To find a commentary, go to the Primo library search and type in key words like this:

- Then, filter the search for "Online Sources" or "E-Books" if you need a commentary quickly.

Selecting a Commentary
A commentary is a "collection of chapter-by-chapter or verse-by-verse explanations of...Scripture." - David R. Stewart
See recommendations at Best Commentaries: "The Rotten Tomatoes of Biblical Studies"
Consider when selecting a commentary:
-Is it recognized by scholars?
-How old is it, and is a newer one available? If it is older, is it a "classic"?
-What denominational perspective does it have?
-Who is the publisher and who is the author?
