John MacArthur has announced a new commentary series: the "MacArthur Old Testament Commentary." The first volume, Zechariah, has just been released.
He has preached comparatively little from the Old Testament during his years of ministry (being a loyal, if leaky, dispensationalist), yet he says every Old Testament book will be covered. My thought: there are 39 books, some of them quite long, and he's nearly 84 (this June). He says he's getting help from the faculties at both Master's University and Master's Seminary. So, I figure it'll actually be a university and seminary project with MacArthur serving as sort of a general editor, because ain't no way he's preaching through the entire Old Testament to do this. (He made one appearance at the recently-concluded Shepherd's Conference and has not yet returned to the pulpit on Sundays, as he's still recovering from his recent surgery to clean out his arteries.)
It'll be interesting to see how this turns out - and how long it will take.
