The Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary

The Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary
Albert Garner & J. C. Howes
23 Volumes

The Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary of the Whole Bible was originally published as a 23-volume set by Albert Garner (principal author) along with J. C. Howes, G.F. Crumley, and Eugene Garner in 1985.

Interpretations are written in the language of the common man, designed especially for Bible teachers, Sunday School teachers, laymen and ministers who desire to know the meaning or find an explanation on any particular passage.

All interpretations are based on:

1. the root meaning of the words

2. the subject matter considered

3. the contextual setting of the subject matter and time element considered.

Here is an example of their comments on Romans 1:16,

1) "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ," (ou gar epaischunomai to euangellion) "For I am not ashamed of (blushing because of) the gospel (of Christ)." To Paul the gospel never ceased to be or exist as "good news", for sinners and the saved; of it he was never ashamed, neither should any child of God ever be, because of what it is and does for the lost, 2Tim 1:7-8; Mark 8:38.

2) "For it is the power of God unto salvation", (dunamis gar theou estin eis soterian) "For it is or (exists as) the power of God, with relation to salvation," or deliverance from the power and presence of sin, to the holiness and glory of God, 2Cor 4:3-4; 1Cor 1:18; 1:23-24; This gospel is accompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit, 1Thes 1:5.

3) "To everyone that believeth " (panti to pisteuonti) "To everyone who believes"; note how universal is this offer, and how individual this acceptance of Salvation is made, in the redemptive gospel message, John 3:16; 5:24; 6:37; Acts 10:43; Rom 10:9-10; 10:13.

4) "To the Jew first," (louaio te proton) "Both, firstly (in priority) to the Jew, " Matt 3:15; John 1:11-12.

5) "And also to the Greek," (kai Helleni) "And to the Greek," as well or also; To the Greeks who said, "Sir, we would see Jesus," "we long to see the Savior;" he turned to make himself known to them also, John 12:21-23; These were "other sheep," not of the Jewish fold, 10:16; Peter also unashamedly preached this gospel of power to others – Acts 10:34-44.

The authors of this commentary are conservative, independent, landmark, missionary Baptists.
