Should I Prioirtize Both Hermeneia and Continental in my Library?

Under my list of prioritized commentaries in my library, I will be prioritizing Hermeneia after I pick up L7 Platinum (I also currently have NAC and some other evangelical/conservative commentaries prioritized as well so between those and Hermeneia, I can get a broad range of views on looking up Scriptures in my prioritized list of commentaries).

Since Continental Commentaries is in the set alongside Hermeneia, should I also add Continental Commentaries to my list of prioritized commentaries in my library alongside Hermeneia so both appear in my list of prioritized commentaries, or should I only stick with prioritizing Hermeneia?

Thanks!

I personally would prioritize Continental Commentaries higher than Hermeneia and Hermeneia just above Anchor Bible if you have it, but we are all different New Interpreter's Bible is my Highest prioritized commentary. The CC is not quite as academic but I really like most all it's volumes (I meant by that Her. is more in-depth is all).

Sounds good. I only have a few volumes of Anchor, so I haven't prioritized Anchor. So far I have prioritized: Butler Analytical, MacArthur NT, EEC (even though it still needs more volumes), New American (I find myself using this quite a bit) and now Hermeneia. I'll add CC to the list right above Hermeneia. I've heard it's really good. I forgot to take advantage of the last sale it was on, so I'm glad I finally have it.

Thanks!

The assistant minister at my church loves it... she was telling me the first 5 verses of the gospel offered her enough ideas for 30 sermons.

Between CC and Herm (and ACC), I can see myself heavily using them to warrant the upgrade. My only regret is why I didn't have these commentaries the last two semesters when I so badly needed them. :-)
