“When I’m stumped . . . I go to Henry Alford.”
Dan Phillips, who blogs at Biblical Christianity and Pyromaniacs, emailed me about a month ago and asked me about making Henry Alford’s The Greek Testament: With a Critically Revised Text; a Digest of Various Readings; Marginal References to Verbal and Idiomatic Usage; Prolegomena; and a Critical and Exegetical Commentary available for Libronix. In that email [...]
The Merit of Faith: Genesis 15:6 in JPS
I just received the JPS Bible and Torah Commentary Collection (9 volumes) from Logos and started “thumbing” through a couple of the volumes. I’m glad I picked it up. It looks like a valuable series—primarily for what it reveals about modern Judaism’s understanding of the Tanakh. As I expected, though, I’m going to disagree with [...]
Garlington’s Galatians Commentaries
I previously posted about Don Garlington’s commentary on Galatians being available as a free PDF from the Paul Page. But I wasn’t sure exactly which Galatians commentary it was. So I emailed Dr. Garlington and got the official answer. As for Galatians, I appreciate that the situation is confusing. The thing has gone through an [...]
Köstenberger on NT Commentaries

He’s finally compiled a list, which will appear in a forthcoming book entitled, Invitation to Biblical Interpretation, which is part of the Invitation to Theological Interpretation series. The volume is a couple years away from publication, but he shares his list [...]
Don Garlington’s Commentary on Galatians—Free!
I just found out that Don Garlington‘s commentary on Galatians is available as a free PDF from the Paul Page. It appears to be his contribution to the forthcoming volume 11 of the revised EBC rather than his 2002 Galatians commentary or his revised 2004 commentary, since it has citations from sources in 2006. I’m [...]
Expositor’s Bible Commentary
CBD is running a great price on the old EBC. The whole set is only $119.99. That’s $10 per volume. Since it doesn’t look like it’s going to be available any time soon in Libronix (thanks Zondervan!), I may have to pick it up. Unfortunately, I just bought volume 10 for my dissertation. I guess [...]
Annotated Bibliography of Commentaries
A friend of mine, Samuel Bray, started an annotated bibliography of commentaries at the Wikia Scratchpad. If you’ve come across a good commentary recently, head on over and give a brief evaluation.
