New Testament Exposition Commentary (NTEC)
VBTS President Dr. Daniel Davey is the Senior Editor and contributing author for the
forthcoming New Testament Exposition Commentary series, to be published by Regular Baptist Press. The first commentary on the gospel of Matthew by Dr. Chris Miller (Cedarville University) is scheduled to be published in 2023. The second commentary on the Letter to the Romans by Dr. Daniel Davey is scheduled to be published in 2024. Two commentaries are planned to be released every subsequent year.
The series will be written for Christians in the local church—whether pastor, teacher, small group leader, or individual member. Each volume will provide a readable, verse-by-verse guide through each New Testament book from a literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutical framework, and a study guide will be offered to give practical advice on how to teach each biblical chapter. The authors are skilled Baptist pastors and professors who have dedicated their lives to the study of Scripture and are fully committed to local church ministry.
