Boice: By a Pastor, For a Pastor

When we listen to a sermon, we hope for two things: an explanation of the passage, and how it relates to us. These are the two goals the Boice Expositional Commentary Series accomplishes. It helps preachers, teachers and students of the Bible understand the Bible’s tough passages. Then, Boice makes his message relatable. This set is simple, useful, and we’ll show you how it works in this post.

First, who was Boice?

James Montgomery Boice, born in 1938, taught at Harvard and Princeton. He is considered an American Reformed Christian theologian, most known for his writing on the authority of Scripture. He also took a big stand for biblical inerrancy during his lifetime. From 1968 until his passing, he was the Senior Minister of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia.

Next, let’s look inside the Boice Expositional Commentary Series and see how it works in the Olive Tree Bible App.

Boice in the Resource Guide

Like any enhanced resource, the Boice Expositional Commentary Series is built to work hand-in-hand with the Resource Guide. As you read the Bible, the Resource Guide follows along and shows you resources with relevant content.

In the screenshot below you can see the results in the commentary section—including Boice’s Commentary. Since Jesus’ prayer in John 17 is open, the Resource Guide will shows notes related to that specific passage. This saves time and effort!
