greatest gifts of a literary approach to the Bible.
