The Christian community in Roman was having issues in the mid-1st century that wasn’t unique to itself like other early churches who were written epistles in the New Testament, what the Romans received was Paul’s perfected sermon on salvation. Exploring Romans: A Devotional Commentary by George R. Knight explains how this Epistle is the clearest explanation of the salvation for Christian throughout the millennia especially during the Reformation.
Knight guides the reader through Romans in 62 segments using various translations to find the most accurate wording for the passage covered in each segment. Each lesson has Knight not only explain the passage within the context of the Romans but also in the whole Bible but also provide commentary about what the passage means to use today. Throughout the book Knight stresses the central theme of Paul’s message, the obtaining of salvation as well all the branching teachings on who needs it and why, the role of the law, and how to implement Christianity into life. Given the issues that Paul addresses two millennia ago are still around in some form or another today within the larger Christianity community, Knight makes sure the reader understands Paul response to these issues and why they are important even today.

Old Testament allusions, Jewish rituals, and comparisons between Jesus and leaders like Moses makes reading the Epistles to the Hebrews seem daunting and confusing but within shows the grandeur of Christ’s sacrifice. Exploring Hebrews: A Devotional Commentary by George R. Knight explains the Epistle in through scripture and plain language to give readers a better understanding of the Biblical author’s sermon to 1st Century Jewish Christians and how its applicable to Christians today.
Knight guides the reader through the Epistle to the Hebrews using his own translation—though he consulted several English versions during the process—in 53 segments. Each lesson focuses on a passage of the Epistle with Knight’s giving commentary as well as giving it a practical application for the reader today. Throughout the book, Knight highlighted various themes that the Epistle’s author—most likely Paul—along with emphasizing when the book switches from theological exposition and practical exhortation to its readers. Two of the keys takeaways that Knight brings forth is the shadow that the Tabernacle/Temple ceremonies were of the events in the Heavenly Sanctuary upon Jesus’ ascension along with how readers then and now need to have the faith of the great heroes that could only look forward towards Christ than knowing what Christ had done.

A good general education to philosophy and its role in education from a Christian (Evangelical / Biblical) perspective.
I personally found the earlier parts of the book, which covered the different educational philosophies behind a variety of schooling methods, to be more beneficial than the later part of the book.
The final part which deals with a Bible-centric approach to education lacked specific concrete details for implementing such an approach.

Knight divided both Galatians and Ephesians into 25 segments each, allowing him to not only explain each passage within the context of the specific book but within the rest of the Bible as well providing commentary about what the passage means for us today. Throughout Knight stresses throughout Galatians Paul’s message of justification by faith and how we are to live with that knowledge all after defending his original message and apostleship; while focusing on Ephesians Knight notes Paul’s emphasis how God’s grace for an individual’s salvation is equal for everyone and thus puts all believers into a new community, they must live up to no matter their position while on Earth. Though Knight doesn’t emphasize this, Galatians as the first of the epistles reveals Paul’s insistence on the basics of the faith while Ephesians as potentially Paul’s final message is that for a mature believer thus providing an interesting symmetry.
Exploring Galatians & Ephesians is an excellent commentary and devotional by George R. Knight that gives an in-depth understanding of two of Paul’s most important epistles and how their contents apply to us today.… (altro)
