Bible Knowledge Commentary

This item was mentioned during a Bible study I attended, and it was rated highly by the commentator. So I started my search for it at a reasonable price. Yours was the best price, and the Commentary is wonderful. I have been using it for my present Bible studies, and have not been disappointed in the information and ease of using it.

Excellent commentary from a trusted source

This commentary, done by the faculty of Dallas Theological Seminary, is an excellent Bible Study resource that comes from a seminary with a reputation for outstanding teaching and conservative Bible beliefs. It is very readable for the average person, and helps me better understand the background and logic of what was written originally in languages I have no clue how to translate or read, such as Hebrew and Greek. I often just pick a book out of the Bible, and follow along in my NIV Bible and the commentary for that particular book of the Bible, and get a whole new understanding on what message God is passing along in His word. There is so much history in the Bible that I'm ignorant of, and this commentary greatly helps fill in the gaps of my Biblical knowledge when reading anything in the Old or New Testaments. On those occasions when I am asked to lead a Bible study on a particular passage, I go to this resource first to get an overall understanding of the passage and likely original intent of the words of the passage.

I love the fact that the text that occurs in the NIV translation is in boldface in the commentary which helps me understand the exact passage or phrase that is being explained. I also love the explanation of some of the original words that were penned that sometimes cannot easily be translated into English in just one word.

I believe this is an excellent resource for anyone doing Bible Study or wanting to know more about God's Word, and if you like the NIV translation of the Bible as I do, these books exactly parallel that translation to make it very easy to follow along not only the words that were written and translated, but the ideas that those words may have been trying to express. I love the fact that where there is some chance for interpretation of the original words, that this commentary presents scholarly thought on that and possible meanings of the original words.

Because it is essentially the product of one well-regarded seminary, the product is consistent throughout in it's view of the Scriptures and conservative in its viewpoint. While many contributed to the work, it reads as if it was written by one person who had a tremendous storehouse of knowledge of the original languages and both the letter of the translation as well as likely thoughts it was trying to convey in the original languages. This is a fantastic companion to any NIV Bible and makes Bible study much more enjoyable and meaningful. No serious NIV Bible study should be without it.

Bible Commentary

I own several commentaries now and this commentary is easy to read and it is very thourough. Doctrinally I have found it to be awesome (which is the most important aspect of a commentary). I consider this to be the best over-all and the best valued NT & OT Bible commentary that I have found.

great commentaries

These commentaries are great for someone who wants to learn more about the Bible. It is nice to have just two novels as opposed to other more lengthy commentaries. They are concise, yet they give plenty of info on most passages.
