Just to be clear, I'm not claiming to have read any of these in their entirety! But I have been using them off and on for about ten years, and they are an unmatched resource to have at hand.

Thorough, exacting, and precise.

Proofreading of all Greek and Hebrew words Modernization of abbreviations Original Arabic words transliterated into English Biblical references changed from Roman numerals into Arabic numerals A custom-designed font that is more readable than the original Standardized formatting for each volume (the original had different formats in each volume) Movement of the commentary on Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther from volume three to volume four (to make each volume a more consistent length) Rewriting of long paragraphs into shorter, more readable ones Continuous pagination in each volume, with a separate table of contents for each volume Now available with a searchable companion CD-ROM

I have used this commentary set a couple of times since I purchased it. Currently, I reference it for the study of the Judges that I am conducted with the kids and for study of The Song of Solomon/Proverbs that we do at night. I like it because the authors do a tremendous amount of work w/the Hebrew text also.

I have always wanted this set. I recently purchased it from a man in Texas.
This is a reference set on the Old Testament, I doubt that I will ever read the entire set.
However, it is a must for a Christian Library.
