The Oxford Bible Commentary is an exciting new ecumenical verse-by-verse commentary on the whole Bible, including all the books of the Apocrypha, for use by Christians, Jews, and members of other religious traditions, or of none. 1.5 million words long, it has been written by a team of internationally respected biblical scholars chosen for their expertise and ability to communicate rather than for their adherence to any particular faith. Now available in paperback, the Oxford Bible Commentary will provide the one-volume resource for the Bible for the 21st century.

Product description

Review

A very fine work and a useful addition to any study bookshelf. ― Church Review

[A] magnificent, supremely scholarly volume. Indispensible to clergy, lay preachers, students, adult members of congregations and those just interested in the Bible as literature, it provides an up to date, clear, verse by verse explanation of all the books of the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Apocrypha... After carefully examining this brilliant authoritative volume, I unreservedly recommend it to anyone who wishes to understand the Bible more fully. ― Ronald S. Mallone, Day by Day

Review

`Review from previous edition It draws on a broad spectrum of critical scholarship to provide an authoritative guide to reading the books of the Bible, and is likely to dominate this section of the market for a long time to come . . . It puts the resources of scholarship at the disposal of a wide readership . . . students will derive excellent guidance from it. Those who have primarily an interest in the Bible as literature will find it a source of new insights. Preachers, teachers and pastors will find it enormously helpful. This commentary is a milestone in biblical scholarship. The editors deserve our thanks and congratulations - and a wide readership. ' Expository Times `This is the first single-volume Bible commentary to do what it says. Brilliant! ' New Directions

From 1991 to 2014 I was Oriel & Laing Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford, and a Fellow of Oriel College. Since retiring in 2014 I have been a Senior Research Fellow at Campion Hall, a Jesuit college in Oxford. I live in Abingdon near Oxford, and am married with one daughter and two granddaughters. A priest in the Church of England, I assist in the parish of Abingdon-on-Thames.

My whole career has been in Oxford, where I studied Theology at Keble College and completed a doctorate in Old Testament studies. From 1974 to 1991 I was Lecturer in Theology (Old Testament) and a Fellow of St Cross College, Oxford.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly fast delivery, well packaged, great condition
Reviewed in the United States on 21 May 2021
Verified Purchase
In more than one respect, outstanding. Texas Book Consignments had (what struck me as) incredibly fast delivery. I bought it on May 18, 2021, and it was at my door early in day today (May 21, 2021). According to Invoice, S/H was $0.00. ($48.99 + tax seemed a great price for such a book in this condition.) Seller, through Amazon, apparently called it "Used - Very Good," but I see only very little difference between what I received, very carefully wrapped, and a carefully handled, brand new book - one corner of one cover might have been bent, just a little bit. It's a very handsome volume, physically. I'd already started (but just barely) reading the exact same book in paperback (same copyright date) and, as expected of a book of this nature from Oxford, it seems to be very scholarly, but also very accessible & readable. I'd recommend getting "The New Oxford Annotated Bible (with Apocrypha)" to go with it. I was a bit disappointed by "The Oxford Companion to the Bible," but others might like it. The Oxford Commentary is very different in its approach (based on what I've read, so far, of each) from that of the HarperCollins Bible Commentary, so if you really want to go all out, you might want the Harper Collins Study Bible AND HarperCollins Commentary, as well as Oxford's version of each. (Try to get the more recent, revised and expanded edition of the HarperCollins Commentary.) One bookseller sold me the older HC Commentary after advertising the new one - a different bookseller.

3.0 out of 5 stars A very good commentary; but ……
Reviewed in the Netherlands on 14 May 2021
Verified Purchase
The content of this book is very solid and well informed, especially when compared to many study bibles, which in some cases offer a clearly tendentious interpretation of the Bible, and in other cases, possibly out of fear of losing market share, tend to cling to old-fashioned ideas since long abandoned in scientific discourse, which the average believer hears in church, and expects to see confirmed in his study bible.

Far from ideal, however, is this commentary as a physical book. It is well printed, in a rather small but clear and easily readable letter, but it has two major drawbacks:
- it has a very stiff glued back, as a consequence of which it never lies completely open. This makes the reading of the right column on left pages and of the left column on right pages rather unpleasant.
- it is very heavy (ca 2400 gr, much heavier than many study bibles), and therefore not easy to handle.

A well-bound and lighter new edition of this very valuable commentary, with a reasonable price, is an important desideratum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Understand Bible Reference Book
Reviewed in Canada on 4 June 2018
Verified Purchase
A well written and in-depth explanation of the Bible on a book by book basis. I first utilized this commentary as a library loan. I kept coming back to it so I have finally added it to my own personal library. So glad that I did, you will be as well! Highly recommended for casual personal study. 5 stars out of 5

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible Commentary Par Excellance!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2017
Verified Purchase
This commentary is the best I have come across of the one-volume commentaries. It's layout and its approach to each book of the Bible is so very clear and its review of previous commentators is comprehensive, I recently came across it in the library of Tymawr Convent (in Wales) and decided there and then that I must have my own copy. I find it invaluable as background reading for the preparation of sermons and for Bible study. It is what I would call "healthily scheptical" in its approach or, if you prefer, "wide ranging", which is, of course, what you would expect from such editors as John Barton and John Muddiman.

Dieses Handbuch bietet tatsächlich, was einer seiner Klappentexte verspricht: Es informiert auch NichtspezialistInnen immer kompetent, interessant und undogmatisch, manchmal brillant über ältere, neuere und neuste Ergebnisse der Bibelforschung. Eine bewundernswürdige Leistung!
