4 Reasons Pastors & Bible Scholars Love the Anchor Yale Bible

The Anchor Yale Bible boasts 90 volumes and top ratings, but why else is it worth adding to your library? Here are four simple reasons . . .

It’s study step #1

In many circles the Anchor Yale Bible series is known as the go-to “Monday commentary,” since it’s the first reference many pastors reach for when they begin their early-week sermon preparation. More specialized study resources or other commentaries may follow, but this is your best initial step to building much-needed historical and linguistic foundations for a solid message. It all starts here.

It’s deep—and wide

The Anchor Yale Bible series isn’t just for pastors with sermons to prepare. For decades, serious scholars and researchers have depended on these commentaries to help them understand scriptural backgrounds. In the same way, this series will help you reconstruct the ancient settings of biblical narratives, with exact translation, verse-by-verse commentary, and extended exposition. Photos and illustrations finish clearing a path to what’s really behind a Scripture passage.

It sets the standard

This 88-volume collection has set the standard for decades, delivering some of the best resources from a cross-section of Protestant, Catholic, and even Jewish scholars from around the world. This is the commentary you turn to, Mondays and beyond. Because sometimes it takes a little extra digging—and these commentaries provide the shovel.
