Sometimes, it is so hard to go on reading your bible , without understanding a part of it. This is perfect. Quick, easy, to the point-Taking you to other verses that back up the viewpoint. It usually makes my study turn into a much deeper and broader lesson! It Takes into account and is published from a perspective that includes an earthly millennial kingdom and consistently carries that view, correctly, throughout the commentary. The earthly kingdom understanding, finally made the bible clear snd consistent. No more contradictions!

Great Commentary
(3/10/2019)
Reviewed by (LEX CULLEN, PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA) - This is a great commentary, I have used it in preference to my other commentaries since I purchased it.
The authors clarify things which many commentaries don't even touch on. I like the fact that they believe the Bible as it is, without too much allegory or spiritualising of the text unless it is clearly required.
Dispensations are clearly taught right through the Bible, and without them, way too much is left to the imagination of the commentator, rather than the clear Word of God.
Thank you to the authors for a great commentary.

Worth the price
(12/23/2016)
Reviewed by (Kerby Rials, Bastogne, Province of Luxembourg, BELGIUM) - I have been pleased with this commentary. It always seems to have something helpful and succinct to say, and it is a modern commentary of both the Old and New Testaments. Worth every penny. It lacks the personal illustrations of J. Vernon McGee, however, but it has a comment on almost every verse (unlike many commentaries which just give you a summary of the chapter, or run all comments together on a subject (like Matthew Henry), making it a bit more work to find what you are looking for. It stays away from the wordiness of John Gill and the extraneous detail of minor points often found in the NICOT and NICNT. The only problem I have is that sometimes the commentary is just a rephrasing of the passage concerned, and is not particularly insightful.

Reviewed by (Gene Higgins, Haddonfield, New Jersey, United States) - This is a "must-have" study tool for Bible study. While it may not delve as deeply into each verse as single-book commentaries do, it is consistently helpful in grasping the meaning of Biblical passages. Well worth the money!
For a 2 vol. commentary this is great
(1/6/2015)
Reviewed by (Mark Adams, McDonald, Kansas, United States) - I am a pastor and have this commentary set in both hard copy and on my office computer. I like it so well that I purchased is for my personal laptop computer as well so I could have it available when traveling. As a pastor I would not rely on any single volume or set of commentaries, but I believe this set is a good reference to have. E-sword has been a blessing to my ministry saving me many hours of typing in my sermon and lesson preparations as well as in searching for various items through the use of their concordances. Many of the e-sword helps I have on my office computer I also have in hard copy from years gone by but e-sword is quicker and more convenient to use.

Detailed Commentary
(5/11/2014)
Reviewed by (Enoch Daniell, Fayetteville, GA, US) - I have four Commentaries and all are good. However, I like the Bible Knowledge Commentary for its detail. Also it is written by more than one person so you have more than one view on any given verse. I switch between it and McAuthur.
Great choice
(4/15/2014)
Reviewed by (Randall Grindinger, Rockford, IL, US) - This was a great choice for a commentary and bible background source combined! Sometimes you need to just let the verse speak to you as you meditate, and some times you need a theology or a history professor to come along side of you and give you all the background. The timelines are especially valuable if you have a project that needs that special overview of a time period that enlightens a topic.

Bible Commentaries
(6/16/2013)
Reviewed by (Donald Miller, Williamsport, PA, US) - I recently added The Bible Knowledge Commentary(BKC) to my suite of e-Sword commentaries. I find it concise and very helpful, following scripture line-by-line through both OT and NT. It's well worth the low price to have such a valuable tool. I recommend it highly, as well as the Believers Bible Commentary(BBC) and Baker's New Testament Bible Commentary(BNTC), both of which I also use. These are my "big three" newer sources of information regarding scripture. They stand alongside the Matthew Henry and F.B.Meyer, as well as a few others that e-Sword generously supplies with the basic program.
I use all the features of e-Sword, especially the text editor, as I find this the most effective way of studying the bible and of doing the weekly lessons for Bible Study Fellowship. Of course, the commentaries are only referred to after answering the questions, giving The Spirit first chance to lead. I now take my computer to each bible study I'm involved with, simply because it's so handy to have so many different versions of the bible just a mouse-click away. But the commentaries and dictionary are invaluable tools as well for anyone who wants to gain a more in-depth knowledge of God's Word.
Thank you, e-Sword, for giving me such an important tool for developing a closer relationship with my Savior!

The insights are written in such a way that you don't have to have a seminary education to understand what is presented in the subject, book or chapter or verse.

Thank you for making this valuable resource to the e-sword family of study resources.

Reviewed by (Mark Adams, McDonald, KS, US) - As a pastor I normally use numerous commentaries in the preparation of a message. One of the six I nearly always use when preparing a message from the NT is the Bible Knowledge Commentary. It is a blessing to have this commentary on my computer where I can copy and paste directly from the source into my study or preaching notes. I highly recommend this commentary even though there are some areas where I disagree with the commentator. For a two volume commentary it is one of the best that I am aware of.

(9/15/2012)
Reviewed by (Claire Hoffman, Cincinnati, Ohio, US) - I have used Walvoord and Zuck's Bible Knowledge Commentary ever since I seriously started to study the Bible! It is the best basic commentary to start with, after you've read the passage and gleaned what the Holy Spirit is teaching you first. Having it electronically is very handed, though it seems none of the maps or illustrations came over electronically. The charts are handy to have electronically though. Definitely worth it!
Excellent Resource
(6/2/2012)
Reviewed by (Mike Bass, Carthage, NC, US) - This is an excellent offering from the Evangelical school of thought. I like a good balance with my secondary sources. And this is a great resource concerning that balance.
Reliable Commentary
(3/24/2012)
Reviewed by (Brian Day, Margate, Kent, U.K.) - I have not had this commentary very long but in the areas in which I have used it I have found it helpful. It is concise without being lightweight and holds to a high view of Scripture as being throughout the word of God.
At times it appears more like a concordance with multiple cross references and tends to proceed with a word for word commentary which is available by using a Bible translation that has Strong's numbers embedded in it; such as the KJV+ or the NASB+.
The actual comments on the passage are warm but not particulary devotional. This is a useful commentary but there are better ones available.
(I personally have benefitted from the Believer's Bible Commentary as a concise study guide, The Baker's NT Commentary for a fully detailed commentary and of course Matthew Henry as a good, although dated, devotional commentary. I have also benefitted from the Preacher's Commentary.)

For such a work to come from a Theological Seminary, where most works are mainly from individual authors, speaks volumes to the quality of the work.
This work contains a huge wealth of exposition which can only be regarded a an incredible blessing.
