The New American Commentary (NAC) is for those who have been seeking a commentary that honors the Scriptures, represents the finest in contemporary evangelical scholarship, and lends itself to the practical work of preaching and teaching. This series serves as a minister’s friend and a student’s guide.
The New American Commentary assumes the inerrancy of Scripture, focuses on the intrinsic theological and exegetical concerns of each biblical book, and engages the range of issues raised in contemporary biblical scholarship. Drawing on the knowledge and skills of over forty scholars and encompassing forty volumes, the NAC brings together scholarship and piety to produce a tool that enhances and supports the life of the church.
The beloved book of Psalms is the favorite of many Christians, who find there not only comfort, encouragement, and hope, but also the expression of their own voice in prayer. It has been described as the theology of the Old Testament in poetic form. Nevertheless, few of us are as comfortable with poetry as with prose—especially translated Hebrew poetry from the eastern Mediterranean over 2,000 years ago. So, we welcome the expert guidance of Dr. Estes, whose exposition of this book not only informs our understanding, but also ignites our passion for the God of Israel, who is the God of creation, of history, of redemption, and of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, our Savior.
The author of Psalms 1-72 is Daniel J. Estes.
