About the author

Dr. John Phillips was born in Britain. He served in the British Army in Palestine where he saw many of the events which led to the birth of the State of Israel. After the War he joined the Bank of Montreal and went to Canada. In the Canadian north-west he founded and pastored a small church in a bi-vocational capacity. He served as assistant director of the Moody Bible Institute's Correspondence School and became well known as a Bible teacher in the Moody Evening School and over the Moody Radio Network. For four years he directed the Emmaus Correspondence School, one of the largest in the world at that time with courses available in over 100 languages. Returning to Moody Bible Institute he traveled widely as an itinerant Bible teacher for the Institute's Extension Ministry. He is best known for his EXPLORING and INTRODUCING books. He has written on all the New Testament books and on numerous Old Testament books including EXPLORING GENESIS, EXPLORING PSALMS (2 vols), EXPLORING PROVERBS (2 vols) and EXPLORING THE MINOR PROPHETS. Dr. Phillips' resources have been the companions of pastors, teachers and Bible students everywhere who have turned to them for instruction, illumination, and illustration.

Reviews

[Rodney Tripp]

Professor level reading. I will say this commentary had it moments, but many of the illustration were outdated. I had to push through it at times in my reading. Would I consider other titles in this series... well maybe but only with great thought and consideration. I will look elsewhere most likely for other commentaries.

[Andrea]

good overview

[Bradley Somers]

Good devotional style reader through Romans. Easy to follow with lots of direct applications. My biggest struggle with devotional commentaries from this generation of Bible teachers is the need to alliterate every point. It’s leans toward stretching clear meaning of scripture to fit an outline.

[Michael]

It had good use of illustrations, but was kind of dry at times as well.

[Meschak]

I think it going to be amazing
