"It is not the Bible which divides us but what we bring to the Bible. We come with our minds already conditioned, and in the words of God we still hear the echo of our own. We fail to listen to God in our obsession with our own thoughts." Myron S. Augsburger *This is especially harmful if we've sat under one specific theology or denominational faith tradition all our life!

Many of the textbooks are previews only.

And an Expositional commentary only discusses the language and grammar used in scripture and not a summary of theological/morality to be derived from scripture.
