WILLIAM HENDRIKSEN
Thorough, lucid, scholarly, exegetical, devotional — these are but a few of the adjectives that have been used to describe the New Testament Commentary by William Hendriksen. Since the release of the first volume in 1953, each new work has received the plaudits of evangelicals who have sought a New Testament commentary that is scrupulously true to the revealed Word. Scholars, pastors, and laymen alike have found in these commentaries an eminently useful tool in exploring the depths of the New Testament.
Distinguishing Features
Introductions Each book of the Bible is prefaced by a thorough and satisfying introduction, treating questions of date and authorship, as well as other problems of an introductory nature. The purpose of the book, its theme, and a brief outline arc also included in the introduction. The volume on Matthew includes an introduction to the Gospels.
New Translation Each section of comments is preceded by the author's own translation, reproducing the true flavor of the origmal in good, idiomatic, modern English.
Commentary The verse by verse commentary on the Scriptural text is a rare combination of real scholarliness and simplicity of expression, making it a valuable working tool for the advanced scholar as well as the layman.
Summaries First verses and paragraphs are carefully analyzed, one by one; then in a Si/ntbesis which follows an entire thought unit, the central ideas are brought into focus and summarized. This unique feature is highly appreciated by ministers in their sermon preparation.
Outlines Each book of the Bible is preceded by an outline which shows its organic structure. Sections of the outline are repeated before every main division of the book.
Critical Notes Discussion of problems of a more specialized interest are not avoided but given parallel placement, to assure full and adequate treatment without impeding the free flow of the commentary for the general user.
Bibliographies A select bibliography follows the discussion on each book of the Bible, listing the best works on that particular book.
The Author
William Hendriksen received wide recognition as an outstanding Bible student, a consecrated preacher and lecturer, and an indefatigable author. He was a diligent scholar, an astute theologian, and a competent linguist; yet his writing and speaking always was marked by good organization, easily understood language, and candor —characteristics appreciated by layman and scholar alike.
Hendriksen held a Th.D from Princeton Theological Seminary. He served large congregations in the Christian Reformed Church and for ten years was Professor of New Testament Literature at Calvin Seminary, Grand Rapids. Michigan. Since his emeritation from pastoral work in 1965 he had with diligence and dedication continued the writing of the New Testament Commentari/. He died in 1982, shortly after completing the commentary on Romans.
