Lexham Bible Guides - what Faith Traditions are represented?

Greg Rose

The Lexham Bible Guides look interesting based upon the shore video I saw.  It looks like various interpretations are gathered into the guide so you can see a range of peoples interpretations.  I was wondering if these interpretations are differentiated by Faith tradition or not.  The short video indicated interpretations by specific individuals but I am unable to tell what Faith tradition they fall into.  To me that would be very enlightening.  For example, an interpretation by "Barret" and by "Barton" is shown.  I would be more interested in knowing if these are interpretations followed by Lutherans, Calvinist, Evangelicals, Catholics, etc. so I can get an understanding how folks in those traditions understand the passages.  Do the Lexham Bible Guides provide this information?

Greg, that's a good question, and something we considered when creating the guides. But it turned out to not be feasible.

The Lexham Bible Guides (as a whole) represent interpretations across the spectrum, but it often gets tricky to label which faith tradition various interpreters represent. Frequently a variety of interpretations exist within a larger tradition, too. Sometimes a commentary series explicitly indicates what faith tradition it represents (like the New Beacon Bible Commentary [Wesleyan]), but there still may be different views held by interpreters in that tradition. Academic, technical commentaries like the Anchor Bible have contributors from many different traditions.

We did not systematically link interpretations with particular faith traditions because of that great variety and because commentators don't always indicate what faith tradition they identify with. In fact, advocates for certain interpretations regularly include members of various traditions, and two Lutherans or two Evangelicals may hold widely different views even while technically belonging to the same tradition.
