Speaking personally, the Lexham Bible Guides are some of my favorite resources out of everything we?ve produced here at Lexham Press. I like to think of each Lexham Bible Guide as a multiple-views commentary. Look up a given passage, and you?ll find summaries of?all the major viewpoints of?recent scholarship.
I love to use the Lexham Bible Guides as stand-alone study tools, but they?also excel as starting points for further research. Each of the summarized views links to its primary resource. So, once you find an explanation that makes sense, you can follow through to get all the details.
For example, let?s say I?m reading 1 Corinthians 15, and I come to verse 29?the mysterious ?baptism of the dead? passage. What am I supposed to do with this?
The Lexham Bible Guide: 1 Corinthians brings together all the major views on this confusing passage. After providing an overview of the issue and the general approaches that have been taken, the guide summarizes the perspectives from each scholar. Here are a few examples:
For this particular passage, the Lexham Bible Guide: 1 Corinthians includes the perspectives of 14 different scholars, including Gordon Fee, Richard Hays, and Leon Morris. I can follow through to their original resources to get all the insight they have to offer.
Now available individually
Up until now, most of the Lexham Bible Guides have only been available through the 13-volume Paul?s Letters Collection. This is still the best value if you want them all, but we recently made each volume available for individual download!
