Preaching the Word - 1 Kings
The book of 1 Kings tells the stories of 14 different kings and the power at play throughout the monarchies of ancient Israel and Judah. Designed to help modern readers—especially pastors and Bible teachers—understand and apply the message of 1 Kings to their own lives, this commentary by experienced Bible expositor John Woodhouse walks through the text verse by verse. Part of Crossway's award-winning Preaching the Word commentary series, this volume offers insightful observations, powerful illustrations, and practical applications to equip readers to see how these stories of power and politics bear witness to the coming King of kings, the hope of the world.
