Explanatory Bible: A.P. Lopukhin. Old Testament and New Testament

The book is prepared based on the classic work of the outstanding Russian biblicist, theologian, and professor of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy Alexander Pavlovich Lopukhin. In his monumental work, which had 20 reprints until 1917, he gathered and analyzed... all the biblically chronological, archaeological, historical, and ethnographic materials available by the end of the 19th century. His comments on the books of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the most authoritative, competent, and detailed interpretation of the Bible. This is a remarkable example of popularizing theological science, contributing to the spiritual education and enlightenment of people; written in a fully accessible language. The Explanatory Bible by A.P. Lopukhin is intended for the widest audience of readers — everyone who contemplates their moral upbringing and spiritual purpose.
