Good for help with basic understanding and some definitions. Definitely didn’t agree with all of his “interpretations.” It’s good for a seminary-student-level of inquiry. I would recommend Skinner or Welch for deeper scholarship.

I love reading the Scriptures with the commentary from David J. Ridges books. His added historical background, use of other scriptures for comparison, his inclusion of many quotes from prophets and apostles etc. really help me see the bigger picture and better understand what the Lord is teaching.
