<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The book of Numbers is a misunderstood book of the Bible. It is about more than just numbers. Instead, when read closely, one gets the chance to follow the Israelites on their "Journey with God in the Desert". The Hebrew title, Bammidbar, means "In the Desert", indicating that the setting is the most important part of the story.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The book of Numbers is a misunderstood book of the Bible. It is about a lot more than just numbers. Rather, it is about the people's journey with God in the desert. The Hebrew title of the book, <em>Bammidbar</em>, means "In the Desert" indicating that the setting is the most important part of the story. The God who delivered his people from Egypt is the same God who will lead them through the wilderness and give them the Promised Land. But as the book of Numbers shows us, often it is through the experience of being in a desert that God fulfils his purpose. It is the same thing for God's people today. This commentary opens up the value of this often overlooked Old Testament book to those who find themselves or their churches in a barren place but with the presence of the Lord alongside them.</p><p>The Asia Bible Commentary Series empowers Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the Body of Christ in Asia by providing pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>The book of Numbers must be one of the least read books in the Bible simply because the title "Numbers" unfortunately sounds rather boring. The book is really about the Israelites' journey through the desert and their journey from slavery to nationhood as the people of God. Dr Modine's detailed knowledge of the Old Testament is demonstrated in this helpful commentary. He helps to bring this book alive and brings out lessons which we can apply to discipleship today.</em><br /> <strong>Neville Bartle, DMiss, </strong><br /> Former missionary to Papua New Guinea</p><p><em>Mitchel Modine brings out the dynamic spirit of the book of Numbers to challenge readers to pause and think deeper in order to capture its truths and their current relevance.</em><br /> <strong>Jason Valeriano Hallig, PhD, </strong><br /> Professor, Asia Graduate School of Theology, Philippines</p><p> </p><br>
