Luke 6–10: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary is unavailable, but you can change that!

Luke 6–10 continues The MacArthur New Testament Commentary’s look at the longest of the four gospels. The commentary provides a verse by verse and phrase by phrase exposition of the text, taking into account the cultural, theological, and, where appropriate, Old Testament contexts of each passage. Interpretive challenges are fully dealt with, and differing views are fairly evaluated.

The Lord of the harvest is the Lord Jesus
