Looking for yellow cover (old style) for a gift for someone who needed this to finish their commentary set. Received and got exactly what we wanted. Thanks!

This is a great generally conservative commentary series. Even though it is fairly old (original copyright is 1981), I find it extremely useful in order to get a quick overview of the major issues found within the text.

Volume 12, a lot of commentary in one book, haven't read all of it yet, more of a reference for Bible lessons. Morris, Burdick, Blum, Barker and Johnson are a great combination of writers. Great price, quick delivery, well packaged. Completely satisfied!

The book came in a reasonable time frame and was in excellent shape outside of what it was advertised (good but better). Very happy with the price and quality.

"I strongly recommend that you add the volumes of The Expositor's Bible Commentary to your library. These volumes will strengthen your understanding of God's Word. The writers show reverence for the Word as well as respect for sane scholarship. You can use these books without getting bogged down in a lot of textual problems or detoured by trivial details. No matter what translation you use, this set will help you understand the text better and prepare a better message." -- Warren Wiersbe

That being said, I would recommend it as one of the "tools" in your "belt" of God's truth.

Let me start by saying that I have owned the full 12-volume set for about a year and use it quite frequently as a resource. I've used this particular volume as a reference, but have not taught through a book using this commentary yet. However, as there seem to be no competent reviews on the set as a whole, I did want to add my impressions of this terrific resource.

I can say that I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the 12 volumes in this set. Every portion has been quite helpful, and this is an amazingly simple and inexpensive way to assemble a good library of commentaries on the entire Bible. Obviously the commentaries are not as thorough as one may find in other series, such as the excellent (although not yet quite complete) "New International Commentary on the New Testament" or a similar series. However, for most Christians who teach or lead small groups in their churches, this set can serve as a great resource to get started with, and one that can easily be supplimented with specific volumes that treat a book of the Bible in greater depth as those books are needed. Additionally, this resource can be more useful than a larger volume in situations where one is interested in looking at a few chapters of scripture at a time, or where one just needs to understand what a verse or two might mean. Thanks to the very clear and practical verse by verse organization, it's a terrific tool to do just that.

Also, I will add that (at the time of this writing) it should be possible to buy the entire set for around $150 or less, so I would suggest shopping a bit if you plan to purchase all 12 volumes.

Strongly recommended.

All of the books in this series have served me faithfully for the past 12 years. They offer an excellent overview commentary of all of scripture. I usually suppliment this commentary with a deeper dive from other authors, but this is always my starting point.
