The Branch Exposition of the Bible

The Branch Exposition of the Bible is a great resource for all Christ followers as well as a preacher’s companion. These Old Testament expositions not only increase one’s knowledge of Scripture but help us to experience the historical Jesus in our heart. The Branch is an essential tool to help us hear God; a must-read for every Christian.

Eaton’s exposition is as welcome as the shade of a spreading tree in the heat of India’s summer, a country in which he preached and published. I am confident that this generation of readers will find Eaton as fresh and green as the generation he ministered to.

I thank God for Eaton’s wholehearted determination to let the text speak for itself and to make it as accessible as possible to his readers. In this excellent volume we can all benefit from his insights and taste something of his passion for truth. May he continue speaking to future generations through these pages.

In producing The Branch Exposition of the Bible, Michael Eaton has written one of the most helpful tools any preacher or scholar of Scripture could hope for. It is refreshing to have a scholar of Michael’s ability use all that learning, wisdom and insight to open the Scriptures to us, revealing Christ and His Kingdom.

Dr Eaton writes with the passion of a scholar, pastor, and preacher. He meets the need of the “ordinary” preacher through scholarly exposition rather than voluminous footnotes. I heartily recommend this massive work to all who want a deeper understanding of the two Testaments. You will delight in his insights and applications.

The Branch Exposition of the Bible is a down to earth, scintillating biblical commentary from which a rural pastor in the Majority World can benefit as much as an erudite scholar in the West. It is brilliantly clear and easy to understand yet packed with depth and width of scholarship that takes into account the original context of the Old Testament culture and authorship.

I am so pleased that pastors and leaders all over the world, many of whom do not have access to extensive scholarship, can now benefit from Michael Eaton’s depth of knowledge and clarity of expression.

If I was asked to select an absolute minimum number of books that a pastor may need to deliver a Bible-based sermon, an Old Testament commentary such as this one would be included in the list. A work like this allows the reader to be discipled by Jesus, the writers of the Old Testaments and Michael Eaton.

Michael Eaton was one of those rare biblical scholars whose years of pastoral and preaching experience enabled him to write expositions of the biblical text that are profoundly simple without being simplistic and shallow. Having his commentaries on the Old Testament collected into this single volume will be an enormous blessing to the church.
