Notes on religion, philosophy, and politics from Henry Neufeld, creator of this site
The following are examples of commentaries from series of commentaries that include the Old Testament. Each book entry is just an example. For other volumes in the series, follow the series link.
You will want to select a commentary that is appropriate to your particular task, whether that is personal study, preaching, in-depth exegesis, Bible study in the original languages, or devotional reading.
Some categories of commentaries are:
You may want to look at one volume of a commentary series before going crazy about buying a number of them. Some series I am very anxious to own or at least to get via interlibrary loan. Others are not so important. With commentaries, let the buyer beware!
| The Book of Numbers (New International C | ||
![]() | Energion.com Description: This is an outstanding commentary on Numbers written from an evangelical Christian point of view. Some will be disappointed with the limited discussion of critical issues, but the discussion of theology and application will make this more valuable for the active preacher or teacher. | |

| Jeremiah (Anchor Bible, Vol 21) | ||
![]() | From Amazon.com: Jeremiah (Volume 21 in the acclaimed Anchor Bible), like most of the prophetic books, is an anthology containing a wide variety of literary forms. This remarkable diversity gives the work a special appeal for students of literature, who find here striking parallels to later writings; for example, in the "confessions" one hears a voice not unlike John Donne's in the Holy Sonnets, and in the war poetry, one is reminded of pieces written two and a half millennia after Jeremiah, the war poems of Stephen Crane. | |

| Deuteronomy | ||
![]() | From Amazon.com: In this outstanding commentary J. G. McConville offers a theological interpretation of the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy in the context of the biblical canon. He gives due attention to historical issues where these bear on what can be known about the settings in which the text emerged. His dominant method is one that approaches Deauteronomy as a finished work. | |

| Isaiah | ||
![]() | Energion.com Description: Brevard Childs was a pioneer in canonical criticism, and that work shows in this excellent commentary on Isaiah. Childs avoids many of the excesses of form, source, and redaction criticism. He reviews the results of these critical methodologies, but he emphasizes the canonical meaning in his exposition of each section and passage. | |

| Genesis | ||
![]() | From Amazon.com: Genesis--the Bible's account of human origins and the harbinger of human destiny--is a book teeming with critical problems. Who wrote it? When? Does the account of creation square with modern science? What about Adam and Eve?Derek Kidner not only provides a running exegetical commentary, but lucidly handles the tough issues that Genesis raises. His clear prose and theological insight will expand readers' understanding of God's character and of human nature and destiny. | |
