Hi
Does anyone have a list of Bible Commentaries written by women (who would identify as evangelical) ?
Thank you

Here is a blog post. https://cwoznicki.com/2022/03/08/new-testament-commentaries-written-by-women/ Best Commentaries has this resource. https://bestcommentaries.com/library/1143/commentaries-by-female-scholars/ And here is the Women's Bible Commentary 3rd edition in Logos https://www.logos.com/product/16101/womens-bible-commentary-3rd-ed
Just look at a given series and pick the women authors. Someone might have a list. I personally recommend that you get the best commentaries regardless. I can recommend Karen Jobes and Margaret Thrall as two excellent commentators that immediately come to mind..
Jeannine K. Brown is outstanding as well.
Thanks all this is helpful [:)]

Hi P. A., we have a handful listed here: http://www.logos.com/bible-resources-by-women. I hope that we'll add much more to this page I linked at some point, but not right away.
There are, of course, many other commentaries by women on Logos. One shortcut to help: you can look through the list of Mobile Ed professors and click through for the other resources they've written. Another way to find commentaries by women is to check specific series—if they published one woman, it's likely they published more. The Story of God Bible Commentary series (SGBC) is an example.
Hope this helps, and happy studying!

These are my 2 favorites and perhaps the only good ones I know 👍😁👌

Thanks! I put Taylor's LXX Intro on my wishlist ... interesting approach.
I might recommend Pheme Perkins and Irene Nowell.
Perkins wrote commentaries in Paideia and Interpretation, as well as several introductory books to the bible. Strangely, her Reading the New Testament, 3rd edition, which we use in my seminary, is not available in Logos, although FL has (I think?) a great relationship with the publisher and this book's companion volume, Reading the Old Testament (by a different author), is available in Logos...
Sr. Irene Nowell, OSB, has written and contributed to a number of commentaries and also books on women of the Old Testament and praying the Psalms, the latter of which I studied as part of my monastic formation. I wish her Pleading, Cursing, Praising: Conversing with God through the Psalms from Liturgical Press would be made available in Logos (that, and her more recent Wisdom: The Good Life).
They're not evangelical, but they're well-read by evangelicals (obviously, Paideia and Interpretation are read by many walks of faith).
Thanks All this very help

An African-American scholar should also be mentioned. Mignon R. Jacobs for her excellent commentary for NICOT

I'm just curious why? Do women write different commentaries than men?
Great question Roger
I would simply say because it is good to have female bible scholars represented.
Whether a bible scholar is good or bad is not determined by their gender (male or female), but rather how they handle the word of God (exegesis and hermeneutics etc.
Sometimes females can have insights, that we we blokes miss [;)]
If someone is gifted regardless of their gender (male or female) I am willing to learn from them.
I haven't checked any of the lists posts above, but there's Mariam Kamell's commentary on James (ZECNT, co-authored with Craig Blomberg). I suppose it would be hard to know what parts of it were written by her and what parts by Craig.
I lover her! I have her video lectures with Craig. I find myself paying attention more when she lectures than when Craig lectures 👍😁👌

She really is a good teacher. I never had any classes with her because I'd graduated from Regent College before she was hired there. But we've had her preach for my church a few times. Always a treat!

PS. Very smart lady!
I would gladly second many names mentioned already, but may I add Margaret Thrall, whose commentary on 2nd Corinthians for ICC is one of the best technical commentaries out there, as well as Sophie Laws, who wrote a good commentary on James for the Black's series?
When I notice that my library does not include resources written by a group of people, then I have no idea what they write. I have to carefully find resources written by them to learn what they write. Over time, I have been trying to build the most diverse library possible.
