Summary: The Best!
Review: EBC is hands down the best Bible Commentary on the market. EBC is written by conservative scholars (who actually believe the Bible).I've read a lot of Bible Commentaries, and NONE compare with this one. EBC goes verse by verse, and give you amazing exegetical insight that lets you see the passage much more illuminated than before. Not only do they give you their scholarly opinion, they are also kind enough to give you ALL the popular opposing view points of how other scholars interpret a given passage (even if they don't agree, they at least inform the reader of the other ways the verse has been interpreted). If you're a student of the Bible, this is the #1 resource I would recommend you getting. When you compare this to commentaries by J vernon mcgee or barclay (and a TON of others), you will laugh at how much useless babble they give you compared to the depth of insight given by the EBC writers. I've learned way more from the EBC commentary than all others commmentaries combined. My advice, get EBC first, they give you EXCELLENT info, and they give you what's most important exegeticly, hermenuticly, theologicly, and text-critical etc. etc. They cut to the chase, so to speak. If you still want more info on a certain book after reading EBC, hats off to you! You are a SERIOUS SEMINARY TYPE Bible student. But to buy some of these more expensive, more comprehensive commentaries before reading EBC would in my opinion be a foolish way to spend your money. Anything less than EBC is a waste, anything more than EBC is for the WAY SERIOUS Seminary type Bible student. EBC is exteremly readable, they explain the greek in very understanable terms. Cant say enough about the success of this Commentary Series!

Summary: Amazing resource for study
Review: The Expositor's Bible Commentary is an amazing resource for studying the Bible whether it is for private study or for sermon preparation. It uses the NIV translation of the Bible and is extremely readable. These books provide excellent background and are written from a conservative point of view. The commentary follows the text in a systematic manner and makes reference quick and easy. In my opinion, this is the best commentary set on the market and as a seminary student I have seen alot!
