This premier commentary series enjoys a worldwide readership of scholars, pastors, and serious Bible students.

Astonishing bargain (3/13/2024)
Reviewed by (John Davies, London, ENG, United Kingdom) - I cannot tell you how happy I am to have this now complete commentary series. And at a hand of God price. Normally you would pay brought the roof for this series. Also this has more volumes for the old testament than anywhere else. It's a no brained. Buy it.

Very Practical and Understandable, Very Useful (7/22/2023)
Reviewed by (Van White, Newport News, VA, US) - After comparing a half dozen commentaries at a local Bible college library for my sermon project in 1 John 2, the sister New Testament commentary stood out to me as being very helpful and readable. In fact, I had made a photocopy of a few pages and I wrote on the top, "I really like this guy!" Then, I found that set of NT commentaries on ESS. Since it was a big investment for me, I first asked my professor of the preaching class if he recommended these commentaries. He did. Therefore, for my class sermon, this commentary was the main one I used. Finally, I decided to also purchase the present OT set, assuming it would be just as useful as the NT set. I look forward to using it a lot! Helpful hint... First get the free sample of this commentary. Then ESS will send you an email in a couple of weeks offering you a discounted price. I did that.

One of the top series available (5/4/2022)
Reviewed by (BRUCE LANGDON, HAMPTON, NB, Canada) - When you check many of the lists for recommended commentaries, almost all will contain one from the NICOT on their lists. Well respected pastors and theologians use these often for their reference work. These are not devotional, but if you are interested in the exposition of scripture then this an excellent series. The price point for this series is an absolute bargain. Logos software sells the 28 volume for roughly $1500 CAD. This was an easy purchase for me as I am currently going through the book of Proverbs and needed to purchase several commentaries. The price for the 2 volumes of the NICOT in Logos almost covered the price of all 28 volumes from eStudySource. Granted, it is not as integrated as when using Logos, having it beside my laptop on iPad is still pretty good.

Best Buy for Outstanding Set (6/13/2021)
Reviewed by (Dennis McFadden, Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States) - The New International Commentary of the Old Testament has established itself as a standard for believing Old Testament scholarship in recent decades. Some of the volumes have received a ranking as the best English work on their Old Testament book. And, every one of them are theologically sound and solid resources for pastors and lay Bible students The text boasts a high degree of readability by non-technical students while including the more scholarly comments in footnotes. For the budget conscious, the e-Sword version not only beats the price from every other Bible software provider on the market, but represents an 84% savings over the retail hardbound price!

Great Find (4/17/2021)

NICOT excellent value (1/12/2021)
Reviewed by (Terence Clarke, Sandy, Bedfordshire, UK) - This series (NICOT) purchased together with NICNT at about £150 was excellent value when compared with probably well over £1000 for the hard copies. Although I would probably have preferred the hard copies but the cost, not to mention shelf space, would have been prohibitive. I have only used Hebrews so far but it works well and connects to the eSword scripture text accurately. I already have a number of hard copies of both NICNT and NICOT and find them very useful and comprehensive. Altogether a good deal.

Great commentary, great value. Also includes Zechariah! (Boda, 2016) (8/18/2020)

New Int Comm - OT (5/14/2020)
Reviewed by (roy held, Norman, OK, US) - Wuest does a wonderful job of helping clarify meaning within the text. Well worth the investment, especially for those of us who read English only. A most helpful study aid deserving of inclusion in any basic bible reference set. A powerful tool for the e-Sword kit. I downloaded quite a few of the premium bibles, dictionaries, commentaries and map-charts recently, including some sets. It will take time for me to assess most of them, but this particular help was useful "right out of the box." Thank you, e-Sword and eStudySource for all you who put the excellence in e-Sword.

Exceptional Value Pastoral Commentary (10/19/2019)
Reviewed by (Ken Yeo, Orlando, FL, US) - I was comtemplating whether I should use Esword or Logos as my primary sermon prepartion tool. This NIC OT and NC commentaries are one of the major reasons why I decided to use Esword. This is a quality pastoral commentary set, from evengelical perspective, with a fraction of the cost in comparison to logos. I like the commentary layout, the main body is easy to read and not too techinical in original languages. However if I want to know more, the references in the brackets in the body of the commentary are handy. While there are free older commentaries on Esword, they are normally using older english and the layout in esword is often hard to follow. Many of these commentaries are a collections of many preachers and commentators, so there is lack of cohesion of the flow of the commentary. NIC OT and NT commentaries make my Esword a better tool. It makes me feel good that although Esword is free, this commentary increase the value of Esword tremendously. Highly recommended.

New International Commentary on the Old Testament (3/10/2019)
Reviewed by (Peter Williams, Bridgend, Bridgend, UK) - This is a very well written and researched set of commentaries. Some of the best Old Testament scholars have done a great job to balance the academic and the practical application of Scripture. To have such a resource available at a reasonable price is excellent.

Thoroughly faithful commentary (3/10/2019)
Reviewed by (Doug. Sotheren, Gosford, NSW, Australia) - Over the years I have had recourse to work from the hard copies of this series. Way back even sat under the teaching of one of its authors. It is now a delight to have it as a part of e-sword, easy to read, and access when needed. A thoroughly thorough series. Thanks

A Great Tool at A Great Price (10/30/2018)
Reviewed by (Peter B, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada) - The New International Commentary NT set is an amazing and in-depth tool that should be available to any student, teacher, and preacher of the word of God. Thankfully, ESS is able to make this a reality by offering the digital package at such a reduced price that preachers and pastors all around the world can access its helpful insights.

My Experiences Using e-Sword resources (10/30/2018)
Reviewed by (Ronald C. Baker, Headland, Al, US) - In most cases e-sword's resources have been invaluable; as a Pastor the commentaries available for free and purchase have been a great resources for ideas, illustrations, and explaining clearly some very difficult passages. The ability to copy & paste into a document is an enormous asset. The greatest asset is it's free. Donations are accepted but not required.This has been a blessing because at times finances were tight for some of us pastors in small churches. Thank You e-Sword for your Faithful ministry in supplying these needed resources to us servants of the Lord.Your reward will be from the Lord Jesus when He says Well Done Thy Good and Faithful Servant, Enter into the Joy of the Lord. God Bless you All and your continued ministry. In Christ a fellow servant RCB

Great Commentary Collection (10/30/2018)
Reviewed by (Bruce Shauger, Cedar Rapids, IA, United States) - This is a very thorough collection at an unbelievable price. There is no guarantee any collection will have all great books but the NICOT has a very scholarly collection with few books that are not excellent. You won't go wrong if you are looking for a complete set.

Great Scholarly Commentary (12/15/2017)
Reviewed by (Mark Palmer, Inverness, Nova Scotia, Canada) - This is an in-depth scholarly commentary. I have found it to be an excellent resource when you want to go very deep into the text and of course it’s also a valuable resource if you are enrolled in formal bible education.

An Excellent Resource (12/15/2017)
Reviewed by (Ram Krishnamurthy, Windsor, Ontario, Canada) - If you are into preaching/teaching or even desire to know the Bible more deeply, this is a must-have resource. Very easy to use in E-Sword. And the price is a lot less compared to the hardcopy versions or even other software versions. I purchased both the OT and NT set.

A classic and very valuable resource (12/15/2017)
Reviewed by (John Barrs, Liss, Hampshire, UK) - The two commentary sets NICNT and NICOT are invaluable for all study projects. Of course, nothing is more important than interacting with the actual text but the insights given in these commentary sets certainly help bring the text to life. I would not like to say "essential" but if you need helps then these are essential helps

Great commentary at a a great price (2/9/2017)
Reviewed by (Winston Shu, SUGAR LAND, TX, United States) - The NICOT/NT series has been a blessing to my Bible study and sermon preparation. It is not too technical yet contains the necessary information I need to know. In most cases it addresses the questions I might have. I have owned and used some hard copies of the NICOT series. At this price, it allows me to collect the whole set. I use eSword everyday. With this set at my finger tips, it adds to my resources in a convenient way.

A Great Deal! (2/9/2017)
Reviewed by (Keith Throop, Bloomington, IL, United States) - As a rule I prefer not to buy commentary sets, especially by multiple authors, since the work is generally inconsistent and one ends up with a number of good volumes mixed in with bad ones. The NICOT is an exception, as is the NICNT. thankfully, both sets are offered by eStudySource, and both sets are worth the price, especially the terrific prices offered here. No e-Sword user should pass them up.

Worth your investment (12/23/2016)
Reviewed by (Rodolfo Sabater, Singapore, Singapore, Singapore) - I immediately purchased NICOT when it was offered by estudysource.com for three reasons: (1) It will complete my already purchased NICNT which is also available with estudysource.com; (2) It is worth your investment for spiritual growth and you will never regret purchasing this awesome commentary; (3) It is a lot (and I mean, A LOT) cheaper than those who offer the same package on different software. With this offer, I can appreciate how solid and scholarly the commentaries are written, and gives a deeper insight on the verses that I am studying, even on a tight budget. I am now more inspired to study and learn about what God wants to reveal to me by His words, and these commentaries (NICOT and NICNT) surely is a wonderful tool to help me on my journey.

Reviewed by (Debbie Holley, Franklin, TN, USA) - This set has long been known to be an excellent asset to anyone studying the Bible in depth. As an Adult Sunday School teacher, I have purchased several of these books to aid my study over the years. It is really great to have all of them as an e-resource and connected directly to various Bible versions. I love the E-Sword platform and its versatility and now to have all the NICOT book studies literally at my fingertips...Heavenly! Thanks for continuing to add exemplary resources to this platform.
