Commentary And Reference Survey

First assembled as a “labor of love” in 1994, John Glynn’s survey of biblical and theological resources has won wide acclaim from professors, students, and pastors. This much-anticipated tenth edition lists and ranks approximately 900 commentaries and 1,600 other volumes related to biblical interpretation, theology, church history, and preaching. Commentaries are categorized by level and approach, while recommended titles are highlighted. Two new chapters on exegetical software round out this comprehensive guide.

Praise for the ninth edition:

“[A] marvelous bibliographic reference. For students, preachers, and teachers . . .  this survey answers the question, Where will I get the best book for my bucks?”
