Resources I recommend for Old Testament study

Pentateuch Resources

A viewer recently asked me if I would discuss commentaries and other study resources sometime. So I thought I’d share a few that I find helpful for anyone looking to better understand the first five books of the Bible (i.e. the Torah/Pentateuch).

19:13 - How to “dig” into Scripture

Appreciate the video. You revealed your study method as well, which is very helpful. Please make some videos on one volume commentaries and journal articles.

[brendaboykin]

Thank you, JM🌹🌹🌹🌹Great vid. Love to see more. Perhaps Judges, particularly Deborah. Also, it'd be interesting to hear about some of the other women in the OT(Miriam, Ruth, Esther, Ja'el, Bathsheba etc). Thanks for your contribution to the Body of Christ. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[beajung]

Thank you so much. I recently heard about Old Testament Use of the Old Testament and I can't wait to dig into it.

Are there any particular commentary serieses (I think that's a word) that you'd recommend. I think I remember during the Ruth's Chris filmings you recommended the Bible Speaks Today series as well as the ... For Everyone series by N. T. Wright.

I like the Old Testaments use of the Old Testament, however, I suspect that do the time restraints, you did not mention feature of this book that I found pleasantly surprising: list the verses where the New Testament uses passages from each Old Testament book that the New Testament uses.

Would just love any resource info you have time for!

[luissoto]

Thank you!! I like Franz Delitzsch commentary, Paul Billerbeck commentary, Hengstenberg Christology work, John Gill Commentary and works, John Lightfoot Commentary, Adam Clarke Commentary, Alfred Edeirshem works, Albert Barnes commentary, Catena commentary, and the book of Yashar / Jasher.

Most of them were christian hebraists of 1700s - 1800s. I think must of them can be found in Logos and TheWord software.

Love your channel, you have a new subscriber. God bless you!

[chavachava]

Can you recommend a new testament commentary that can go with the Zondervan illustrated you recommended?

[Rashard_D]

Genesis especially concerning the Nephilim and maybe (fallen angels that possessed men to mate with women ) 👈my opinion

[Cmusic]

So as a newly saved person I love it when video creators start by proving their desire for my money. Now I know to search elsewhere for tips on how to better study. Thank you for the lesson.
