Comentarios Bíblicos con aplicación: Serie NVILa mayoría de los comentarios bíblicos solo son un viaje de ida: nos llevan del siglo veintiuno al siglo primero. Pero nos dejan allí, dando por sentado que de algún modo sabremos regresar por nosotros mismos. Dicho de otro modo, se centran en el significado original del pasaje, pero no se adentran en su aplicación a la vida contemporánea. La información que ofrecen es muy valiosa, pero resulta tan solo una ayuda a medias. Los Comentarios Bíblicos con aplicación: Serie NVI nos ayudan con las dos partes de la tarea interpretativa, es decir, también nos ayudan a aplicar un mensaje de otra época a nuestro contexto actual. No solo nos explican lo que significó para los lectores originales, sino que nos demuestran que también hay un mensaje poderoso para la iglesia de hoy. Para lograrlo, analizan cada pasaje en tres partes: 1) Sentido original, 2) Construyendo puentes entre los contextos del autor y el nuestro, 3) Significado contemporáneo.

Garland uses the Original, Bridging, and current contexts effectively. I tend to read the Bible as a series of vignettes. I think many others do, too. This book helps to understand Mark as a cohesive unit itself, within the NT, the OT, and its time. He is highly effective at providing context. A brief rundown of quotations shows he quotes every book of the Bible except Obadiah and 2 John.
Additionally the author is well-read. The works he quotes are more than I've read over the last few years. Not only did Garland read them, but processed them well enough to apply.
This isn't a commentary where we get a verse followed by a sentence or paragraph, then another verse. Whole chunks are studied together. There's about a 1/2 chapter followed by @ 10 pages of commentary.
Finally, he presents and discusses various views of different commentators on particular verses, contemporary and past. I haven't read those works to know if Garland is presenting straw-man arguments, but I'm familiar with the general theologies to know the layout of the discussion.
This work is well-edited, a labor of love and a joy to read. This is not a page turner, but something you have to chew on. That's not a bad thing!! I generally read a section a day. I will turn back to it in the future as a reference.
I originally received this book as a free promo on Olive Tree software. I don't remember if it was pushed out, included, advertised, or what. I hadn't heard of this series so it doesn't seem like something I'd seek out with the crush of commentaries available. One night on vacation, my daughter asked why Jesus cursed the fig tree. I fumbled through the Olive Tree software (not a fan of the UI) and somehow this commentary popped up. It was the 1st explanation that ever just made sense. I was so impressed I bought the book ASAP. I'll definitely pick up other volumes of this series. Yay for providential promos! (
