In addition, maps, charts, and diagrams help you grasp the meanings of the biblical text. Unlike most others this commentary is by authors from one school—Dallas Theological Seminary.

This has turned out to be just what I was looking for. I enjoy the commentaries and have made these volumes a vital part of my reference materials. It is easy to read and makes my Bible study time even more enjoyable. Where you find my Bible, you will also find these two volumes.

Reviewed by Howard Showell (Limerick, PA), January 04, 2010

Originally I was printing this information to my printer. A lot of paper was being used. Now I can read directly from the 2 volumes which is great. The short cut, if I may call it gives me more study time of the commentaries. Thank you for having the selection I was looking for.

I am very pleased with my recent purchase of The Bible Knowledge Commentary: Old & New Testament. It provides another viewpoint vs. my use of the NIV Application Bible. Fits in very nicely. Thanks, Phil

These reference books will be very useful. The Bible is hard to understand in some places but by using these books it will give me a better understanding about things that I am not sure about.

5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Laurence Woolfson (Hampton, VA), November 05, 2009

This set of commentaries is most useful when you want to compare what the Holy Spirit has revealed to you as opposed to Walvoord and Zuck's extensive knowledge and insight of His word. Very highly recommend this commentary.
