Praise for the Print Edition
What a prodigious undertaking! Laymen and pastors have long needed a reference whose style was concise, clear, and easy to follow. This commentary is just that—full of good, basic, sound, fundamental explanations. As the Australians say, ‘good on you.’
—Floyd Jones, author, Which Version Is the Bible?
I am very pleased with Dr. Sorenson’s major new work Understanding the Bible. It will be a tremendous contribution for Bible-believing churches.
—Ron Comfort, chancellor, Ambassador Baptist College
This is excellent and greatly needed in our current theological and moral climate. . . . I have nothing but good to say about this endeavor.
—Clarke Poorman, pastor emeritus, Woodcrest Baptist Church

I have a copy of this set in PDF form, and would love to have it integrated into logos. The author is respectful in his use of the King James, judicious in his references to Greek and Hebrew, and often has helpful/ clarifying thoughts on difficult passages. It is written from a conservative Independent Baptist perspective, and it is great to have a complete commentary along those lines. I wish there was an option to add pre-order items to a wish list, for this set would be on it, but I'm not willing to potentially tie up money on a pre-order, especially since I expect the price will eventually be lower than this.

I was the Pastor of a church that had the hard copy set in the church library. I found this commentary to be very good, easy to read, and sound doctrinally. David Sorenson did an outstanding job with this commentary. Whether you are a Baptist or not, you would benefit from his insights. I highly recommend this set. I preordered it and am looking forward to having it in my Logos program. Pastor John Owen
