"Those of us who regularly preach need commentaries that provide the best biblical scholarship and also understand the practical challenges of today's pastorate. The Reformed Expository Commentary series, prepared by Reformed preachers of great scholarly ability, ably speaks to both needs. As a combined exegetical and homiletical commentary, it is a sermon preparation tool of exceptional value. The authors of the Westminster Confession of Faith advised pastors to speak to both 'the necessities and capacities' of our people. This commentary series, which so well understands God's Word and God's people, greatly aids in the dual task of faithful preachers." - Bryan Chapell, President, Covenant Theological Seminary
"Some Commentaries lose the forest for the tress, and other the trees for the forest. This series promises to be both exegetically sensitive and theologically faithful." - Mark Dever, pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church
"A canonical, Reformed expositional commentary has long been a desideratum, and we are now in debt to this gifted team of pastor-theologians for bringing it to pass." - J. Ligon Duncan III, Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, MS
"The fruit of pastoral ministry, the Reformed Expository commentary series marvelously exhibits the model of the pastor-scholar." - Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary California
"The first liturgical reform of the Protestant Reformation was the implementation of lectio continua expository preaching in Zurich in 1519. Sequential Bible exposition has been a hallmark of Reformed Protestantism ever since. It is heartening to see the Reformed Expository Commentary series emerging to encourage the continuation of this great heritage of preaching." - Terry Johnson, Pastor, Independent Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Georgia
"Here is exposition modeled by pastors with scholarly gifts and by scholars with pastors' hearts. Exegetical and theological reliability, redemptive historical sensitivity, a Christ-centered focus, and contemporary practical application - these are the promised hallmarks of the series. May it serve as a model to encourage and enthuse a new generation to love the Word of God and to rediscover the life-transforming power of expository preaching!" - Sinclair B. Ferguson, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary.
"The Reformed Expository Commentary is one of the best expository series available — it exemplifies top-shelf Christ-centered preaching. Each volume is an invaluable tool for private worship, leading a Bible study, or aiding young men to craft better sermons. I highly recommend it." - Micah Bickford, WTS Bookstore
