Overview
The Anchor Yale Bible is a fresh approach to the world’s greatest classic—the Bible. This prestigious commentary series of more than 80 volumes represents the pinnacle of biblical scholarship, drawing from the wisdom and resources of Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish scholars from around the world. A book-by-book translation and exegesis of the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Apocrypha that includes more than 80 volumes, this vast commentary series makes available all the significant historical and linguistic knowledge which bears on the interpretation of the Bible.
These massive commentaries have set the standard for biblical scholarship for decades—marking the beginning of a new era—by making the Bible accessible to modern readers. The Anchor Yale Bible aims to arrive at the meaning of biblical literature through exact translation and extended exposition, and to reconstruct the ancient setting of the biblical story, as well as the circumstances of its transcription and the characteristics of its transcribers. These commentaries are written with the most exacting standards of scholarship, reflecting the highest technical accomplishment. They are vital for sermon preparation, research, and advanced study of the Bible.

Hello, I see a lot of 5-star reviews, however, I don't see where people are taking the time to describe with some detail why they've given the set 5 stars. I'm considering adding this set to my library but want to understand what sets this apart from someone who already owns it and uses it very frequently. It would be really nice to hear someone's insights to how this set can help me grow spiritually. Thank you!
