When Commentaries Go On Sale

Resources Collection cover image

WTS Commentaries
Westminster Books is having a great sale on commentaries—the Tyndale Commentary series that spans both the Old Testament and the New. For the next few days you can buy single volumes at $12 each. (The list price is closer to $18.) If you buy 5 or more volumes the price drops to $10 each, which represents quite a bargain. These are reader-friendly commentaries ideal for layperson or pastor alike. I get excited about sales like these because I love great commentaries!

While I am not aware of any of these volumes being bad, there are quite a few that are especially good. Some time ago I compiled a list of the top-5 commentaries for each book of the Bible (though I still need to finish out the Minor Prophets). This top-5 was not based on my assessment but on a group of experts who have written commentaries on the commentaries. Here is a list of each of the Tyndale commentaries that is considered among the best on that book of the Bible.

Old Testament

New Testament

Happy shopping! And even better, happy reading!

The first time I encountered this phrase was while studying the Council of Chalcedon’s description of the two natures of Christ. Soon after,…

    Always Look for the Light

    For many years there was a little potted plant on our kitchen window sill, though I’ve long since forgotten the variety. Year after year that plant would put out a shoot and from the shoot would emerge a single flower. And I observed that no matter how I turned the pot, the flower would respond.…

    A La Carte (March 18)

    A La Carte: God is good and does good—even in our pain / Dear bride and groom / Sin won’t comfort you / Worthy of the gospel / From self-sufficiency to trusting God’s people / The gods fight for our devotion / and more.

    God Takes Us Into His Confidence

    Here is another Sunday devotional—a brief thought to orient your heart toward the Lord. God takes the initiative in establishing relationship by reaching out to helpless humanity. He reveals himself to the creatures he has made. But what does it mean for him to provide such revelation of himself? John Calvin began his Institutes by…
