The authors are clearly dispensationalist, which makes sense considering the editor, Paul Weaver, is a professor at DTS, which holds to dispensational teachings. That being said, I didn’t agree with all of their interpretations of the text, since I tend to lean more toward covenant theology.

If you already have a study Bible, I don’t think this book is worth purchasing. It essentially summarizes the text and adds a bit of helpful context, but I didn’t think it offered much beyond that.

Overall, I didn’t hate it! It was helpful at times, but again I probably wouldn’t recommend purchasing it if you already have a good study Bible.
