"Primarily literary approach to exegesis of the OT, with emphasis on the theological message of the text. The NSRV is the main English translation to with the commentators make reference."

Focuses “on the final form of the text and on its significant literary and theological features.”

Ecumenical, scholarly. Good connection between commentary and reflection. Also has general articles. Shelved as series in Circulating and Reference Collections
Also available electronically

An accessible new commentary series on the cutting edge, incorporating art, CD-ROM, etc. with a particular interest in biblical theology.

Designed for "general reader." Mostly in historical-critical tradition. Uneven.

An excellent comprehensive commentary. Its companion volume, the HarperCollins Bible Dictionary is keyed to it.

Cambridge is re-doing their old CBC series from the 60’s and 70’s. The series assumes no prior knowledge of Hebrew, Greek, or theology. This new edition seeks to specialize in rhetorical, social-scientific, and narrative criticisms.

Scholarly series written by top evangelical scholars.

Genesis 1-11, Ezekiel, and Daniel available.

The goal of Sacra Pagina is to provide sound, critical analysis without any loss of sensitivity to religious meaning. This series is therefore catholic in two senses of the word: inclusive in its methods and perspectives, and shaped by the context of the Catholic tradition.

Thorough, technical, conservative point of view.
