The Ivp Women's Bible Commentary

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, orthodox and scholarly.
Review: This is a monumental achievement. It is grounded in classic, historical, orthodox Christian theology, but with a perspective that uncovers layers of cultural bias to reveal the unvarnished Biblical truth underneath.

There is an impressive list of international contributors from a variety of denominational perspectives. In addition to the excellent commentary, there are 77 supplemental articles that enhance understanding of Biblical concepts, people, and culture. The supplemental articles alone would be worth the price, but the IVP Women's Bible Commentary is a complete, scholarly Bible commentary. It is incredible that a resource this valuable is available for such an affordable price.

The IVP Women's Bible Commentary is the by far the best women's Bible commentary that has been published. I spent a great deal of time comparing the IVP Women's Bible Commentary to other women's commentaries, and the IVP Women's Bible Commentary more fully illuminates the true liberating message of the gospel. The IVP Women's Bible Commentary contains an abundance of research, including analysis of the original languages, historical context, and references to all related Biblical passages. This is exactly the sort of in-depth study required by people who take the Bible seriously as the authoritative Word of God.

While this might not adequately serve as a primary Bible commentary, it should be THE required supplementary commentary for all Christians, men and women, who desire to know and understand Holy Scripture.
