Lexham Research Commentaries Question

I am performing exegesis on the passages related to the Abrahamic Covenant in Genesis.

Would this benefit me at all?

I'm already going to consult: Word Biblical, Heremenia, Continental, NICOT, Anchor Bible, etc., plus HALOT, TDOT, NIDOTTE, etc., for word studies.

Thanks!

The LRC is designed to put you to first base quickly. On a given passage, it will tell you what all the reference commentaries point to as a main point. You can then take it from there. It's immensely helpful. I consider anything valuable related to Genesis (and the Pentateuch) indispensable. I think I got my copy in a package deal.

I like the Bible Guides as well. They are basically a commentary survey. They go through the major issues of each passage and link them to the most relevant sources available in Logos for that passage. They even include a brief synopsis of each author's view. They are very helpful.

I'd have to agree with Joseph. I love them. It's best when you can have all the resources they refer to throughout the Research Commentary. Now if you're a biblioholic and you see that there are a few or more resources missing that are mentioned in the LRC you will probably go through the temptations of, "should I or shouldn't I get those books?" Speaking as a weening biblioholic you'll end of getting them and loving that you did. But then you go through the remorseful thoughts of Romans 7 [*-)]

So if you can afford to fork over the cash for the 2 vol. set, I'd say get them. They will enhance your study of any Book let alone Genesis.

On a side note, when did they change the name of these from Lexham Bible Guides to Lexham Research Commentaries? I do like the new name, but I didn't realize they had changed.
