Wrong book delivered

I ordered the Expositors Bible commentary but I received a book called “They Speak With Other Tongues”. I am very disappointed because I’ve been waiting all week to receive my book to study before Sunday.

Review of set, not specific volume

Let me start by saying that I have owned the full 12-volume set for about a year and use it quite frequently as a resource. To be fair, I have yet to use this particular volume. However, as there seem to be no competent reviews on the set as a whole, I did want to add my impressions of this terrific resource. I can say that I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the 12 volumes in this set. Every portion has been quite helpful, and this is an amazingly simple and inexpensive way to assemble a good library of commentaries on the entire Bible. Obviously the commentaries are not as thorough as one may find in other series, such as the excellent (although not yet quite complete) "New International Commentary on the New Testament" or a similar series. However, for most Christians who teach or lead small groups in their churches, this set can serve as a great resource to get started with, and one that can easily be supplimented with specific volumes that treat a book of the Bible in greater depth as those books are needed. Additionally, this resource can be more useful than a larger volume in situations where one is interested in looking at a few chapters of scripture at a time, or where one just needs to understand what a verse or two might mean. Thanks to the very clear and practical verse by verse organization, it's a terrific tool to do just that. Also, I will add that (at the time of this writing) it should be possible to buy the entire set for around $150 or less, so I would suggest shopping a bit if you plan to purchase all 12 volumes. Strongly recommended.

student reviews

This is the first time I have used a text book with the NIV translation as the base. This book has been a good text book and very well researched. Do recommend this book to anyone needing to further their studies in this subject matter.

my commentary on the commentary

I needed this book fast for class. I'm a seminary student. I got it quick and didn't miss a quiz (if you know what I mean!)I am a loyal customer. Stever
