Dr. J. Vernon McGee
Thomas Nelson
Dr. J. Vernon McGee is best known for his ”Thru the Bible” radio programs, which are broadcast around the world in more than 40 languages. He served as pastor for over 40 years and was also a teacher, lecturer, and author, producing over 200 books and booklets.
A complete edition of the Thru the Bible commentary series, this five-volume set is an excellent choice for students and teachers of the Bible. It includes Dr. McGee's insightful study of each book of the Bible with in-depth, paragraph-by-paragraph discussions of key verses and passages.
This commentary will assist your personal walk and ministry of God’s Word. Dr. McGee presents remarkable insights in a very easy-to-read, practical style. He includes word studies, genealogy, geography, and historical significance, yet he is never dry. McGee is practical, simple and insightful. As Dr. McGee himself said, he liked to “put the cookies on the lower shelf” so that everyone could access the riches of the Bible. Dr. McGee's seeks to meet the needs of lay Bible readers as well as clergy, and he deliberately avoids "the straightjacket of printed prose and lofty verbiage." His plain writing and lively approach make biblical truth understandable and Bible study more enjoyable.
An introductory section presents guidelines for Bible study, and a detailed outline prefaces the discussion of each book. Each chapter is examined through a careful, paragraph-by-paragraph discussion of all significant verses. Convinced that solutions to all of our problems--whether on the individual or international level--can be found in the Bible, Dr. McGee focuses on its everyday practical wisdom as well as its redemptive truth.

Just A Man
(9/11/2024)
Reviewed by (Stu Kopelman, Orlando, FL, United States) - Commentaries are an excellent source for gaining wisdom and comprehending more fully the Scriptures. "Through the Bible" by Vernon McGee not only provides that source, but he does it in a way that is not self-flattering, or pridefully intellectual---yet, it is brilliantly accurate. He is just a man giving a lot of thought and research about God's Word with some semblance of modesty---not theoretical wordiness. It has absolutely deepened my love for Christ and helped me navigate some hard-to-appreciate verses and themes in the Bible.

Reviewed by (Danny Draper, Little Rock, AR, United States) - I have used e-Sword for many years now and have never been disappointed with service, support, or the products.
I have the printed version of J Vernon McGee but for me, the computer version is just so much more convent. I have all my research materials on the HD version of e-Sword so even when I travel, I have my study materials with me.
I used another Bible study program for a long time until they sold out to probably the biggest Bible publisher in the United States. However, this large publisher's software is so expensive that the average preacher, teacher or student cannot afford the hundreds or even thousands of dollars for the packages they provide.
I've been in ministry for over fifty-five years and comparing cost, ease of access, I only recommend E-Study to folks that ask me what I think is the best software. Rick and crew have done a great job. Keep us the good work and God Bless!

Reviewed by (Robert Searle, Garland, TX, United States) - I have long admired McGee's work. I was excited to see it was available for E-Sword.

Reviewed by (Deborah Davis, SAINT LOUIS, mo, United States) - I teach an Adult Class in Sunday school. I already had e-sword and was most pleased. But I did not have Thru the Bible with Dr. McGee on e-sword. So I purchased my Thru the Bible on flash drive and loved it. What was the problem? Yes, I am old-school with the ability to still take shorthand at 90 wpm. But I continued to feel I would sometimes miss the meaning and understanding of Dr. McGee's message. To be able to read it, as well as hear it, puts an entirely new perspective on the Bible. I enthusiastically give this product an excellent rating.

Of Course J. Vernon
(1/21/2022)
Reviewed by (Richard Ash, Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, United States) - J. Vernon is the quintessential Southern Preacher. He preaches, and teaches, the Bible as it is, THE WORD OF GOD. I like that throughout his notes, he brings in the views of a lot of theologians, who both agree and disagree with him. His knowledge of Greek, and Hebrew, allow us to understand the exact text, and the context of how it was said, and or written. His little stories are sufferable, and poignant, i.e. he tells a good story. His knowledge of the Old Testament is crucial to us understanding the New Testament. If you do not have his study materials to help you understand the Bible, you may be stunting your growth as a Christian.

I recommend this series to anyone who wants to grow in their devotion time. I'll add this note that McGee is a dispensationalist, so there will be some things that are presented from that perspective. But, this doesn't diminish his insights. I only mention this to say there are a lot of great things to learn, even if you may see things from a non-dispensational perspective.

I have known this series for several decades and it has some especial memories for me - in particular getting lost while driving a car and ending up stopped by the crowds in a definitively agressive area of a city in the USA and having VMgee commentary for Romans 3:20ff on the Radio. I just sat there with the windows and doors locked listening with peace while people literally walked all over the car until they got fed-up and let me carry on driving away.

Once I found that I noticed that EVERYTHING from my physical copy of McGee's book on Isaiah is in face included in this program. I apologize for my earlier review. This has been a lesson for me on doing complete research of a product before getting discouraged and fearing the worse.

34 year journey with Dr. McGee
(8/7/2016)
Reviewed by (Scott Colletti, Ukiah, California, US) -
Enjoying J Vernon McGee's "Through the Bible" for over a year now, as a fully integrated commentary to the Bible translations I use in Esword. More than three decades later the spirit of truth reminds me of the beginning of my walk and the over the air radio broadcasts of Dr. McGee as I went along on my first five-year Bible bus trip via both FM and AM radio. His genius is putting the cookies on the lowest shelf reachable by anyone. But, as I have gotten to know my God and Savior, a picture of this post man, this reporter, this farmer spreading the seeds of the gospel has also come into view.
The fruit which Dr. McGee saw only as listeners responded and readers wrote prepared me for practical expectations in my ministry. Gauging the execution of my calling through the real lives of believers, the ever present Holy Spirit, and the wisdom imbued into the word of God. The trials of his illnesses, ministry and radio ministry, in the context of the Southern California culture deliver a commentary whose southern drawl gives weight as counterpoint to one of my other teachers, John MacArthur. MaGee believes that the word of God has no error in it, and mostly delivers succinct narrative seasoned with cautions of cults and errors.
A good example of that is his commentary that differentiates preparing to withstand evil days versus escaping the wrath of God during the great tribulation. His commentary coupled with biblical cross-references, the study of cults and doctrines of demons, and my other teachers comments are, God willing, preparing me to deliver the truth about who God is and who we are.
Very good!

Reviewed by (Earl Melton, Levelland, TX, US) - I loved Dr. McGee's recorded daily sermons and teachings on God's Word on KFYO radio in Lubbock, Texas, for years after he had been glorified and joined Jesus in heaven. I cannot recall ever hearing anything from his lips with which I didn't agree wholeheartedly. The boisterous "Amen!"s could easily be heard in the next room quite often. Now I have them in print to enjoy for whatever time God gives me before I join them both for all time. Many thanks to Bro. Meyers for his work and his willingness to share it through e-Sword!

Pleased You Offer Dr. J. Vernon McGee's Works
(8/7/2016)
Reviewed by (Rick L Newman, Baker City, Oregon, US) - I'm pleased you offer Dr. J Vernon McGee's commentary, notes and outlines. I have studied the Bible passionately for forty two years. I have been to Bible College and taken numerous courses in Hermeneutics. I study Greek and Hebrew language and cultures. Dr. McGee has been a guide the whole time. He consistently promotes the uniqueness of Christ and inspires heart felt devotion for the Savior. Dr. McGee is a true old school theologian. Not many evangelicals in the pulpit have Doctorates in Theology these days. His expository commentary is authoritative, holistic, hermeneutically sound and sophisticated. Yet he deliberately avoids lofty explanations and often goes against the grain of popular Christian thinking not as a critic but with a passion to accurately represent the often misunderstood Savior to the unbelieving. He also mixes in life experience illustrations with humor, and memorable images that are poetically entertaining and enlightening regardless of the reader's stage of biblical education. Finally, without fail every lesson is supported by countless cross references that allow the Bible to be it's own best commentary. This is my favorite feature of his method. It promotes a sense of wonder and respect for the Scriptures.
I just gota say again, I'm a devoted student of the dear, late Dr. J. Vernon McGee. The digital version you offer uses prevailing, well established technology. It's universal, easy to use and absolutely flawless. Yet it still makes use of the original fonts and formats. So for old fans like me the digital download passes on the sense of warmth and familiarity that I had with the paper.
Thanks very much,
Rick L Newman

J. Vernon McGee
(7/3/2015)
Reviewed by (Catherine Cooney, Virginia Beach, VA, US) - As a Precept leader, the Bible is the only source we use. But every once in a while, there's a verse that leaves me flummoxed. As a new Christian, I listened to J. Vernon McGee on the radio. Commentaries are nothing but someone's opinion and anybody can write one. I remember once when 2 students, one of whom had obviously read a commentary, made declarations: one that the rider on the white horse in Rev 6:2 is Jesus, the other that he is the AntiChrist. J. Vernon's commentary is saturated in a combination of the Holy Spirit, wisdom, understanding, years of study, and humor. I can hear him speaking as I read. He's my favorite go-to man.

Awesome concept, just needs some tweaking
(7/7/2014)
Reviewed by (Reid Ballard, Newtown, PA, US) - After carrying around each volume in the five volume set, this is a welcome edition to my electronic library. While saving on all of that heavy lifting, the only downside is the integration with e-sword itself. You can flip page by page through the commentary, but you can't navigate through the books or verses without first changing the book and verse in the Bible tab of e-sword first and then coming back to the commentary. For the most part I will concede that when you are reading the commentary you start at a verse and flip forward; but frequently I find myself going down rabbit trails that take me temporarily from the book and verse that I am in to another portion of scripture and it would be helpful if there was a browse feature built into the commentary like there is in any book.
The up side is that now I can give away my five volume set and free up much needed shelf space in my library!

Some commentaries are like Cracker Jacks. You go through 90 percent and it's just carmel popcorn, but 1 out of every 10 bites you get a peanut too, and that bite is great. J Vernon McGee is much better than that. 7 out of 10.
I think if I did not have some other commentaries, like "The Preacher's Commentary," I would have thought this guy totatlly hit it out of the park. So many commentaries are dry and state the obvious, and in some parts this commentary is like that, but in many parts he does give great anecdotes and insights. Perhaps if I wasn't so spoiled with so many great resources, I'd give him a better review.

Heaven is hell if you cannot speak the language
(7/16/2013)
Reviewed by (Larry Rowe, White Bear Lake, Mn, US) - In 1907 Mark Twain wrote the short story "Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven". The story idea is heaven is hell if your cannot speak the language. So what is the language? I go to E-sword.
I use E-sword daily as a dictionary, a word look-up to understand the Hebrew and Greek etymology, ideas, and concepts behind key biblical words. Text is constructed from paragraphs, constructed of sentences, formed around key words used by the author, in the cultural times of the author. Webster is not the language of heaven.
Doing word lookup in "Bible", then "Commentary on relevant OT and NT passages, and "Dictionary" one learns the authentic language of heaven that makes sense of the biblical passages.

His work is easy to understand and has many personal applications and is Biblically sound. He goes Thru The Whole Bible so it is a complete work. I love the new E-Sword for iPad because as you read through a passage it links verse by verse with Dr McGee's commentary. Dr McGee has excellent notes and outlines on the entire Bible. I have found over time that Dr McGee's work is one I always goto to study God's Word and the E-Sword app just makes it easier and quicker. It is also much lighter then the original 5 volume set. Our original 5 volume set is dog eared and worn from much use.
I have purchased his work in other electronic formats and the new E-Sword app is by far the easiest and best laid out of any. I cannot think of any other work that is as complete and easy to use and understand. An easy 5 Star rating.

I am, however, disappointed as the commentary is shallow and condescending. I will continue to use it. All commentaries should be judged in their use by the very scriptures they comment on.
