PSALMS VOLUME 1 (THE COLLEGE PRESS NIV COMMENTARY. S. Edward Tesh

The College Press NIV Commentary Series

Years ago a movement was begun with the dream of uniting all Christians on the basis of a common purpose (world evangelism) under a common authority, the Word of God. The College Press NIV Commentary Series is a serious effort to join the scholarship of two branches of this unity movement so as to speak with one voice concerning the Word of God. Our desire is to provide a resource for your study of the Old Testament that will benefit you whether you are preparing a Bible School lesson, a sermon, a college course or your own personal devotions.

The College Press NIV Commentary Series has been designed for the serious student as well as the growing Christian features like these…

• Biblically sound exegesis
• Clear exposition
• Objective approach
• Concise introductions
• New International Version
• Key word translation
• Easy to us design format
• Practical footnotes
• Quality workmanship
• Fresh style and study format

College Press brings you the very best for your study of the Old Testament!

S. Edward Tesh, M.Div., received his A.B. from Johnson Bible College and his M.Div. from Butler School of Religion. His thesis topic was “The Emergence and the Nature of the Tetragrammaton.” Tesh studied for a brief time at the University of Manchester (England). He began teaching at Lincoln Bible Institute (now Lincoln Christian College) in 1949. Tesh was named Professor of Old Testament at Lincoln Christian Seminary in 1951. He retired from active teaching in 1991, completing forty-two years of faithful service to higher Christian education. S. Edward Tesh “went home to be with the Lord” shortly after he learned that this first volume of Psalms was completed and delivered to College Press. His influence will be carried over into the second volume.

Walter D. Zorn, Ph.D., received his undergraduate degree from Atlanta Christian College, and majored in Semitic Languages and Literature at Lincoln Christian Seminary where he received his M.Div.
