Long recognised as an essential reference work, this book has been revised and improved for the Bible students of today.
For 50 years, the New Bible Commentary has served Bible readers worldwide. This twenty-first-century edition builds on the strengths of the previous three:
- A one-volume commentary on the whole Bible by an international team of contributors
- General articles on what the Bible is and how to read it
- An introduction to each Bible book
- Commentaries dividing each book into sections for ease of reference
Designed to meet the needs of today, the New Bible Commentary makes use of recent international scholarship: 80% of the articles are entirely new and the rest have been rewritten. New maps, diagrams, charts and tables illuminate the text and further reading lists are included with each article.

I doubt if there is any better value for money today than the New Bible Dictionary and the New Bible Commentary. As basic books for every thinking Christian's library they are indispensable.
This commentary is large, comprehensive and well written. It is definitely not one to be carried around but sat on the desk with a Bible and notebook it is a wonderful accompaniment to in-depth study. Would totally recommend!
This thorough and well written reference text has already been very useful for my Biible study and devotion, with thought-provoking and intelligent comment from renowned scholars. A must have resource for any Christian's bookshelf!
