My Commentary Recommendations

To complement my previous post on online commentary recommendations, and my very own commentary database (no longer updated, please visit http://www.bestcommentaries.com), I thought I would provide some recommendations of my own.

I am only planning to recommend commentaries that I have read myself, so don’t expect one for every book of the Bible, and neither am I just going to list every one I have read. I plan to update the recommendations in the future as I have a chance to do some more reading.
