The Expositor's Bible Commentary (Volume 3) - Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel Hardcover – July 5, 1992

The Gold Medallion Award-winning Expositor’s Bible Commentary is a major contribution to the study and understanding of the Scriptures. Providing pastors and Bible students with a comprehensive and scholarly tool for the exposition of the Scriptures and the teaching and proclamation of their message, this twelve-volume reference work has become a staple of seminary and college libraries and pastors’ studies worldwide. The seventy-eight contributors come from the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand, and from many denominations, including Anglican, Baptist, Brethren, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, and Reformed. They represent the best in evangelical scholarship committed to the divine inspiration, complete trustworthiness, and full authority of the Bible. The Expositor’s Bible Commentary uses the New International Version for its English text, but also refers freely to other translations and to the original languages. Each book of the Bible has, in addition to its exposition, an introduction, outline, and bibliography. Notes on textual questions and special problems are correlated with the expository units; transliteration and translation of Semitic and Greek words make the more technical notes accessible to readers unacquainted with the biblical languages. In matters where marked differences of opinion exist, commentators, while stating their own convictions, deal fairly and irenically with opposing views.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'a roaring success. Both form and style contribute to readability, and the scholarship is sound without being pedantic or tedious.' (Christianity Today)

'...a very helpful addition to the library of anyone interested in studying and teaching the Scriptures more effectively.' (The Seminary Review)

'...excellent series...a valuable reference source in any evangelical pastor's library.' (The Evangelical Beacon)

'...one of the greatest pieces of religious literature published in this generation. We cannot recommend it too highly.' (Pulpit Workshop)

'For those needing a good commentary, you will find in this set one of the best.' (The Baptist Sentinel)

'It is the kind of commentary that should be in all church libraries as well as in homes of persons who care to understand the Bible beyond Americanized ideologies of self-oriented experience.' (Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society)

'The 78 authors represent the best evangelical scholarship in the English-speaking world...a rich feast.' (Crux)

'The author list [of the Expositore's Bible Commentary] reads like a page from a 'who's who of evangelical Bible scholars. A quality product. Unquestionably wise for the serious student to plan to secure each volume.' (Eternity)

It arrived promptly and in great condition. Although it didn't match the illustration as indicated in the description, I was delighted to find that it matched the rest of the set in our church library. It's a wonderful set that sees a lot of usage.

Mr. Ronald E. Miller

Excellent Commentary from Reformed Perspective

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2000

Verified Purchase

Based on the New International Version, this detailed commentary includes analysis of the major interpretations of each passage. Hebrew knowledge not necessary, but helpful. Language notes are separated. Each 'book' includes Introduction and Outline, NIV Text, Commentary Discussion including all major views, and Language notes. Emphasis is on what text meant to the people it was originally written for. Does not include practical application, as the primary goal is to fully understand what the text says and means. College and Graduate Level Reading.

The commentary is very helpful as it plainly exegetes the text in language that is clear and true.

A little older version but still very helpful and reliable. Have used it a few times already and it was very helpful in my sermon prep and general studies. Very satisfied.

We use these commentaries in our Torah classes when we are studying the Tanakh/Torah. I highly recommend the commentaries by this author.

Great bible study assistance with a lot of theology and commentary.

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2014

I like this commentary even though I don't like the NIV Bible translation it uses. I have only read Ezra & part of the Esther commentary. It could be more thorough, but does a pretty good job of giving some history of the book. I was a little disappointed that the Battle of Salamis & Thermopylae weren't more than a mention for the Esther Commentary but it really has little to do with the Book of Esther so I can't fault the author.
