Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding Value
Review: For the money, this set on CD-Rom is a gem. It is true that the commentaries range from excellent to poor, but for this price, the good to excellent ones would cost far more if you purchased the books individually. In my opinion, the best are 1-2 Samuel, Job, Psalms, Matthew and Acts. Also strong are Genesis, Exodus, Ezra-Nehemiah,Proverbs, some of the Minor Prophets and Revelation. Unfortunately, most of the remaining New Testament commentaries are weak to poor, and the Major Prophets are dominated by Old School Dispensationalists whose method of interpretation is too limited. Still, for the price (and you can buy this CD for around $$ at other internet sites), you are getting the good ones at a bargain and can consider the others as a bonus.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great if you travel a lot
Review: It is of course nice to have the best commentaries from a commentary series like the Expositors Bible Commentary in your library. However, if you travel like I do, having it on CD is great.

DA Carson on Matthew is excellent and Johnson on Revelation is a real gem.

It still represents good value for money to have the lot on CD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Helpful, reasonably comprehensive Bible reference
Review: One of the best features of this CD ROM is its price, compared with the book format. I disagree with other reviewers: if you can get a copy at a reasonable price, it is well worth owning the CD ROM.

There are some terrific commentaries in the set, and here I agree with other reviewers: VanGemeren on Psalms, Carson on Matthew. I have found Liefeld helpful on Luke most of the time.

There is some "dodgy" diSpENSATIONALism here and there, but the set also contains many fine commentaries.
