2 Kings: The Power and the Fury (Focus on the Bible)

If you're debating what commentary you should buy on 2 Kings, then stop debating and buy this one! By all means buy the more scholarly one if you must, but you'll be missing out on much that is good and you won't have as much fun in your study. So if you are going to buy only one this is the one to get. Not only will you find that you get much out of the text when reading this. Very often when I'm been working on the passage and I have managed to get a basic outline down I found that I get 3 to 4 times more out of this and some other commentaries when I've taken additional notes, it's that good! As I have said before I will also guarantee you'll enjoy your study a lot more due to the considerable wit and wisdom of Dale Ralph Davis! This series of commentaries from Christian focus is always good value for money but particularly when the author is Dales Ralph Davis as he has a way of often getting right to the heart of the passage and drawing valuable teaching and application from it. This is certainly a very good place to start if you are preparing talks and Bible studies for any age group and it certainly has enough depth if you are preaching a sermon series on 2 Kings.

As with his commentary on Joshua, in this commentary on 2 Kings, the author has managed to bring out the meaning of the text, addressing relevant academic debates concisely yet convincingly, acknowledging but avoiding irrelevant debates, while somehow finding space to bring home lessons for life in today's world, using pithy imagery. This commentary is accessible, readable, thorough, concise, clear, and useful. Highly recommended for those who simply want to understand and apply the lessons of 2 Kings.

Read everything by DRD! This is a great commentary on 2 Kings. By the end I understood the important message this book of the bible teaches us: God will fulfill all his words, whether words of blessing or words of judgement. He keeps his word, always.

First class. Worth every penny.

good thanks

Excellent in every way MANY THANKS!!!

All fine.

This is an excellent series. Astonishing to think that it was almost orphaned half way through (see preface to 2 Kings) - astonishingly short sited. Buy them all. You'll never regret it!!
