2.0 out of 5 stars Indiv commentaries range from poor to excellent., October 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Expositor's Bible Commentary for Windows, The (CD-ROM)

The CD-ROM version's usefulness is severely limited in that it contains NO bibliographic info on any of the individual commentaries. In other words, it must be used in conjunction with the books. The search tools are nice. Contains some excellent commentaries. Among the best are OT: Sailhamer on Genesis, Kaiser on Exodus, van Gemeren on Psalms, Archer on Daniel is not bad. NT: Carson on Matthew, Longenecker on Acts, Harris on 2 Corinthians. Also contains some stinkers: Thomas on Thessalonians. BOTTOM LINE: Save the price of the CD and by the best commentaries in their individual paperback volumes.

It is of course nice to have the best commentaries from a commentary series like the Expositors Bible Commentary in your library. However, if you travel like I do, having it on CD is great.

DA Carson on Matthew is excellent and Johnson on Revelation is a real gem.

It still represents good value for money to have the lot on CD.

One of the best features of this CD ROM is its price, compared with the book format. I disagree with other reviewers: if you can get a copy at a reasonable price, it is well worth owning the CD ROM.

There are some terrific commentaries in the set, and here I agree with other reviewers: VanGemeren on Psalms, Carson on Matthew. I have found Liefeld helpful on Luke most of the time.

There is some "dodgy" diSpENSATIONALism here and there, but the set also contains many fine commentaries.
