I had Covid back when things were crazy back then and my wife quarantined me in my son’s bedroom. While I was there I spent the ten days reading William varner’s commentary on James as well as Karen Jobes’ commentary on first Peter. Everyone knows how good Jones’s commentary is, but I can honestly say that Varner’s commentary on James really changed my life. It really like fundamentally altered the way I thought about life and made James one of my favorite books of the Bible. I would not hesitate to say it’s the best commentary I’ve ever read (and I’ve read quite a few!)

Osborne's commentaries on the NT.

Can u make a video showing us your library God bless you more

The mentor series has very quickly become one of my very favorite series. Most of the volumes are on the Old Tesatment, which don’t get as much coverage, and every volume I have used has been excellent. Unfortunately it seems to get left behind a lot because it’s a reformed series

I have the Genesis Record, it is awesome!

I have the Genesis Record and I have never heard anyone talk about it! What a nice surprise!!!

Thank you for clarifying that the New International Biblical Commentary series became the Understanding the Bible Commentary series. I had been wondering what happened to the NIBC and why I couldn't find the books in Logos.

I wish that Ligonier would put together an entire bible commentary set drawing from their bible studies in their table talk magazine.

Thank you for doing this video. I like RC Sproul's commentaries. He writes so well, and I can always understand them. I also use Richard Pratt's 1&2 Chronicles is also a favorite. I like anything by Dr. Pratt. His Third Millennium classes are terrific! Both Sproul and Pratt are Reformed, so their views align with mine.

Some of my favorites that I am always surprised more people do not mention:

-Leviticus by Samuel Balentine (Interpretation)
-1&2 Samuel by Tony Cartledge (Smyth & Helwys)
-Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs by Ellen Davis (Westminster)
-Mark by R. Alan Culpepper (Smyth & Helwys)
-Revelation by Brian Blount (New Testament Library)

This is a good list. I took Romans with Douglas Moo at Trinity, and James Edwards was the other Romans commentary he assigned in addition to his own commentary. So you know he thought very highly of it.

You don’t hear too much about Robert Mounce’s small commentary on Matthew but I thought he nailed it. He did a great job of explaining the text and getting right to the point.

David Guzik‘s 62 volumes of expositions almost never get mentioned, but I find them so helpful for sermon preparation.

Thanks for this video. You have just increased my Bible commentary book lust. LOL! I will look into the commentary on 1 & 2 Chronicles, one of my favorite OT books. Eerdmans has combined FF Bruce's commentaries on John and John's Epistles. Well worth it! A suggestion: please slow down in your speaking. It seems like you are rushing through your commentary on the commentaries. Also, please show more of the interior of the commentaries so that we can get a better idea of its format. Another helpful feature would be for you to share what features in the commentary being reviewed are useful to you, unusual, etc. Thanks for all you do! I am subscribed to your channel and enjoy it very much.

Many people here are aware of Matthew Henry's commentary, I'm sure. Nevertheless, if I could only have one commentary set it would be Matthew Henry's complete commentary set.
