Overview
How can the task of biblical exegesis be fruitful and meaningful when commentaries and lexicons provide contradictory interpretations and seem to support opposing translations? The 31-volume Exegetical Summaries Series asks important exegetical and interpretive questions, while summarizing and organizing the content from every major Bible commentary and dozens of lexicons. With this collection you can instantly identify exegetical challenges, discover a text’s interpretive history, and survey the scope of everything written about each verse and phrase. Since no single commentary provides all the answers needed for translation, exegesis, and interpretation, the Exegetical Summaries Series serves as a valuable supplement, and study tool. This expansive collection gives you the tools you need to swiftly compare commentaries and lexicons, identifying instances of both scholarly consensus and disagreement.

Like the name says, it gives you an exegetical summary of the passage. It summarizes many of the best sources, telling you how the various translations word it, giving you a brief explanation of what many of the best commentaries say about it, etc. It also asks questions about the meaning of the passage, and provides the major viewpoints. It's an excellent tool for getting a concise overview of what many of the best sources say. I wish they would finish the Old Testament. Also, I've had some issues with the linking system on Logos. I own BDAG, but the linking system is to the older BAGD. I wish they would make this compatible with BDAG.
I would echo the sentiment of others that it is a very useful resource... but I would add that it could be so much better than it is. I have only had it for about a day, and I have only used it on my study in Ephesians. I have not seen my primary resources of BECNT, ZECNT, Hoehner, or BDAG appear, yet. Instead, I have seen Hodge, Bruce(1957), Westcott, Ellicott, and BAGD (no longer Logos- I think).
One thing of interest is that it is not only a useful resource, but also (I believe) a successful marketing tool. You very quickly become aware of other resources that you would like to own, and will likely purchase. Further, I would suggest
there may be an opportunity for a publisher to find a home for advertising dollars. There is a lot of room for someone to copy the idea and do a much better job. I look forward to the evolution of this and future resources like it.
In Bible study and sermon preparation, as in many other fields, "Where no counsel is, the people fall: But in the multitude of counsellers there is safety" (Prov 11.14, AV). This is why my first port of call for Bible study outside prayerful rereading and language study is the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture. But if the passage is in the NT, my next stop is often the Exegetical Summaries series. It is perhaps the single most useful means to find out as quickly and easily as possible how an impressive range of modern commentators have expounded a given Bible passage. Very highly recommended.
Maybe we should call it exegetical summary of the New Testament (with Malachi and Joel). Just kidding. But it's one of my favorite resource. Very helpful, especially when I am struggling with individual commentaries and harder to understand controversies.
