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

Great if you travel a lot, October 5, 2000
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.

Outstanding Value, April 23, 2003
By A Customer
For the money, this set on CD-Rom is a gem. It is true that the commentaries range from excellent to poor, but for this price, the good to excellent ones would cost far more if you purchased the books individually. In my opinion, the best are 1-2 Samuel, Job, Psalms, Matthew and Acts. Also strong are Genesis, Exodus, Ezra-Nehemiah,Proverbs, some of the Minor Prophets and Revelation. Unfortunately, most of the remaining New Testament commentaries are weak to poor, and the Major Prophets are dominated by Old School Dispensationalists whose method of interpretation is too limited. Still, for the price (and you can buy this CD for around $$ at other internet sites), you are getting the good ones at a bargain and can consider the others as a bonus.
