The Ritchie Old Testament Commentaries are being published as companions to the Series on the New Testament, which was widely appreciated and provided a much-needed resource for the Bible student interested in a clear and concise exposition of the Scriptures. The contributors are well known Bible teachers, competent in handling the Scriptures publicly and ‘able to teach others also.’ The style is both expository and practical and each commentary has been written specifically for the Series. The commentaries are to be commended and will prove to be helpful, practical and challenging to the believer who is interested to learn of God’s ways in the Old Testament.
