As the nation's most popular annual Bible commentary for more than 2 decades, the Standard Lesson Commentary provides 52 weeks of study in a single volume and combines thorough Bible study with relevant examples and questions.
The NIV SLC Large Print Edition is perfect as the primary resource for an adult Sunday school class and personal study or as a supplemental resource for any curriculum that follows the ISSL/Uniform Series.
The Standard Lesson Commentary is based on the popular Uniform Series, also called the International Sunday School Lessons. This series, developed by scholars from several church fellowships, provides an orderly study of the Bible in a 6-year period.
Nearly 2 dozen ministers, teachers, and Christian education specialists provide the Bible commentary, lesson plans, discussion questions, and other features that make the Standard Lesson Commentary the most popular annual Bible commentary available.
Excellent writing. Best commentaries for the lessons. Thought provoking questions allow for more insight into the lessons. Written in a style for both adults and younger students.
I grew up with Standard Publishing Sunday School curriculum. I fondly remember the annual summertime 2-week Vacation Bible School at the Andover Christian Church in Andover, Ohio. My momma served as the VBS Director year-after-year—and she always used Standard Publishing’s VBS material. I share this background info so you’ll realize I have a bias toward SP’s curriculum. But this 2018-2019 Commentary/lessons missed the mark many times. My adult SS class got very vocal about several of the monthly lessons/theme. They were disappointing! We’re ready to move on to the new SP Lesson Commentary for 2019-2020.
I've only reviewed the first two lessons and I'm very disappointed. I've been purchasing this commentary for years and this is the first time there are no blue highlights to other verses. I'm really not liking this because it was so easy to study before. Please let me know if there is an update at no cost.
