All of the multivolume commentary series listed
below are available for Logos Bible Software. They are listed in alphabetical
order. For each commentary series, we give the
series title, publisher,
which Bible version(s) is followed,
how much Greek or Hebrew text appears,
number of volumes are included and
biblical books covered, a brief
description of the series, and links
to where you can buy it. You can click an image or series title to read
about a series in detail.
Additionally, each commentary is labeled for its
intended audience with one or more of
the following icons. Most commentaries receive a combination of labels, since
they are intended to serve more than one audience.
- The best of
biblical criticism with more of a scholarly focus. Some comments will be
driven by the academic agenda. The amount of theological reflection will
depend on the author and commentary series.
- Geared for
pastors and teachers, though built upon a solid academic foundation.
Accessible to serious lay people.
- Written with
a lay-audience in mind, though typically useful for preaching and teaching.
Note: The "intended audience" labels
and definitions are borrowed from Prof. Tyler F. Williams'
Old Testament Commentary Survey, with the author's permission. We take
responsibility for the application of the labels to each commentary series,
though we follow Prof. Williams' classifications in many cases. You may be
interested in viewing his survey, which discusses and classifies individual
volumes of OT commentary.

12 volumes covering 17 OT & 16 NT books
As stated in the general introduction, "This is a full-scale classic commentary
on Scripture consisting of selections in modern translation from the ancient
Christian writers." The vast array of writings from the Church Fathers—including
much that is available only in the ancient languages—have been combed for their
comment on Scripture. From these results, scholars with a deep knowledge of the
Fathers and a heart for the church have hand-selected material for each volume,
shaping, annotating and introducing it to today’s readers. Each portion of
commentary has been chosen for its salient insight, its rhetorical power and its
faithful representation of the consensual exegesis of the early church.
The Ancient
Christian Commentary on Scripture is an ecumenical project, promoting a
vital link of communication between the varied Christian traditions of today and
their common ancient ancestors in the faith. On this shared ground we listen as
leading pastoral theologians of eight centuries gather around the text of
Scripture and offer their best theological, spiritual and pastoral insights.
Available as a
series.

The Believers Church Bible Commentary Series
is published for all who seek more fully to understand the original message of
Scripture and its meaning for today—Sunday school teachers, members of Bible
study groups, students, pastors, and other seekers. The series is based on the
conviction that God is still speaking to all who will listen, and that the Holy
Spirit makes the Word a living and authoritative guide for all who want to know
and do God’s will.
Each volume illuminates the Scriptures; provides
historical and cultural background; shares necessary theological, sociological,
and ethical meanings; and, in general, makes "the rough places plain." Critical
issues are not avoided, but neither are they moved into the foreground as
debates among scholars. The series aids in the interpretive process, but it does
not attempt to supersede the authority of the Word and Spirit as discerned in
the gathered church.
The Believers
Church Bible Commentary is a cooperative project of Brethren in Christ
Church, Brethren Church, Church of the Brethren, Mennonite Brethren Church, and
Mennonite Church.

For over 400 years, many Christian
readers have read and studied the works and writings of John Calvin. In this

Christianity that John Calvin has had. These commentaries helped shape and

solid scholarship with practical usefulness. It is written with the layperson,
Bible study leader, preacher, or youthworker in mind.
The publisher says of the series, "Years ago a
movement was begun with the dream of uniting all Christians on the basis of a
common purpose (world evangelism) under a common authority (The Word of God).
The College Press NIV Commentary Series is a
serious effort to join the scholarship of two branches of this unity movement so
as to speak with one voice concerning the Word of God. Our desire is to provide
a resource for your study of the New Testament that will benefit you whether you
are preparing a Bible School lesson, a sermon, a college course or your own
personal devotions. Today as we survey the wreckage of a broken world, we must
turn again to the Lord and his Word, unite under his banner and communicate the
life-giving message to those who are in desperate need. This is our purpose."

Written by accomplished

The Preface to Genesis Vol 1 explains, "Each
volume is arranged in successive headed portions suitable for daily
study...Eleven contributors share the work, each being responsible for from one
to three volumes. The series is issued in the hope that it will do for the Old
Testament what Professor Barclay’s series succeeded so splendidly in doing for
the New Testament—make it come alive for the Christian believer in the twentieth
century. Its two-fold aim is the same as his. Firstly, it is intended to
introduce the reader to some of the more important results and fascinating
insights of modern Old Testament scholarship...The primary purpose of the
series, however, is not an academic one. Professor Barclay summed it up for his
New Testament series in the words of Richard of Chichester’s prayer—to enable
men and women 'to know Jesus Christ more clearly, to love Him more dearly, and
to follow Him more nearly.'"

6 volumes covering the whole Bible
An eighteenth-century masterwork of learning and devotion, this commentary on
the whole Bible was originally published as six volumes. Matthew Henry
(1662-1714) studied law at Gray's Inn and was ordained a Presbyterian minister
in 1687. He served churches in Chester and in Hackney, near London. He began
writing his famous commentary in 1701. Matthew Henry's warm mix of scholarship
and practical application has made his commentary a favorite of preachers and
devotional readers for nearly three hundred years.
F. W. Danker says of
Matthew Henry, "This humble Christian combines quaintness with felicitous
expression, and a balanced judgment with extraordinary insight into the meaning
of Scripture in a work not intended to be of critical value"

42 volumes covering the whole Bible
This series offers a full
interpretation of the biblical text, combining historical scholarship and
theological purpose. It brings an understanding of what the text says into
dialogue with the critical questions and problems of contemporary life and
faith. Interpretation revives the neglected
art of expository writing that explains the books of the Bible as the Holy
Scripture of a church active at worship and work. Teachers, preachers, and all
serious students of the Bible will find here an interpretation that takes
serious hermeneutical responsibility for the contemporary meaning and
significance of the biblical text.
The comments deal with whole portions or
sections of text that are used in teaching and preaching rather than with
individual verses and words. Exegetical study and hermeneutical reflection are
integrated into one readable expository essay. Each volume of this series
clarifies the sense of the text’s language in its literary-historical context
and reflects on the meaning of the text in light of its use in the liturgy and
the theology of the church. Each suggests ways in which the text addresses faith
and life today.
Each biblical book is presented for its most
effective use by teacher or preacher, taking into consideration its central
purpose, its use in the liturgical and confessional tradition and in
lectionaries, and its special significance for Christian ethics and theology.

13 volumes covering 18 NT books
Pastors with a passion for sound
exposition have joined forces with scholars with pastoral hearts to produce this
exciting commentary series. These 13 volumes, informed by the best of recent
evangelical scholarship, expound the implications of each New Testament book for
today's church. Within the unique series format, pastors, teachers and Bible
study leaders alike will find clear, forceful presentations of the heart of each
New Testament author's message, coupled with helpful attention to tough
exegetical issues.
The Preface states, "In an age of proliferating
commentary series, one might easily ask why add yet another to the seeming glut.
The simplest answer is that no other series has yet achieved what we had in
mind—a series to and from the church, that seeks to move from the text to its
contemporary relevance and application. No other series offers the unique
combination of solid, biblical exposition and helpful explanatory notes in the
same user-friendly format. No other series has tapped the unique blend of
scholars and pastors who share both a passion for faithful exegesis and a deep
concern for the church...
"Readers will find in each volume not only
traditional discussions of authorship and backgrounds, but useful summaries of
principal themes and approaches to contemporary application..."

A monumental work, the three-volume
Lectionary Commentary offers exegetical
essays on 513 biblical texts from the Revised Common Lectionary spanning the
three-year liturgical cycle. Written by seventy-eight pastors, priests, and
teachers from a variety of Christian traditions, these essays are meant
primarily to serve as exegetical "jump starts" for busy preachers.
Including every Sunday of the church years as
well as special holidays, The Lectionary
Commentary arranges the biblical texts in canonical order, making it useful
to all preachers, not just those who follow the lectionary. These three volumes
aim throughout to answer the question What does
the preacher need to know about this text in order to preach a faithful sermon
from it? Each essay closely considers its specific biblical text and
provides insightful theological reflection while remaining alert to our
contemporary context.

30 volumes of commentary
The first 30 volumes of the
monumental Luther's Works collection contain the Reformer's expositions of
various biblical books, both in the Old Testament and the New. These
commentaries are singular in their value to pastors, church historians, Luther
scholars, and ordinary Christians.
In his book
Multipurpose Tools for
Bible Study F. W. Danker remarks on Luther's commentaries, "For
originality and vigor we must go on to Martin Luther, whose interpretations
continue to provoke astonishment because of his extraordinary gift for
extracting the meaning from the wording. Of that dazzling monument to a master
exegete’s memory from pupils’ pens the tinker’s son John Bunyan wrote: 'I do
prefer this book of Martin Luther upon the Galatians, excepting the Holy Bible,
before all the books that ever I have seen, as most fit for a wounded
conscience.' In addition to Luther’s work on Galatians, consult his studies of
Genesis, Deuteronomy, and Psalms..."
On the subject of Bible versions, the
Introduction to Luther's Works states, "We have proceeded [by] translating
Luther’s translations. Where this could be done by the use of an existing
English version—King James, Douay, or Revised Standard—we have done so. Where it
could not, we have supplied our own."

12 volumes covering 16 NT books
This commentary series is
established on the presupposition that the theological character of the New
Testament documents calls for exegesis that is sensitive to theological themes
as well as to the details of the historical, linguistic, and textual context.
Such thorough exegetical work lies at the heart of these volumes, which contain
detailed verse-by-verse commentary preceded by general comments on each section
and subsection of the text.
An important aim of the NIGTC authors is to
interact with the wealth of significant New Testament research published in
recent articles and monographs. In this connection the authors make their own
scholarly contributions to the ongoing study of the biblical text.
The text on which these commentaries are based
is the UBS Greek New Testament, edited by Kurt Aland and others. While engaging
the major questions of text and interpretation at a scholarly level, the authors
keep in mind the needs of the beginning student of Greek as well as the pastor
or layperson who may have studied the language at some time but does not now use
it on a regular basis.
The following six volumes have been recognized
with awards: 1 Corinthians (twice), Philippians, Galatians, Colossians &
Philemon, and Hebrews.
Available as a

8 volumes covering 11 NT books
Designed both for serious students
and for general readers of the Bible, the PNTC volumes seek above all to make
clear the meaning of the text of Scripture as we have it. The scholars writing
these volumes interact with the most important, informed contemporary debate yet
avoid undue technical detail. Their ideal is a blend of rigorous exegesis and
exposition, scholarship and pastoral sensitivity, with an eye alert both to
biblical theology and to the contemporary relevance of the Bible.
While the New
International Version is the translation of choice for the English text,
Pillar authors base their exposition on the
Greek New Testament. They are deeply committed to a fresh wrestling with the
text, using every means at their disposal to “loosen the Bible from its pages”
to help readers understand what the text says and how to apply it to life today.
Underlying the approach of this series is the
fact that God stands over against us rather than we in judgment of him. When God
speaks to us in his Word, those who profess to know him must respond with
reverence, a certain fear, a holy joy, and a questing obedience. These attitudes
are reflected in the profoundly Christian stance of the PNTC authors toward the
text. With these values in place, the Pillar
commentaries will continue to be warmly welcomed by pastors, teachers, and
students everywhere.

Originally known as The Communicator's Commentary
Series. Includes sermon and teaching outlines. General editor Lloyd J.
Ogilvie brings together a team of skilled and exceptional communicators,
blending sound scholarship with life-related illustrations and useful outlines
for teaching and preaching.
The preface explains, "Many current commentaries
and Bible study guides provide only some aspects of a communicator’s needs. Some
offer in-depth scholarship but no application to daily life. Others are so
popular in approach that biblical roots are left unexplained. Few offer
impelling illustrations that open windows for the reader to see the exciting
application for today’s struggles. And most of all, seldom have the expositors
given the valuable outlines of passages so needed to help the preacher or
teacher in his or her busy life to prepare for communicating the Word to
congregations or classes. This Preacher’s
Commentary series brings all of these elements together."

Pastors and teachers find that his helpful comments and vivid illustrations

Dr. McGee provides book introductions, outlines,

well as its spiritual, religious, and redemptive truth. The simplicity of
McGee's approach and the scope of this series is unique in this generation.
Biblical truth comes alive through the relaxed sincerity of his comments and
anecdotes.
The Preface explains the flavor of the series as
follows: "These are popular messages, prepared originally for a radio audience.
They should not be considered a commentary on the entire Bible in any sense of
that term. These messages are devoid of any attempt to present a theological or
technical commentary on the Bible. Behind these messages is a great deal of
research and study in order to interpret the Bible from a popular rather than
from a scholarly (and too-often boring) viewpoint. We have definitely and
deliberately attempted 'to put the cookies on the bottom shelf so that the
kiddies could get them.'"

41 volumes covering 28 OT books (including Tobit/Judith) & the whole NT
This 41-volume series of detailed, translation commentaries provides valuable
exegetical, historical, cultural, and linguistic information on the original
texts of Scripture. The series has been instrumental in shedding light on the
Scriptures so that translators all over the world could complete the important
task of putting God's Word into the many languages spoken in the world today.
Over the years church leaders and Bible readers
have found the UBS Handbooks to be useful for their own study, since many of the
issues Bible translators must address when trying to communicate the Bible's
message to modern readers are the ones Bible students must address when
approaching the Bible text as a part of their own private study and devotions.
The introduction explains that these handbooks
are not traditional commentaries, but neither do they supplant commentaries,
"...we must emphasize the fact that the present volume is not designed to take
the place of commentaries, not even for the translator. Commentaries are
indispensable for any translator who is going to do justice to his work." The
Handbooks are intended to point out potential trouble spots in working with or
translating the Greek or Hebrew text and provide assistance in dealing with
those rough places.

The Wycliffe Bible Commentary is an entirely
new commentary on the whole Bible written and edited by a wide cross section of
American Protestant Christianity. Within the limits of its more than 1.25
million words, it attempts to treat the entire text of the Old and New
Testaments on a phrase by phrase basis. In addition, summaries of the major
sections of each biblical book generally appear in the text in connection with
the main headings in the outline. This commentary was acclaimed by Wilbur M.
Smith as easily the best of its kind originating in this country, taking full
advantage of the latest scholarly research.
Forty-eight of America's leading scholars from
more than fifteen denominational backgrounds have contributed to this
commentary. In the commentaries on the various books the writers present the
results of their own careful, personal Bible study. But also they have preserved
some of the best work of the older commentators and have utilized the insights
of contemporary scholarship. While they infuse the whole with a fresh spirit, at
the same time they manifest their unflinching belief in the divine inspiration
of Holy Scripture.
The basic aim of this volume is to determine the
meaning of the text of Scripture. It is therefore, strictly speaking, neither a
devotional nor a technical exegetical treatment. It seeks to present the
Biblical message in such a way that the serious Bible student will find
extensive help within its pages.
