Description: Most commentaries focus on the original meaning of the Bible but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable--but the job is only half done. The NIV Application Commentary Series helps with both halves of Bible study. Discover the original meaning of Luke and how his message has the same impact today.
