Endorsements
“To quote Martin Luther in his observation about studying the Scriptures, ‘There is always something left over to understand and to do. Therefore you must never be proud as if you were already full.’ The Lutheran Bible Companion is a ‘must have‘ resource for those who truly want to be satisfied with the Spirit-filled illumination of God’s Word as we learn how culture, context, and historical events can enhance our desire to drink deeply of His wisdom, commands, and promises.”

—Dr. Kurt Senske, CEO Lutheran Social Services of the South, Author The Calling: Live a Life of Significance (Concordia, 2010) 

“The Lutheran Bible Companion is a fine resource that will nicely supplement The Lutheran Study Bible. It provides a comprehensive overview for laypeople of the books of the Old and New Testaments and Apocryphal writings, including historical and geographical background along with doctrinal themes. Lutheran Bible Companion is unique in that it provides a rare combination of art, maps, charts, and literary and theological commentary on the texts of the Holy Scriptures. There is really nothing quite like it on the market today. Pastors will want to make sure the members of their congregation learn about it.”
