Bible Question: I would like some opinions as to what the best and, if possible, easiest to understand Bible commentary is. Thanks |
Bible Answer: 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 |
