2 | Bible Commentary? | 1 Timothy | JonnyRay49423 | 4257 | ||
There are many individual commentaries on each book of the Bible-then there are one volume Bible Commentaries-so what are you looking for? Also one usually wants a commentary that does not conflict with ones theological tradition. Maybe what you need is not a one volume commentary but a good study Bible? For what is worth I recommend these books for basic Bible study--- 1.Evangelical Commentary on the Blbie [published by Baker] Editor Walter A.Elwell/this is easy to read and evangelical. 2. Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible-two volumes Edited by Walter A. Elwell published by Baker Book House 3. Evangelical Dictionary of Theology Editor Walter A. Elwell 4. Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology Edited by Walter A. Elwell 5. Topical Analysis Of The Bible Editor Walter A. Elwell 6. a good concordance like Young's or Strong's |

Dear JonnyRay: I wholeheartedly agree with you when you recommend ANY title by Walter Elwell. He's at the very top of the list of authors/editors of Bible reference books. I have his Topical Analysis of the Bible and his Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology. I wouldn't be without them. Both of them are invaluable and incomparable. You show very good taste, knowledge and judgment when you recommend Walter Elwell. Thanks for a helpful, informative comment on the subject. --JVH0212 | ||||||

Dear JonnyRay: Thanks for the recommendations. Have you read "The History of the Bible in English" by F.F. Bruce? (That may not be the exact title, but it's close. That's the subject, anyway.) It may sound dry, but, in fact, is not. Instead it's a great read. Excellent book and very enjoyable to read. Author is *extremely* knowledgeable and articulate. --JVH0212 | ||||||
