ICC NT Commentary

ICC NT Commentary is an “academic-level commentary” focusing on linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological considerations.

Brief from Wikipedia.org

The International Critical Commentary (or ICC) is a series of commentaries in English on the text of the Old Testament and New Testament. It is currently published by T&T Clark, now an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing.

Initially started over one hundred years ago, the International Critical Commentary series has been a highly regarded academic-level commentary on the Bible. It aims to marshal all available aids to exegesis: linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological. No unifying scheme is sought, but each scholar has been free to express their expertise.[1][2]


Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement
7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it....  Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.

"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.

Read the 7-page article: Brown, The Devil's Mission of Amusement.

Originally edited by Samuel Rolles Driver, Alfred A. Plummer and Charles Augustus Briggs (whom the Presbyterian Church in the USA excommunicated for heretical views on Scripture), the series has been in the hands of various editors since. The current editors are Stuart Weeks and Christopher M. Tuckett.
