Very helpful. Based on your review, I decided to purchase the IVP. I'd have been disappointed with the Baker Commentary!

Thru the Bible I love how it is told like a story

These two along with ZIBBC OT/NT supplement each other very well. The Bible Knowledge Background commentaries NT are also good 👍 Most Commentaries give you background information, but the illustrated ones do great with the images.

Incisive review, Sir. Very helpful and fair, too. Thank you!

Thank you very helpful 🙌🏾🙌🏾 -I will be purchasing the Baker introductory is more my speed

My pleasure! Glad you found something that will help. Thanks for the comment.

Extremely helpful review of two very helpful books. Thanks for your analysis. I am going to look for your review of the old testament volume if you did one.

Thank you, Brother 🌹🌹🌹

Hi Brenda, my pleasure!

I'm a big fan of the Believers Bible Commentary by Thomas Nelson. I love how extensive the commentary is in the New Testament, as well as the format and the articles that are layered throughout. Also, it being conservative, evangelical and Premillennial in its Eschatology is a plus for me. 👍👍

I agree. I have nearly all the “whole-Bible” commentaries he reviews on this channel but I was really surprised not to see him reference the Believers Bible Commentary on his “best of” videos. It’s my favorite on a shelf full of other options.

Agreed, its absolutely one of the best whole bible commentaries

Keener is the best.

Jamison Faucet Brown commentary

would you say any of these 2 are better than the Zondervan "illustrated bible background commentary"? I'm trying to get the best one

is the basic info in Keeners' 1st edition still stand as dependable or did the second edition completely change update the material?

There are several places Craig (IVP) does not give the full information or even incorrect information, I feel. For Ex - in 2 Tim 3:16 he says - "The most common recensions of the Septuagint also "appear" to have included what we usually call the Apocrypha; although neither the rabbis nor Josephus seems to have accepted this material as part of the Bible per se." There was never a closed cannon for Jews. For ex - Sadducees held only the first 5 books as inspired, Greek Jews had the Septuagint, Essenes had more books than the Septuagint. - How can he say that rabbis only used the Protocanonical version? From what we know is that the translation what the Apostles and early Christians used was the Greek Septuagint, this is undeniable. 90% of the NT quotes are from this translation. - He fails to mention that Apostles and early Christians used the Septuagint.

Which is more detail & deep on background? & What are other list of 2 vol. Bible Commentaries?

Hi Yvonne, here is the page where I list whole bible commentaries: www.bestbiblecommentaries.com/top-one-volume-bible-commentaries/ To answer your questions, other than the IVP set, I rank The Bible Knowledge Commentary set and the Expositor's Bible Commentary (abridged) set very high. There other good options, too. You can find more information on the linked page. Thanks.

I want to learn more by reading on your bible commentaries How can I, please help me.thank you.

Hi, if I understand your question correctly, I think you are asking where you can get bible commentaries. Most people buy them at bookstores or from online retailers. Some libraries have bible reference books that can be checked out, and many churches have lending libraries as well. There are also free commentaries that can be read online, but those are often older. (Much of my website and KZread channel is devoted to newer resources.) If your questions is about where to read more about bible commentaries, I invite you to visit my website: www.bestbiblecommenaties.com. Thank you.

Since Craig Keener and J. Walton are the Authors of the IVP Bible Background and the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible as well, does that mean that if I already have the IVP Bible Background Commentary I already have all of the study notes that are in the Cultural Backgrounds SB ??

I compared the notes he showed in the video with the study Bible and found that while there was some overlap but the notes were mostly different. Obviously this is only based on the pages of John he showed but again the study Bible notes were quite different from those shown in the book shown in the video.

I would also point out that these volumes were released originally in the 90s (NT now in a second edition) with InterVarsity Press while the study Bible was released in 2017 under Zondervan. Two different decades with two different publishers would support the finding that there is some occasional similar comments but the notes are different for the most part.

@@SaneNoMore Hi, I bought both resources, and youre mostly right..... The OT notes although not as lenghty seem to be better in the SB mostly because the SB is 16 years newer than the IVP OT edition. The NT notes in the Study Bible are just a bit more updated than the IVP NT B. Commentary 2nd Edition (just 2 years apart) but the notes in the IVP NT 2nd Edition Commentary are fuller and lenghtier than in the SB. ---so definetely the IVP NT 2nd Edition is a Must. 😊

John MacArthur Commentary

You should have been more practical. Pick a chapter/verse and show your viewers how each book deals with the same material.
