Bible Note: Hi Doc, I will get some of the names for you as I am able, as I have noticed these in passing, without really paying a lot of attention to which ones they were. I apologize if I erroneously gave you the impression that I was promoting those commentaries that I referred to. I intended simply to say that they existed. My purpose was to show that there are a lot of different ideas out there. I do recall saying something to the effect that I would more readily choose one that did not deny the plain reading of the Bible. Anytime I have to assume something that is not in the text, or start re-arranging elements of the text, that is a big bright warning light to me, and let's me know that I may be going down a wrong road. Thank you for your instruction on how to study the Bible. Personally, I only use commentaries after I have already spent considerable time studying the scriptures themselves. If I find a scripture that seems particularly difficult to understand, or that grammatically and contextually can mean varying things, I will check numerous commentaries to see what has been written. There are about 15 or so that I look at with any regularity, with more that come up occasionally. As with anyone who interprets or teaches the scriptures, whether the commentator who publishes a book, the preacher who stands at the pulpit, or a writer on the web, none of us are right all the time, many of us are right at least once in a while, and most of us that are truly seeking to serve the Lord are somewhere between those two. I don't know of any commentary that I would recommend to someone lock stock and barrel. Anyway, thank you for your recommendations and reminders! :-) Love in Christ, Mark |
