Commentary
From Help For Shepherds
[edit] Welcome
This section will always be a work in progress, and it will probably remain quite controversial for many people. For many years we as Christians, and especially as pastors,
Many pastors cannot afford all the best research by the experts, especially if they are not planning on preaching more than a message or two on that book. Others do not have the time to sort through a dozen books they don't really understand just to get insight into a passage they are only briefly refering to in the message. We're here to help.
The idea behind this section of the site is that each pastor culls through their own exegesis of a passage and posts it (with citations of course), creating a wiki commentary based on actual pastors' research. As more pastors post, we can refine each other's work and fill in the gaps with our own research and insights. Any message ideas that use this chapter will also be linked to at the bottom of the page.
We hope that you will find this site useful, and we also hope that you will help us to improve it so that other pastors can benefit.
[edit] How to use it
The commentary is divided by book of the Bible, with each chapter of every book having its' own page. Just click on the book of the Bible you want to access, and if there is any commentary for the chapter you are after a link to it will appear on that page. If there is no link to the chapter you need, create a new page for it using the template provided on that book's page and add what research you have.
Please only post your own research, and any references or reliance upon other resources needs to be cited. Any plagiarised information that we find will be removed because of copyright law, sorry.
If you wish to add more content to a chapter that already exists, go to that chapter and click "edit". For more information on editing and citations, see our FAQ page.
