I realized in my last post to make people aware of the New Interpreter's Bible I stated that top scholars wrote it but i gave no names. Here is a complete list of all 97 contributors, I know the page says 18 but if you count up the authors listed there alone you get more than that. So here is the information you will see a number of favourites I am sure and give you an idea why I like this set so much….
