Bible commentaries give the background and interpretation of Bible verses and passages.
Types of Bible commentaries
Evangelical - In this guide, evangelical commentaries assume the Bible is without error (inerrant)
Non-Evangelical- In this guide, non-evangelical commentaries assume that the Bible contains errors. We include them because they contain a wealth of information about the biblical text.
Bible commentaries for individual books that are listed first tend to be Basic or easier to read; commentaries listed last tend to be more Advanced.
