A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works [10th edition] by John F. Evans
Call Number: Z7770 .E92 2016ISBN: 9780310520962Publication Date: 2016A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works, by John F. Evans, summarizes and briefly analyzes all recent and many older commentaries on each book of the Bible, giving insightful comments on the approach of each commentary and its interpretive usefulness especially for evangelical interpreters of the Bible. A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works is essentially an annotated bibliography of hundreds of commentators. More scholarly books receive a longer, more detailed treatment than do lay commentaries, and highly recommended commentaries have their author's names in bold. The author keeps up on the publication of commentaries and intends to update this book every three to four years. [Note: The Library does not currently have e-book access to the current edition. You can buy it from Amazon, or view the 9th edition online for free.]Old Testament Commentary Survey by Tremper Longman III
