Thank you, Reverend. I appreciate what you say about it being a good one-volume step-up resource. My favourite one in this class is the 2-volume abridgement of the EBC series, even though (and perhaps because) it has some extra space. If you own this, please consider including it in your upcoming video. That said, I won’t be getting the one-volume NIVAC. I have some of the original volumes, and I value their introductions and original meaning sections. I prefer the full-fat originals to the skimmed-milk version! Another way to say it is that I’ve moved on past the one-volume stage of acquiring resources.
Thank you for taking the time to recommend the EBC - I don't have it, but I will look around for it. I understand your position, I probably wouldn't have bought it unless I had the channel to feed! God bless you!
@ thats really not bad at all considering they’ll get you for a grand for the whole NIVAC just about. I can afford something like that. I’ll keep my eye out.
Steven, I hope you don't mind me suggesting this for a future video. I've recently retired from Parish ministry in Scotland and I completed my BD in 1996. I'd be grateful if you could suggest books that reflect some of the current thinking and advances in the following areas: Old Testament New Testament Church History Systematic Theology The social world of the Old and New Testaments Second Temple Judaism I know it's a lot to ask, but listening to your vidoes I realise my library is now a wee bit dated.
Thanks for your meaningful question. Have you seen my recent video "3 books to help you study the Bible cover to cover?" Also if you search for Systematic Theology there are a couple of well worn but relevant videos that will come up. I have it on my plan to do a systematic theology update by the spring though.. I will add second temple Judaism and the social world to my list as they are very good ideas. There is at least one New Testament video planned for the near future as well as a New Testament Theology one. Keep checking back and you will see some of these covered. My library is fairly weak on Church History, so that might be a while...Thanks so much for the contact. God bless you!
@pastorslibrary Thanks, Steven. I'll look at the videos you suggested and wait for he updated systematics video. Looking forward to seeing Second Temple and social world videos when you post them, too. Also, Church History is such a big area. I doubt there are any one volume overviews.
This volume is a step up from the life application bible - which is one of the best study bibles. It will answer questions that simply will into fit in any study bible. If you feel you are ready for something more then I can recommend it. God bless you!
Hi Steven, I have this also. A great reference for study, preaching, and teaching.
Thanks for your feedback! May God bless you!

thank you! Blessings!
I got one not too long ago 😆
are you from the USA? What a blessing it is!
@pastorslibrary I'm actually not, I'm from South Africa 😂
They make it accessible price wise?
I paid $43 to get it from the USA to the UK. When it eventually comes out over here, it is pre-selling for £32. God bless you!

Dear pastor, what are the main differences between this volume and the Life Application Study Bible? And which of the two do you prefer?
This volume is a step up from the life application bible - which is one of the best study bibles. It will answer questions that simply will into fit in any study bible. If you feel you are ready for something more then I can recommend it. God bless you!
