Firmly believing that
every Christian who has the capacity in this day and age of web blogs and free
self-publishing should study the Bible and write about what they’ve seen for
the edification of others I have taken on the task of commenting on the entire
Bible. If the Lord permits me I will complete it. I do not insist that I am
right in every particular of interpretation but am hopeful that, even if you
disagree with me, you will grow to love your Bible as much as I have. Pick it
up, read, study, comment. I am an ordinary Christian with no seminary training.
I have multiple degrees but that is because I worked for a university and
received my classes free. I felt it best to be able to relate to what the
students assigned to me experienced. As a result, I have a BA in Anthropology,
an MA in American History, and Graduate Certificates representing an additional
year of study each in Ancient and Classical History, European History, Civil
War Studies, and the American Revolution. This does not make me an expert in
the Bible. I simply read the Bible, cross-reference verses, study, and read some
more, praying for wisdom and understanding from the God who is active in every
moment of our existences and is the source of our reasoning ability and even
consciousness. At this writing I am finishing up on my 63rd reading
of the Bible; the first two times being the Good
News Bible and the remaining times the King
James Version. I believe that God has prepared me with the experiences of
my life and the personal talents He has given me to do this. But, I am not
alone. There are millions of Christians who should do the same. I could not
have embarked on this project without the indwelling of the Spirit of God and
Christ and without the inspiration my wife, Beth, gives me every day as we
learn what God has for us together.

Praise the Lord, brother. I know that your commentaries are already a blessing to any child of God who reads them with an open heart to hear from the words of the living God.
For any observers who reads my comments, i must say that I am one who does disagree with brother Fred on some things but can testify of the Holy Spirit's guidance in his work. Fred's work should inspire you to think about the scriptures, study more deeply, and with personal application in mind. You will not regret listening to brother Fred.
