Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary wins ECPA Award!

John Walton, Old Testament, Illustrated Bible Background CommentaryI just wanted to post a quick CONGRATULATIONS! to Dr. John Walton, his team of scholars, and my colleagues at Zondervan Academic on winning the ECPA Christian Book Award in the reference category for the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary: Old Testament (affectionately dubbed “ZIBBCOT” around Z).

This commentary set took years of hard work by all involved to produce. It’s an amazing blend of accessibility and thorough academic work with full-color photographs. If you’re preaching or teaching out of the Old Testament at all I encourage you to look at this set.

Here’s a humorous video a colleague made to help spread the word about this set. Gotta love the little pb&j manna sandwiches.
