The Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary Series is a new commentary series from Holman Reference edited by David Platt, Daniel Akin and Tony Merida. The editor's goal is "to present an easy reading, practical and friendly commentary" and "to exalt Jesus from every book of the Bible." In the introduction the editors lay out four distinguishing characteristics for the series. They are: 1) This series seeks to display exegetical accuracy. The desire is to handle God's Word faithfully, even while every volume may not be verse-by-verse commentary. 2) The series has busy pastors in view by presenting its material in a readable, pastoral style rather than academic. 3) A desire to be known for the "inclusion of helpful illustrations and theological driven applications. 4) To exalt Christ in every book of the Bible. They carefully state that, "we are not commending wild allegory or fanciful typology. We must be constrained to the meaning intended by the divine Author Himself, the Holy Spirit of God. However, we also believe that the Bible has a Messianic focus, and the authors in this series will exalt Christ from all of their texts." Some of the authors that will contribute to this series that is projected to be 48 volumes are: David Platt, Daniel Akin, Tony Merida, Al Mohler, Eric Mason, Mark Dever, Russ Moore, Matt Chandler, Francis Chan, Thabiti Anyabwile, J.D. Greear and Paige Patterson. This is a very respectable list of pastors and authors to contribute to this series.The volume Exalting Jesus in Mark is written by Daniel Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC. Akin writes in a way that is accessible for most readers, and beneficial for all.
