Covering Daniel and the Minor Prophets, vol. 7 of the Expositor's Bible Commentary continues in the tradition of other EBC volumes with contributions by Gleason L. Archer Jr. (Daniel), Carl E. Armerding (Obadiah), Thomas E. McComiskey (Micah), Kenneth L. Barker (Zechariah) and more.

This book is part of my collection that really focuses in on Biblical Commentary more than anything else (including some well known authors in the theological world). All of these books haven't been read cover to cover, but I've spent a lot of time with them and they've been helpful in guiding me through difficult passages (or if I desire to dig deeper).

The award-winning Expositor's Bible Commentary, now available in this handy softcover edition, has established itself as one of the leading and most practical evangelical commentaries. Written for pastors and Bible students, it is scholarly and comprehensive without being overly academic. The seventy-eight contributors of The Expositor's Bible Commentary are committed to the complete trustworthiness and full authority of the Bible. They come from the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand, and represent many denominations, including Anglican, Baptist, Brethren, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, and Reformed. In matters where marked differences of opinion exist, the contributors state their own convictions and deal fairly and without animosity with opposing views. The Expositor's Bible Commentary is based on the New International Version of the Bible, but may be used with any translation. Greek and Hebrew words have been transliterated to make the material accessible to readers unfamiliar with the biblical languages. Technical questions and textual issues are briefly dealt with in notes at the end of each section.

The series aims to provide preachers, teachers and students of the Bible with new and comprehensive commentary on the books of the Old and New Testaments. Its seventy-eight contributors come from different countries and different traditions, most of them teach at colleges, universities or theological seminaries.

Scripture requires life-giving changes in every humand sphere, both personal and social. To worship with God's people in the church is not optional but imperative, and watching TV services is no substitute.

Tracing a though pattern. The present moral slippage began with the decline of faith and with the lack of self-restraint among many adults too preoccupied with their own pursuits to keep open their relationship with God and their communication with their children.

Good scholarship, hard to build a message on. Takes time to learn how to use properly.

This series of commentaries is best reviewed by quoting from the first paragraph in the preface. "The title of this work defines its purpose. Written primarily by expositors for expositors, it aims to provide preachers, teachers and students of the Bible with new and comprehensive commentary on the books of the Old and New Testaments. Its stance is that of a scholarly evangelicalism committed to the divine inspiration, complete trustworthiness and full authority of the Bible. Its seventy-eight contributors come from the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland and from various religious groups, including Anglican, Baptist, Brethren, Free, Independent, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian and Reformed churches. Most of them teach at colleges, universities or theological seminaries." Quite understandable by and useful for the layman.

The first commentary set in which a preacher should invest, the Expositor's Bible Commentary offers a good starting place for work on a passage. Also an excellent resource for lay leadership and those leading bible studies and small groups, passages are dealt with succinctly and with little overdeveloped comment. The trade off is that while major issues are noted and receive comment, the real depth of textual questions is often left somewhat unexplored. Occasionally the commentary can leave one wondering why more can't be said about a passage, but of course the limit of 12 volumes means that only introductory matters can be discussed.½

If you are on a budget and need a good set of commentaries, you probably can't do better than this. Granted, some entries are too brief, but on the whole this is a great set.
