I have some full Bible commentaries here, all aquaired used: The Matthew Henry Commemtary (my favorite), The New Jarome Biblical Commentary, and my aunt just bought me The Wycliffe Commentary. I, also, use my Lutheran Study Bible as a commentary. I do have a number of individual book commentaries and sermon collections that I refer to that are mostly Orthodox. Personally, I like the hard-bound commentaries better than online.

That is a great collection! I have referenced the Henry Commentary. I do prefer printed commentaries when I want to go through the entire commentary as I read a book, but I rarely do that. I did it for 1 & 2 Samuel a couple years ago and it was very helpful, using the "Story of God" commentary. Planning to do the same again with Romans using the commentary from the same series.

Great finds! I own a copy of the 'Westminster Guide to the Books of the Bible' by Ramsay. I like that it's written for lay people and that it briefly covers each of the books of the protestant canon. I admit that I also couple my reading with watching the pertinent 'BibleProject' video on KZitem covering any book I take on.

Thanks for sharing, that's one I hadn't heard of! It sounds interesting. Big thumbs up to watching the BibleProject videos - we're big fans of their work in the TSB household and I often watch and rewatch their videos as well. Fun fact: Mrs. TSB attended Blackhawk Church in Madison, WI years ago when Tim Mackie was a pastor there.

I've used pretty much only Matthew Henry. I tend to use the notes in my study Bibles and don't go to the commentaries very often. I should probably do that. I always struggle with: whose commentary can I trust to be in line with my theology? And should I not seek out ones that maybe don't, sometimes.

Finding something in line with my theology is a tough thing with a commentary. Not all of mine line up, but I do find the different perspectives interesting; it definitely gives food for thought. I do love Matthew Henry's commentary. I tend to use it and my Lutheran Study Bible (a.k.a., "the brick") the most.

I've found Henry's commentary helpful on several occasions! I use a mix of Study Bibles and commentaries, depending how deep I want to go and how much time I have. I try to reference a variety of resources across a broad spectrum of views, within limits. Mostly broadly Protestant/Academic/Jewish. So some I agree with more than others!

@@rachelkarslake7787 I have that problem, too. I think of myself as something of a "1950's-type mainline protestant"; which is nothing like mainline protestantism today, but not exactly evangelical, either.

@@scottmcmullen6782I've had a interest in that era of mainline Protestantism myself, it is indeed very different. I acquired the "old" Interpreters Bible commentary set earlier this year which came out of that era and I expect should be quite useful.

@@ThriftStoreBibles there were some interesting thinkers in that era; Karl Barth, Paul Tillich, the Niebuhr brothers, and others. Today they mostly seem to be about "posturing" about how "progressive" they are and articulating the right "buzzwords". The Interpreter's Bible series from that era would be quite good, IMHO. The Westminster Guide I mentioned is from later but still pretty good. It's from a reformed perspective although not stridently so.
