Bible Commentaries
I'm curious to learn more about the Bible commentaries I use. My favorites from past and present are 1) Bible Knowledge Commentary--gives context, solid, most helpful utilitarian one, my "go to" 1) (tied) TSK Cross Reference/Vincent's Word Studies--although not true commentaries, they allow me to "check" this Bible against itself. Gold. 2) Alexander MacLaren (wordy but beautiful) 3) Matthew Henry--he's really behind Biblical Illustrator now in terms of use---I went to him heavily for years, also wordy and beautiful, but I haven't used him as much in recent years, voluminous 4) Biblical Illustrator--a sort of mash up of his favorites, many older, sometimes beautiful, often too wordy Ones I try but all get mixed up in my mind.....trying to learn more and sort them out: JFB---This one volume commentary was prepared by Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown and published in 1871. Amazon: With its scholarly insights, Jamieson, Fausset and Brown
