- Commentary of the Book of Daniel by Gary Matsdorf (53 pages) This verse-by-verse commentary on Daniel gives a scholarly interpretation of the text in simple and easily understood terms, while also offering practical insight and application. Its main intent is to prepare Israel for centuries of upcoming suffering under anti-Yahweh governments by giving an overview of human history as it affects Israel from approximately 600 BC to the coming of Christ. The most difficult interpretative questions are answered in footnotes rather than the main text. It is based on historical-grammatical hermeneutics, honoring both the hermeneutical principles of the narrative, apocalyptic and prophetic genres in which its written. Knowing that the interpretation of key prophetic passages such as Daniel 9:20-27 affects one’s interpretation of Revelation, the commentary takes a non-dispensational approach.
- Commentary of the Book of The Revelation by Gary Matsdorf (143 pages) This verse-by-verse commentary on Revelation gives a scholarly interpretation of the text in simple and easily understood terms, while also offering practical insight and application. The most difficult interpretative questions are answered in footnotes rather than the main text. Revelation is largely of the apocalyptic genre, with some sections written in the narrative and epistle genres. Honoring the interpretive principles of the apocalyptic genre, the commentary avoids literalism in interpreting details. It also avoids the prophetic tenets of dispensationalism which imports presuppositions onto the apocalyptic sections. The commentary’s author believes that Revelation is prophetic, but that it also offers an overview of the ongoing cyclical nature of life in this Age from Christ’s Ascension to His Return, especially life for Christians under tyrannical governments. The key event of Revelation is Christ’s literal post-Tribulation return, followed by His intermittent Millennial reign, a reign that includes rulership by members the Church rather than the Jewish people of modern Israel.
- Commentary of the Books of Romans and Galatians by Gary Matsdorf (166 pages) Romans and Galatians—this is a verse-by-verse commentary on Romans and Galatians, following the historical-grammatical principles for the Epistles genre. Though scholarly, it also makes personal and practical application with the most technical questions addressed in footnotes. It emphasizes an understanding of grace vs. legalism, how to have dominion over sin and how to walk in the Spirit. The commentary is highly influenced by the Reformers. Specifically, the understanding of the flesh/sinful nature follows that of Augustine, the Latin Fathers and the Reformers from ancient scholarship, and Morris, Kruse, Ridderbos, Cranfield and Longenecker in modern scholarship. The doctrine of sanctification follows the understanding of “progressive sanctification,” as espoused by the British Keswick movement and others, including the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.
