Until quite recently, finding a Protestant Bible commentary that included the Apocrypha was quite difficult. In the last few decades, the supply has exploded, but they're all, well, modern. That makes it quite interesting to fund an early Twentieth Century edition with material on the apocryphal/deuterocanonical books.
And quite a thick one, too; although one-volume commentaries naturally can't cover everything in depth, there is a lot here.
It should be noted that this book takes a very Anglican, high-church slant on things (after all, the Anglicans have always been a little more open to the deuterocanonical books). This may not be welcome to some. Also, by the standards of its time, it was relatively liberal in its scholarship. That too may be a little unwelcome. But the point is, this book probably isn't like any other commentary on your shelf.
Would I recommend this as your only Bible commentary? Probably not; you should have something newer, and something which fits your denomination. But this is likely to be a good balance to whatever it is that you find.… (altro)
