Branch Exposition of the Bible (2 Vols.)
A great deal of biblical scholarship is written for academics and fails to edify readers or strengthen their Christian ministry. Yet, Christians need to be nourished by the word of God so they can mature in faith and righteousness. Filling this gap, The Branch Exposition of the Bible is a resource for preachers, scholars and ordinary Christians alike, to help open God’s word and shed its light into life, ministry and teaching.
Inspired by the words of the great reformer Martin Luther about shaking every branch of Scripture, and with experience in ministering across Africa, India and the West, Michael A. Eaton helps us understand the meaning of the Bible and taste its fruit. This exposition of the Old and New Testament accessibly engages with the biblical languages, gives application for our lives and leads us through each book of the Bible so that we can meet the resurrected Jesus Christ in the pages of Scripture.

Michael A. Eaton pastored pioneering, multi-ethnic churches in some of Africa’s biggest and most influential cities, including Nairobi, Johannesburg, and Lusaka, for 40 years.

Michael went to be with the Lord in 2017, before The Branch Exposition of the Bible reached publication.
