For Example Tradition says that 'Bartholomew' established a church in Parthia or near India and was later martyed. And later apostles such as helped establish the first churches such are:Barnabas,Silas,Paul,Timothy,Phillip,Stephen etc. Finally,I didn't notice really any biographies of the Apostles considered to be Founders of the New Testament Churches: such as: Matthew,Mark,Luke,John,Andrew,Bartholomew,Thomas,Judas or known as lebbeaus Thaddeaus(not Judas Iscariot)and James the son of alpheaus.

Also other important characters such as some in the Book of Chronicles like Huldah the Prophetess. also,Important names of Old Testament Characters of whom have symbolic meanings such as The 'Deliverers' or principle Judges of the book of Judges such as: Othniel,Elihud,Shamgar,Barak,Deborah the (prophetess),Gideon And Samson. Majior Prophets like Isaiah,Ezekiel,and the minior or contemporary prophets like Zephaniah,haggai,habakkuk,Obadiah,Malachi etc. For example the following we're ommited: Seer's such as Iddo,Nathan,Michaiah etc. I noticed they gave the hebrew meanings of some prophets,patriarchs,and apostles' names but not other important notable ones. Adam Clarkes give the most in-depth revelation on 'The Creation,The Serpent, and Cain And abel's Lineage. The Analysis on Gen-Deut are fairly explicit and detail.Īlthough, The Creaton,Man,and 'The Serpent' is vague. I have personally read through the entire 'ESB'. Only a small percentage of difficult,old english,antiquated nouns,adjectives,verbs and 'root' word meanings are actually defined and,the hebrew and greek transliteration and meanings given. Historical value dates and events as it relates to the particular passage and future and modern events as it pertains to fulfilled prophecy.ĬONS: The King James Text has been modified and the exlcusion of many archaic words which many believe to be expressive and authoritative. Theological insights provided by: Josephus the early Jewish Historian, Eusebius, Pulpit's, George william's, Matthew Henry's, Expositor's Notes, etc.Ī detailed explanation and commentary follows practically every verse I'll To try to summarize The 'ESB' if I can here: Much of the bible as it regards to idealism which is: principle,conscience,wisdom, and of course Morals,ethics and values along with detailed prophecy throughout the old and new testament. And in addition the church reformation and throughout the ages and how the bible can apply to our lives,society and culture today.

Also, extensive hebrew,greek and aramaic definitions or meanings of words,places,people,allegory, etc.

I believe a true study bible would be inclusive of archaeology and history of the accounts,themes,geographical and culture portrayed.

I am a student of the bible and,I love the concept of the Expositor's Study Bible.
