All of these are available through online booksellers:

  • International Bible Commentary – The IBC brings together in one volume many voices speaking from different cultural perspectives to interpret God’s Word for modern man. This commentary offers a guide to each book of the Bible as well as insights into contemporary concerns from diverse cultural perspectives.
  • New Jerome Biblical Commentary – The NJBC represents the efforts of some of the finest of Catholic scholars; however, the work is quite technical and not recommended for beginners.
