John and Acts

The Expositor's Bible Commentary #9

by Frank E. Gaebelein, Merrill C. Tenney (Contributor), Richard N. Longenecker (Contributor)

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.

[Phil Kelley · Rating 2 out of 5]

First point: you are never done with a reference book - a limitation to the system. What's new about that? Second: After using The Expositor's Bible Commentary on Matthew (Volume 8), I was expecting the same approach. How can I express my disappointment? I am so tired of commentaries, annotations, and notes that just say what is obvious about the text. I can figure that out for myself, thank you (my Harpers Bible Dictionary was more useful). The commentary on John falls into the "So tired" category. For an example of how to do a commentary, see Volume 8.
