A good "teaching commentary" without all the right theology!

I bought this commentary thinking that I would learn some great theology and such, but I guess I didn't look at the cover close enough at the time to see where the author was taught his theology: Dallas Theological Seminary. Throughout the commentary there seems to be a "dispensational" slant where it can be applied (more often than one might think). If you agree with dispensationalism (the Scofield type, that is) then you may find this OK. But for that reason, I do not approve of using this tool, especially to teach younger Christians and children, who are not as discerning about these things. If you are a "discerning teacher", then it CAN be useful...but be warned. I think there are more solid choices.
Mr. Richards has put much work into this and, again, it can have some use... hence my giving it three stars. I just wish his theology was more solid with the covenants in the Bible not the man-observed epochs/dispensations that seem to influence his perspective.

For Sunday School teachers, first the Bible, then the T.C.

If you teach Sunday School and you have to prepare your own lessons the Teachers Commentary is an excellent resource for completing your task. This book can be used by teachers of children as well as teachers of adults. It gives a clear understanding of difficult passages as well as "links to life" and questions that you can use to focus your class. One of the great joys of teaching is knowing how much that you will learn about God yourself with the assistance of the Teachers Commentary.
