Bible CommentaryAll titles are alphabetically sequenced by Author. Scroll down to view.As with all book-sellers, the offer of a book for sale should not be taken as an endorsement of its entire content. There is hardly a commentator anywhere, even among the very good ones like John Phillips or Harry Ironside, who will not occasionaly criticise the AV text. To dismiss them all, on that account, is to miss out on much else that is very good. Eat the meat and spit out the bones  Studies in Galatians. £7.95 M.R.DeHaanMD., Kregel, 1960, 183pp., paperback. Dr. DeHaan wrote, “This Epistle to the Galatians was written to the Gentiles in Galatia who had believed the Gospel. But the message is as much needed, and even more, in these days of a mongrel gospel of grace and law.” Twenty-two studies. 
Expository Discourses on the Book of Genesis. £13.00. (Cover not as shown) Andrew Fuller, Forgotten Books, Orig. 1836, Modern reprint, 384 pp., paperback. Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) was a Particular Baptist ministering in England. Though I do not share the basic tenets of reformed Calvinists, their devotional and expositional skills can sometimes be a great blessing. This is a helpful commentary. (07/16)  A Comment on Ruth. £10.00 Thomas Fuller, Forgotten Books, Original 1650, 213 pp., paperback. "Lit up with flashes of his irrepressible wit." Spurgeon.  The Contemplations of Bishop Hall. £22.50 Joseph Hall, Tentmaker Publications, 2009 (Originally 1860), 602 pp., hardback. "Need I commend Bishop Hall's Contemplations to your affectionate attention? What sound sense! What concealed learning! His style is pithy and witty...and has a sacred unction about it..." C. H. Spurgeon. "Though weak, I often spent two hours in my evening retirements and prayed over my Greek Testament and Bishop Hall's most excellent contemplations." George Whitefield. Hall was born in 1574, on the heels of the Reformation. Like others of his day, he appears to have a Calvinistic view but this is not a disraction. Like his contemporary, John Trapp, he is devout, plain, powerful and memorable. This is a big book, almost A4.  Commentary on the Whole Bible. £55.00 Matthew Henry, Hardback, 6 Volumes, Boxed “Every minister ought to read Matthew Henry entirely and carefully through once at least.” Spurgeon. Chiefly a devotional commentary. Arguably the best commentary on the market except for prophecy.  The Book of Jonah. £7.00 James W. Knox. 1997, 138 pp., paperback. "The first volume of the Christ-Honoring (sic) Commentary Series takes the reader through the four chapters of Jonah with a line for line, and in some cases word for word, exposition of the text."  The Book of Malachi. £10.00 James W. Knox, 2010, 317 pp., paperback. "This text is a must. Consider it God's News for Modern Man. You should read this for yourself and give one to someone you love; the sooner the better."  The Book of Titus. £7.00 James W. Knox. 2001, 191 pp., paperback.. "The fourth volume in the Christ-Honoring (sic) Commentary Series began as a term paper in a Pastoral Epistles course, lay in a file cabinet for two decades, and now emerges to deal with the ministry, church life and personal holiness."  The Book of Zechariah. £8.00 James W. Knox. 1998, 261 pp., paperback. "The second volume of the Christ-Honoring (sic) Commentary Series tackles what many believe to be the most difficult book in the Bible. verse by verse and word by word exposition will give the reader insight and understanding into the literal truth of this portion of prophetic scripture."  Commentary on Galatians. £9.50 Martin Luther, Kregel, 1979, 388pp., paperback. (Cover not as shown). “This is an outstanding, doctrinally sound, comprehensive commentary. The verse-by-verse exposition offers penetrating insights into Luther’s theology. It is also a careful analysis and clear presentation of Paul’s doctrine, written for all to understand.” A wonderful antidote to the modern subtle additions of various forms of works to the Gospel.  Daniel - The Times of the Gentiles and the Times of Jerusalem. £23.50 "Premillenial, Dispensational, King James Version. A Commentary and Survey Series: Based on Sound and Influential Bible Institute Material from a Past Generation." Personally, this is far and away the best commentary on Daniel I have ever read. It is packed with information, always faithful to the KJV, and frequently correcting even mainstream premillenial teachings. (C.T)  Genesis to the Exodus. £20.00 "Premillenial, Dispensational, King James Version. A Commentary and Survey Series: Based on Sound and Influential Bible Institute Material from a Past Generation."  Revelation- God's Final Word. £22.50 "Here's the book that concludes and expands the book of Daniel. Premillenial, Dispensational, King James Version. A Commentary and Survey Series: Based on Sound and Influential Bible Institute Material from a Past Generation."  Commentaries by John Phillips. John Phillips was an English preacher who studied, I believe, under Stephen Olford. He ministered in the U.S. for many years. His commentaries are based on the KJV with a few rare corrections to the text. I find them of great help in sermon preparation as, like Olford, he was very skilled in the 'art of apt alliteration.' They are devotional and exhibit a wide amount fo reading. Great for non-preachers too. Exploring Genesis. £13.50 Kregel, 379 pp., hardback.

The Life of David (Vols 1 & 2) £12.00 each. A W Pink, Wakeman Classics, 2011, 382 pp., hardback and D.J. “The Gleanings volumes have all been reprinted many times. They continue to be of inestimable value to preachers… They also provide the very best personal devotional reading.”  Commentaries by Dr. Peter S. Ruckman. All of Dr. Ruckman's commentaries almost unique inasmuch as the KJV text is never departed from. They are also almost unique inasmuch as his criticisms of modern scholars are often caustic. The former uniqueness makes him unpopular with modern translators and the latter makes him unpopular with many truly saved and sound brethren. Much very helpful commentary with the exception of the teaching regarding O.T. salvation by faith plus works. I include them because I use them myself and find them very helpful. The choice, of course, is yours! The Book of Genesis. £17.00 paperback, £21.00 Red hardback. Bible Baptist Bookstore, 849 pp. Genesis approaches the beginnings of the universe and man from a believing and doctrinal perspective.

The Book of Joshua. £13.75 paper, £19.00 Red hardback. A commentary based on Dr. Ruckman's Sunday School classes on the first of the historical books of the Old Testament.

The geography of the book is tied into associated events in the rest of the Old Testament, with a map at the end to help the reader locate the major cities in Joshua, as well as the division of the tribes in the land. 406 pages.

Spurgeon’s own commentary on every verse of the Psalms is extremely insightful…You’ll find a wealth of illuminating extracts and quotes from hundreds of commentators– contemporaries of Spurgeon as well as the great Puritan expositors of the 17th and 18th C.”  The Complete Bible Commentary. £17.50 Two of the godliest men I have ever met in my forty years as a believer, both recommended George Williams' Commentary to me. A relative of his told me that sometimes preaching in the street, he would get stoned until the blood was running in his shoes. This truly is a gem of a Commentary. Being a late 19th century preacher, he fell for the R.V. as did most of his contemporaries. References to the R.V. are the only major down-side to this work. CT. |
