    This was the first real academic commentary that I used when I first started preaching. After all these years, I still regularly turn to it for background information and alternate thoughts on the scripture. JFB is a great resource for you to use in your Bible studies.

    The most popular scholarly current commentary of the Bible. This is a very well written, but highly technical, current commentary of the Bible. The footnotes are exhaustive. The only two things that keep me give it my 100% full endorsement is the price and the overly academic diction. However, if you can make it past…

    John Gill (1697 – 1771) was a Baptist scholar and a Calvinist. His commentary is his most famous work that has stood the test of time. I use John Gill’s commentary often during my teaching although I am not a Calvinist. His research is extensive and he is faithful to the biblical text.

    As a former DJ at a Gospel radio station and radio preacher for decades, J Vernon McGee is one of my heroes in the faith. This commentary has the same tone, spirituality, and common sense in his radio program. If you want a great Bible commentary then you can get a copy on Amazon on…

    I had the opportunity to listen to Wayne Grudem’s six hour presentation on Christian Theology this week based on his exceptional systematic theology text which I read in seminary. I find myself agreeing with Grudem more than most theologians and appreciate the high regard he holds scripture and logic. The only things I have found…

    Hands down, this is my favorite Bible reference. Brother Dake (1902-1987) put together the best reference for Pentecostal Evangelicals in our libraries. There are a few points that I disagree with Brother Dake but I can count them on the fingers of both hands.
