So let me recommend a couple here: 1) I would start assembling an entire set of commentaries. You can buy these commentaries as an entire set which is great if you have a couple $300. However, you can buy these sets 1 book at a time also. I will list 3 here that I would highly recommend. a. Tyndale Commentaries on the O.T. & N.T. http://www.amazon.com/Tyndale-Testament-Commentaries-Boxed-Books/dp/0877842809/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220627580&sr=8-2 and http://www.amazon.com/Tyndale-New-Testament-Commentaries-Set/dp/0830829792/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b b. The Bible Speaks Today http://www.amazon.com/Bible-Speaks-Today-New-Testament/dp/0830881832/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220627677&sr=1-2 or http://www.amazon.com/Testament-CD-Rom-Bible-Speaks-Today/dp/1844742415/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220627677&sr=1-3 and http://www.amazon.com/Bible-Speaks-Today-Old-Testament/dp/0830824405/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220627754&sr=1-3 c. The New International Commentary on the N.T. & O.T. (otherwise known as NICNT & NICOT --now these series are more technical with a lot of Greek and Hebrew mixed in...they are a great tool but a bit more difficult to grasp. http://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Matthew-International-Commentary-Testament/dp/080282501X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220627925&sr=1-2 and http://www.amazon.com/Book-Genesis-International-Commentary-Testament/dp/0802825214/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220627945&sr=1-1 Finally, there are some websites and commentary surveys that you can reference for advice on which commentary to purchase for which book--here are 2 examples: 1) http://www.amazon.com/Commentary-Reference-Survey-Comprehensive-Theological/dp/0825427371/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220628024&sr=1-1 2) http://bestcommentaries.com/ Let me know if you have any questions & start studying the Bible! _________________ Pastor Tyler Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Vintage21 Church Forum Index -> Sermons All times are GMT + 5 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum News----------------WEEKLY UPDATE General----------------2008 - A Year of HealthPastorsSermonsQuestionsPrayer RequestsBook SuggestionsClassifieds Ministries----------------Preaching, Theology & VisionCentral OperationsCampus DevelopmentChurch Planting  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
