Folks,

I get a good many questions about "which commentaries on scripture should I buy?" 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!
