5.0 out of 5 stars Most thorough single-volume Bible commentary available. 10 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I have older The Jerome Biblical Commentary. It is the most scholarly and detailed single-volume Bible commentary I have (and I have lots). It is a bit difficult to read because of all the notes and references; and it seems to be written for scholars so it doesn't "dumb down" anything. Written by Roman Catholics but valuable for everyone (even United Methodists like me).

Very thorough, very detailed, verse by verse commentary, but a tough read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything in one volume, WOW!!! 14 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I have several commentaries and this is the most complete for a one volume edition. Worth twice the weight of others in this class. Written exclusively by Catholics but fair and objective in presenting latest developments in biblical scholarship-perhaps to a fault. Easy to use once aquainted with it. May be a tough read but, worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource for theologians. 6 May 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
The New Jerome Biblical Commentary: Student Edition has been a wonderful resource, that I have been able to use for my undergraduate theology essays and has also been a great aid for me when I have prepared sermons for the college Prayer Group. It is the second book that I use after the bible!! It is clear and easy to follow and a amazing resource edited by three top theologians.
