«It is as we feed on the Word and meditate on the message it contains that the Spirit
of God can vitalize that which we have received, and bring forth through us the word
of knowledge that will be as
full of power and life as when He, the Spirit
of God, moved upon holy men
of old and gave them these inspired
Scriptures.»
One difference is that today's commentaries hold very little
knowledge of Torah culture and even the Jewish dialogue going on in the New Testament and although they have a lot
of knowledge, it is diluted by a
full cultural engagement which leaves a lot out with a very gentile understanding
of Scripture.
