Best Christian Commentaries
From pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller comes the perfect gift for the Christmas holiday—a profoundly moving and intellectually provocative examination of the nativity story Even people who are not practicing Christians think they are familiar with the story of the nativity. Keller achieves his pastoral goal of teaching Christmas’ most important message—‘God alone has the life, truth, and joy that we lack and cannot generate ourselves’—and in doing so, provides solace for those who seek it.” —Publishers Weekly. Praise for Timothy Keller and his other books: “Tim Keller’s ministry in New York City is leading a generation of seekers and skeptics toward belief in God. “Fifty years from now, if evangelical Christians are widely known for their love of cities, their commitment to mercy and justice, and their love of their neighbors, Tim Keller will be remembered as a pioneer of the new urban Christians.”. — Christianity Today.

"Hidden Christmas has all the hallmarks we’ve come to expect from Keller."
"This amalgamation covers the breadth of the Christmas story beginning with its roots in the Old Testament, as the Israelites yearned for the freeing savior King promised to them. And I think that’s really the strength of this book: Keller covers so much that there’s bound to be something in it that will give you pause to consider what Jesus’ birth in a manager means. We take the ability to talk to, to pray to, to approach God ourselves for granted today and the Christmas story should remind us of how incredible this is. Key Quotes: “Such in outline, but even more purposeless, more void of meaning, is the world which science presents for our belief... That Man is the product of causes which had no prevision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs, are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling, can preserve an individual life beyond the grave; that all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system, and that the whole temple of Man’s achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the débris of a universe in ruins—all these things, if not quite beyond dispute, are yet so nearly certain, that no philosophy which rejects them can hope to stand. “The [Bible’s] lesson is that the medium is not the message, that we must not ignore uncomfortable truths just because they come through an unimpressive messenger.” (104). “Thy word is like a deep, deep mine;//and jewels rich are rare//are hidden in its mighty depths//for every searcher there.” (107). “The manger at Christmas means that, if you live like Jesus, there won’t be room for you in a lot of inns.” (119)."

Beginning with Jesus' birth, Ken Bailey leads you on a kaleidoscopic study of Jesus throughout the four Gospels. "A brilliant addition to Bailey's other works in which he sheds light on the biblical text from Middle Eastern culture." He draws upon the works of others, ancient and modern, allowing students of scripture to gain an additional layer of insight from the texts he examines. While one could enjoy reading the book straight through, it has the wealth of information that may also be accessed through use as a resource for examining any of the treated Gospel texts." Laid out in simple format for easy absorption by readers, the author's explanations of his findings require no formal training to follow and understand them. "Bailey has a gift of clear, lively expression; he takes advantage of his personal experiences, interest in Hebrew poetic structure, and knowledge of Arabic to bring insights into NT interpretation." "A rich and fascinating anthology of exegetical essays reflecting on gospel texts through the lens of Middle Eastern culture and rhetoric. Another valuable contribution of this book is the introduction to, and interaction with, great Eastern commentaries long forgotten or largely unknown to Western Biblical Scholarship.

"Terrific insights into times, culture, languages and scripture."
"As he points out the culture resists change, so that listening and watching today through Bailey's accounts of culture and custom give great insight into today's ME world."
"Helped me put the life of Jesus in perspective and gave me a lot to think about."
"Gave it to a Bible Study friend who spends a lot of volunteer time trying to be a Christian witness to interested Afghanistan Muslims."
"In Western theological discussions around Jesus and gospels the contextual setting has been defined more by a helenistic scientific approach where reason and explanation are imposed upon a middle eastern culture."
"It brings the Bible to real life to understand the culture in which the Bible was written."
"I think "Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes" should be must reading for every Junior High Christian Education in schools, churches, and family teaching."

Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the Prodigal Son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation.

"In this book he talks about the lost sons."
"I loved this book."
"The way he shed new light on this parable makes it an enjoyable read for anyone, no matter where you are in your walk with God. I'm very left brained and a very linear thinking (this plus this equals this), so the way he broke everything down and showed the symbolism was very eye opening."
"The book focuses on the the character failings of the older brother which are self righteous and greed as well as the obvious sins of the younger brother."
"Though it is a short book, it took me a week to read it as each chapter was so thoughtfully writing and amazing."
"If you grew up in a legalistic rule-producing church you need to read this!!!"
"We have, no doubt, all heard in many sermons that the father represents God and the younger or "prodigal" son refers those whom rebel, are disobedient and lead sinful lives. After the younger son has run out of money and realizes his error, he seeks his father's forgiveness which he readily receives. He spent what he had to become human, and by temporarily separating from God, the Father, and by his death on the cross paid the ultimate sacrifice to save man-kind from our sins."
