Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary
The Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary exegesis the biblical passage with special attention to the role it plays within God’s grand story of redemption. This commentary attends to important theological themes not only within a given passage, but as they play out throughout the book and across the canon.
International Critical Commentary
The International Critical Commentary is a premiere technical commentary. Its work applies the full-range of exegetical tools: linguistic and textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological.
Word Biblical Commentary
Known for its unusual format, the Word Biblical Commentary separates its commentary into distinct sections: translation and text critical matters, a passage’s structure, form, and setting, verse-by-verse interpretation, and summary explanation. The WBC’s thorough interaction with the scholarship makes it a serious contributor to any library.
Tyndale Commentary
The Tyndale Old Testament and New Testament Commentaries provide a thoroughly yet reasonably concise commentary on each book of the Bible. Its brevity makes this evangelical commentary accessible and usable among both beginners and the advanced.

This conservative evangelical series presents passage-by-passage commentary with an eye to a book’s theological themes and structure. This commentary strikes the balance between being thorough yet not pedantic or tedious.
ESV Expository Commentary
The ESV Expository Commentary is designed for preachers and serious Bible students. Each section of the commentary provides a brief, yet in-depth, exegesis of the text alongside its basic structure, brief summary of its message, and examples of pastoral application.
NIV Application Commentary
What sets the NIV Application Commentary apart is its special attention to helping readers apply scripture to their contemporary setting. Each section of the commentary contains an accessible explanation of a passage’s original meaning followed by the work of “crossing the bridge” into its contemporary implications.
