Paul Cedar Boeken
Cedar Paul was een veelzijdige kunstenares wier carrière zang, schrijven, vertalen en journalistiek omvatte. Ze stamde uit een muzikale familie en genoot een internationale opleiding door heel Europa, waar ze zich toelegde op muziek en andere studies. Haar literaire inspanningen, vaak in samenwerking met haar man, kenmerkten zich door diepgang en omvang. Hoewel haar productie na het overlijden van haar man afnam, liet Paul een duidelijke stempel achter op het gebied van literaire vertalingen en het publieke debat.
General editor Lloyd J. Ogilvie brings together a team of skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship with life-related illustrations. The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis, and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material, and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and vitality.
