The Classic Bible Commentary is an essential collection of history's finest commentaries in one volume.

Charles Spurgeon's advice to aspiring preachers was to "read admirable commentaries." Indeed, it was Spurgeon who first drew up a definitive list of Bible commentaries that every preacher and teacher of God's Word should own.

Now classic works on all 66 books of the Bible—including most of the ones Spurgeon recommended—have been collected into this one exciting volume. Though the language has been edited where necessary for the modern reader, the teaching of these master preachers has been preserved, as well as the dignity of their original prose. From John Calvin on Genesis to Matthew Henry on Revelation, you will find the biblical insights of many of Christian history's leading figures within these pages—at a fraction of the cost of buying these commentaries individually. More than an aid to preachers, this is an essential resource for any serious Christian's library.

One of the advantages of having a one-volume Bible commentary by a variety of authors is that the contributors who have written exceptionally good commentaries on particular Bible books can be selected. For example, included are Martin Luther's commentary on Galatians, and J.B. Lightfoot's commentaries on Colossians and Philemon which remain in a class of their own.

The Classic Bible Commentary is based on either the King James Version or New Revised Standard Version Bible text but can be used with any translation in MyBible. Open two windows to view Bible text in one window and the comments of the Classic Bible Commentary in the other. You can also search this commentary for specific words and phrases just as you would any MyBible Bible.

View comments side-by-side with your favorite MyBible translation (sold separately).	Introductions are included for every Bible book.	Introductory articles are provided for major sections of the Bible (i.e. Pentateuch, Poetic books) and tables for important events (i.e. Parables of Christ, Miracles of Christ)
