Why Get This Book

Standing in front of a wall of commentaries and wondering which one is worth the money? John Evans summarizes and briefly evaluates recent and many older commentaries on every book of the Bible, noting each one's approach and how useful it is for interpretation. It's arranged in canonical order and includes appendices to help you build a personal library. It's for pastors, seminarians, Bible teachers and serious lay students who want to buy wisely. Honest note: it's a reference guide, not devotional reading, and Evans writes from an evangelical perspective, so readers from other traditions may weigh some picks differently. Next step: read 2 Timothy 2:15 and choose one book of the Bible to study deeply this season.
