The Broadman Bible Commentary

12 volume set. Revised in 1973.

The Broadman Bible Commentary was written for everyone with a desire to dig deeper into God's Word. This includes scholars, preachers, teachers and Bible students. The editors of this work make this clear in their preface to the series.

The Broadman Bible Commentary presents current biblical study within the context of strong faith in the authority, adequacy, and reliability of the Bible as the Word of God. It seeks to offer help and guidance to the Christian who is willing to undertake Bible study as a serious, rewarding pursuit. The publisher thus has defined the scope and purpose of the commentary to produce a work suited to the Bible study needs of both ministers and laymen. The findings of biblical scholarship are presented so that readers without formal theological education can use them in their own Bible study. Footnotes and technical words are limited to essential information.
