- Original Meaning. Concise exegesis to help readers understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its historical, literary, and cultural context.
- Bridging Contexts. A bridge between the world of the Bible and the world of today, built by discerning what is timeless in the timely pages of the Bible.

Reviews for 1 and 2 Kings
“At a time when many pastors are deeply in need of inspiration and encouragement, these volumes would be a good investment for congregations.”
Christianity Today
“Brings the ancient and powerful Word of God into the present so that it can be heard and believed with all the freshness of a new day.”
Eugene H. Peterson
“There are commentaries that provide insights into the historical, cultural, and literary contexts of the Bible. Others get us into the pastoral application of the text for our cultural moment. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a commentary series that does both with excellence? That’s exactly what NIVAC accomplishes. This series is one of the first places I turn to in my theological process for exegesis and building the bridge of application.”
Joel Muddamalle, director of theology and research, Proverbs 31 Ministries
The NIV Application Commentary series has been an essential resource for a generation of pastors and laypeople seeking a deeper understanding of the biblical text and its relevance today. The series features careful exposition of the text by some of the most well-respected evangelical scholars alive today with an eye to contemporary relevance. I'm delighted to commend it to a new generation for personal and group Bible study, preaching, and classroom use.
