Gary North's Commentaries in His Series, An Economic Commentary on the Bible.
Gary North
These commentaries are part of an experiment. This is the first time that anyone has attempted to write Bible commentaries that are limited to an academic field. The project began in May, 1973, with one brief chapter on Genesis 1:1. It is not yet finished. Still to go: commentaries on the historical books, Joshua to Esther, plus Job, the Song of Solomon, Mark, and John. But most of the relevant passages in Mark are covered in Matthew and Luke. There may be as few as three verses in John, just as there were few in Revelation. The printed pages so far total over 9,000. Three more commentaries are written but not typeset: the Psalms, the prophets, and the New Testament epistles, which include Revelation.

Luke
Gary North
Luke is the Gospel of the Great Economic Reversal: from poor to rich and rich to poor. It does not teach that everyone will get rich in the long run. Neither does it teach that poverty is God's preferred way of life. It teaches that there are winners and losers in history. . . . keep reading

Acts
Gary North
The Book of Acts is the socialists' favorite book in the New Testament. This is because Acts 2 and Acts 4 record that the church in Jerusalem owned property in common. There was a reason for this, which the socialists never mention. . . . keep reading

I Corinthians
Gary North

I Timothy
Gary North
