Quiver0f10 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'd like to purchase a Bible commentary to use with our Bible study and am looking for recomendations. We are a KJV only family if that matters. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I just checked my Rod and Staff catalog since you said you are a KJV family. I can't recommend them from personal use, but I'd trust pretty much anything R&S offers on the Bible. They have two commentaries in the 2008 catalog. One is called "Matthew Henry's Commentary" and it costs $25 (one volume), and the other is "Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary on the Whole Bible" and it is $47.90 (3 volumes). I hope this helps. Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 To help with the commentary suggestion, may I ask the reason for the KJV only? No bias, one way or another, but truly asking in order to help with a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaof2andtwins Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I only have one, and it is Matthew Henry's. I appreciate having it. Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thank you, I will look at the R&S catalog. We chose KJV because that is what the Lord has led us too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in New York Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Check him out at CBD. The prices for the 5 hardcover books are great. ~Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Well, the one I really like is this one. I like it because it's very straight forward and easy to understand. Also, it's the only commentary I could find that held a viewpoint on Philemon that I had heard and never heard anywhere else. I literally looked at every commentary at the bookstore one day, specifically in Philemon because I was so awed at the viewpoint I had recently heard - and it made so much sense. So when I came across this commentary and it had a very similar tone (and looking through the rest of it too, of course, I liked what I read), I bought it. But it is in very modern language, which is why I wondered about your reason for KJV. If you really like the wording of the KJV, this wouldn't be for you. But I'm not sure I've seen a commentary with KJV wording either, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
