Hi, Julcol87... You might want to pick up a copy of "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth" by Doctors Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart (You can find it on Amazon for under 8 USD.) They recommend choosing commentaries based on the following considerations: 1. The commentary should be exegetical 2. The commentary should be based on the original languages of Scripture 3. The commentary should discuss all possible meanings of a given text, offering the pros and cons of each, before the author presents his preferred meaning 4. The commentary should discuss text-critical questions 5. The commentary should discuss the historical background of texts as appropriate, and provide solid historical information at the beginning of sections (i.e., books, etc.) 6. The commentary should give bibliographies so that you can further study issues if you wish Personally, I would have started the list with the following points: 1. The commentary should not depart from Christian orthodoxy 2. The commentary should have stood the test of time -- recognized by believers as having enduring value To that end, I would recommend the following commentaries: o Commentaries by John Calvin (1540-1563) o Commentary on the Whole Bible by Matthew Henry (1706-1721) o Exposition of the Entire Bible by John Gill (1746-1748) o A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments by Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown (1871) These four commentaries are in the public domain. That means you can find them free online. You can also get them with e-sword (www.e-sword.net) -- a Bible tool that I use regularly. In Him, Doc |
