Customer Reviews

Simple and to the point.5
Yes, simple and to the point but you get lots of infomation without being overloaded. I spent 3 hours in a bible bookstore comparing different bible commentarys and chose this one. From what I could see only one other really gave it a run for the money. At the end of each book of the bible there are questions for reflection and sources for further study. Has 56 feature articles, 40 charts, and 19 maps throughout the book. For my personal use it seemed to be the best for me. Great book that is simple and straightforward.

A very useful tool!5
A tool is known by its usefulness. Although it is "concise" in size, its usefulness remains high. I recommend it very much.

Like Cliff Notes4
This commentary has just the right amount of information, in my opinion, for the average bible student. Not too little and not overload of information. It is not just a commentary of the books of the Bible, but of each chapter in each book. It is short and concise, like the Cliff notes I used in high school. This commentary does not take the place of reading the Bible, but it gives you a short summary of the chapter. It also gives you extra Scriptures to help your study go deeper than just the chapter you are reading. Very helpful, to me.
