Bible Answer: Billingclerk, Hi! My name is Steve. In reference to your question I would suggest a commentary that is not too technical for you. The Expositor's Bible Commentary Abridged Edition is a good one. The Bible Knowledge Commentary. And the NIV Commentary on the Bible (2volumes). Obviously you have a computer so I wouldn't waste my money buying any books that are "public domain", i.e. Matthew Henry Commentary, Albert Barnes Notes on the Bible etc. You can simply go to e-sword.net/downloads and see all the different things you can download for free! You may also want to invest in a good word study dictionary like; The New International Dictionary of N.T. Theology. This uses GK numbers but in the back of the book, you can find the number chart thar references the two. I hope this will help you. But before you buy, take a good look at them first. You can go to amazon.com and type them up in a search engine, and some (not all) of them will allow you to glance at a few pages to help you decide. Have fun digging deeper into God's precious word! In Christ, steve P.S. If you like to study on the computer you'll really want to invest in the "Zondervan Bible Study Library 5.0 Leader's Edition" cd. It will run about 60.00 on amazon.com, but about 100 dollars at your local Christian bookstore. This is "well" worth the investment. |
