With Logos Bible Software, every book has a Scripture index. A quick search will find every mention of, say, Deuteronomy in your whole commentary series, whether or not it appears in the Deuteronomy volume. See the tutorial on defining collections to get started. This kind of search turns up little nuggets of insight buried deep in the pages of a volume you would never have thought to pull down from a bookshelf and open.
In a more technical commentary, the author may quote from the Greek or Hebrew text. Logos Bible Software assists you here, too. Because every word of every book inside Logos is essentially a link, you can double-click on that Hebrew word and the software will search your lexicons for a match. This puts within reach of the student or layperson commentaries that might otherwise seem too technical.
Finally, there's the simple economy of time. By speeding up and adding efficiency to nearly every aspect of your Bible study, Logos Bible Software frees up time that you can use to consult more commentaries. Where you might have consulted only one or two print commentaries, you can now look through half a dozen in the same amount of time or even less.

The appropriate use of commentaries is the subject of much discussion, a topic that is beyond the scope of this article though Logos offers a number of excellent resources on exegesis and hermeneutics. What is widely acknowledged, however, is that commentaries are an acceptable, even vital, tool for Bible study. But don't take my word for it Multipurpose Tools for Bible Study , p. The many areas of specialty require great leisure for properly assessing and evaluating the many discoveries, investigations, and modes of inquiry that may lead to light on a dark portion of the Bible.
Such leisure few can lavish. Moreover, Scripture does not always reveal its secrets in the same measure to each generation, much less to every expositor. It is wise, then, after you have made your own thorough interpretations of the text with liberal use of tools mentioned in the preceding chapters, to check your interpretations against those of others, to reevaluate if necessary, and to supplement if possible.
In all there must be an impelling passion to hear out the full-throated accents of the sacred text as it sounded in the hour of its birth. A Handbook on the Gospel of Mark , p. Commentaries are indispensable for any translator who is going to do justice to his work. Commenting and Commentaries , quoted in Introduction to Biblical Interpretation. Of course, you are not such wiseacres as to think of ways that you can expound Scripture without assistance from the works of divines and learned men who have labored before you in the field of exposition.
If you are of that opinion, pray remain so, for you are not worth the trouble of conversion, and like a little coterie who think with you, would resent the attempt as an insult to your infallibility. It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others. This article provides an excellent overview of the various approaches commentaries have taken, what commentary readers expect a commentary to do, and proposes five different "poles" or dimensions that can be used to describe and categorize commentaries.
Because it was not intended as a survey of commentaries, only a few commentaries are mentioned by name. What are higher criticism and text criticism? The Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics offers these helpful definitions: "Criticism as applied to the Bible simply means the exercise of judgment. Both conservative and nonconservative scholars engage in two forms of biblical criticism: lower criticism deals with the text; higher criticism treats the source of the text.
Lower criticism attempts to determine what the original text said, and the latter asks who said it and when, where, and why it was written.

What Kinds of Commentaries Are There? Danker recommends spending time with past commentators, because Using Commentaries in Logos Bible Software Commentaries can be expensive, so you should be sure to reap the maximum benefit from every dollar you spend on commentaries. He taught that many passages of the Pentateuch were not intended to be taken literally. In fact, he said that they were literally false, but allegorically true. He did not make the distinction between natural and revealed religion.
For example, Pagan systems may have natural religion highly developed, but, from a Judeo-Christian point of view, with much concomitant error. His exegesis served to tide over the difficulty for the time amongst the Hellenistic Jews, and had great influence on Origen of Alexandria and other Alexandrian Christian writers.
The G20 in Osaka by Shinzo Abe - Project Syndicate
Farrar, in his "Life of Christ", says that it has been suggested that when Christ visited the Temple , at twelve years of age, there may have been present among the doctors Jonathan ben Uzziel , once thought the author of the Yonathan Targum , and the venerable teachers Hillel and Shammai , the handers-on of the Mishna. They were interpretative translations or paraphrases from Hebrew into Aramaic for the use of the synagogues when, after the Exile , the people had lost the knowledge of Hebrew.
It is doubtful whether any of them were committed to writing before the Christian Era. They are important as indicating the character of the Hebrew text used. Shlomo Yitzchaki — , more commonly known as Rashi RA bbi SH lomo I tzhaki , was a medieval French rabbi and author of a comprehensive commentary on the Talmud and commentary on the Tanakh. Hillel and Shammai were the last "pair" of several generations of "pairs" Zugot of teachers. These pairs were the successors of the early scribes who lived after the Exile.
These teachers are said to have handed down and expanded the Oral Law , which, according to the uncritical view of many Jews, began with Moses. This Oral Law consists of legal and liturgical interpretations and applications of the Pentateuch.
List of biblical commentaries
As no part of it was written down, it was preserved by constant repetition Mishna. On the destruction of Jerusalem several rabbis, learned in this Law, settled at Jamnia , near the sea, twenty-eight miles west of Jerusalem. Then schools were opened at Sepphoris and Tiberias to the west of the Sea of Galilee. The rabbis comforted their countrymen by teaching that the study of the Law Oral as well as Written took the place of the sacrifices. They devoted their energies to arranging the Unwritten Torah, or Law. One of the most successful at this was Rabbi Akiba who took part in the Third Jewish Revolt of Bar Kochba , against the Romans , and lost his life The work of systematization was completed and probably committed to writing by the Jewish patriarch at Tiberias , Rabbi Jehudah ha-Nasi "The Prince" He was of noble birth, wealthy, learned, and is called by the Jews "Our Master the Saint" or simply Rabbi par excellence.
The compilation made by this Rabbi is the Mishna. It is written in Mishnaic Hebrew , and consists of six great divisions or orders, each division containing, on an average, about ten tractates, each tractate being made up of several chapters. The Mishna may be said to be a compilation of Jewish traditional moral theology, liturgy, law, etc.
There were other traditions not embodied in the work of Rabbi, and these are called additional Mishna. The discussions of later generations of rabbis all centred round the text of the Mishna. Interpreters or "speakers" laboured upon it both in Jerusalem and Babylonia until , and the results are comprised in the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmuds.
The word Talmud means teaching, doctrine. Each Talmud consists of two parts, the Mishna in Hebrew , in sixty-three tractates, and an explanation of the same Gemara , ten or twelve times as long. The passages in the Gemara containing additional Mishna are, however, given in New Hebrew.
Only thirty-nine tractates of the Mishna have Gemara. Next to the Bible the Babylonian Talmud is the great religious book of orthodox Jews, though the Palestinian Talmud is more highly prized by modern scholars. From the year till the Middle Ages the rabbis geonim in Babylonia and elsewhere were engaged in commenting on the Talmud and reconciling it with the Bible. A list of such commentaries is given in The Jewish Encyclopedia. Simultaneously with the Mishna and Talmud there grew up a number of Midrashim , or commentaries on the Bible.
These latter, although chronologically later, are important for the corroborative light which they throw on the language of the New Testament. The Gospel of St. John is seen to be steeped in early Jewish phraseology, and the words of Ps. Matthew referenced from Psalm , though Rashi following the Rabbis interpreted the words in the sense of applying them to Abraham. Anan ben David , a prominent Babylonian Jew in the eighth century, rejected Rabbinism for the written Old Testament and became the founder of the sect known a Karaites a word indicating their preference for the written Bible.
This schism produced great energy and ability on both sides. The principal Karaite Bible commentators were Nahavendi ninth century ; Abu al-Faraj Harun ninth century , exegete and Hebrew grammarian; Solomon ben Yerucham tenth century ; Sahal ben Mazliach died , Hebrew grammarian and lexicographer; Joseph al-Bazir died ; Japhet ben Ali , the greatest Karaite commentator of the tenth century; and Judah Hadassi died Besides commentaries on the Bible, Saadiah wrote a systematic treatise bringing revealed religion into harmony with Greek philosophy. He thus became the forerunner of Maimonides and the Catholic Schoolmen.
Solomon ben Isaac , called Rashi born wrote very popular explanations of the Talmud and the Bible. Abraham Ibn Ezra of Toledo died had a good knowledge of Oriental languages and wrote learned commentaries on the Old Testament. He was the first to maintain that Isaiah contains the work of two prophets. Moses Maimonides died , the greatest Jewish scholar of the Middle Ages, of whom his coreligionists said that "from Moses to Moses there was none like Moses", wrote his "Guide to the Perplexed", which was read by St.
He was a great admirer of Aristotle, who was to him the representative of natural knowledge as the Bible was of the supernatural.
