1 Corinthians
ISBN: 9780852345672
Author: Peter Naylor
Although 1 Corinthians was originally written with the needs of the Corinthian congregation in mind, Paul aimed his words at ‘all who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, theirs and ours’ (1:2). Because ‘theirs and ours’ connects directly with ‘in every place’, the reference is almost certainly to all the churches in which he had an influence. This claim flies in the face of much modern scholarship.
The apostle needed to remind over-assertive Corinthians that they were only a part of the universal body of Christ and therefore were in no position to define or manipulate the faith (14:36). Further, Paul must have been aware that his letter was an inspired document meant for all believers: if he wrote for the Corinthians, he also wrote consciously for all of us, without reference to where and when we live. In truth, when we read the epistle, we feel that the Lord of glory is speaking to our hearts.
This commentary offers its own translation, slightly more literal than dynamic, of the Greek text, italicized words in parentheses transliterating those Greek words which are quoted.
Paul’s epistle is of abiding relevance, challenge and comfort, and this portion of the Word of God is worthy of investigation for its own sake because it tells of Jesus.
Peter Naylor (1937-2007) obtained his M.Th at the University of London, and then studied Semitics at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was also awarded a Ph.D. from Potchefstroom University, South Africa. Before retirement he pastored congregations in Suffolk and then at Wellingborough, Northants, England. He was the author of commentary on Ezekiel in the EP Study Commentary Series.

GENESIS - volume 1 EPSC
ISBN: 9780852345375
Author: John Currid
Format: Hardback 216 x 138
Page count: 482 pages
Genesis is a book about beginnings — the creation of the universe, the formation of mankind, the establishment of the covenant and the founding of the people of Israel. Many Christians regard the Old Testament as merely a collection of interesting stories to be taught in Sunday school, but which have little application for the church today except as providing examples or illustrations from a bygone, almost barbarous, age.

Numbers
ISBN: 9780852347058
Author: John Currid
The place of the book of Numbers in the literary pattern is clear. First of all, it concludes Israel’s stay at Sinai, and it prepares the people for the march to the land of promise (1:1 - 10:10). Secondly, the book records the actual journey from Sinai to the plains of Moab, and it ends with Israel prepared to launch a campaign into the land of promise.

Job
ISBN: 9780852346648
Author: Hywel Jones
The book of Job has been highly spoken of by many, both inside the Christian church and out. Thomas Carlyle, the nineteenth-century man of letters, wrote of it, ‘I call it, apart from all theories about it, one of the grandest things ever written with pen… There is nothing written, I think, in the Bible or out of it, of equal literary merit.’

Micah
ISBN: 9780852347171
Author: Dale Ralph Davis
The prophet Micah lived in dark times. He was one of a small remnant of faithful believers living in a godless society where corruption and violence were rife, the vulnerable were the victims of exploitation and the religious leaders failed to speak out against the people's sin, but instead gave them the message they wanted to hear.

Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
ISBN: 9780852347126
Author: Iain Duguid
The last three books of the Old Testament, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, have not always received the attention they deserve from the church. This is in some ways surprising, since the Gospel writers quote Zechariah 9-14 more often than any other biblical source in explaining Christ's sufferings and death.
