Tyndale Commentaries Question

Need?  Who's to say but you?  If you can't identify a particular need, then you don't need them.

You already have good selection of in-depth commentaries, so I would guess that Tyndale wouldn't add much since they are somewhat shorter.  Tyndale does cover every book in the bible, though--the other series don't (well Lange does).

If I already have NICNT/NICOT, WBC and Lange commentaries do I really need Tyndale?

After purchasing the above commentaries last year along with a L3 Gold to L4 Platinum upgrade my resources are stretched thin.

Thanks

If your resources are stretched thin, then that should be the answer.

But if you want to research commentaries, http://www.bestcommentaries.com/best.aspx is a good place to start.

The Tyndale volumes of Numbers, Joshua, 1&2 Chronicles, Esther, Job, Lamentations, Daniel, Obadiah, Jonah, Zechariah, Malachi, Colossians, Philemon, and the Johannine Epistles are all rated as one of the top two in their Best Commentaries designations.

A suggestion is to Google "Tyndale Commentaries CD-rom" and do some research -- you may even find some other alternatives!

Quoted from the BestCommentaries.com web site:  works toward resolving that tension by enabling Bible students at all levels to make good, informed decisions about which commentaries they should purchase and use by providing a constantly updated biblography of commentaries on each book of the Bible and collecting reviews, ratings, and prices of commentaries from a variety of sources.

You have some very good commentaries with everything you have listed.  The Tyndale set would give you a set of commentaries that are conservative, modern, easy to understand yet very solid, a set that covers the whole bible.

The set is currently on sale for 150.00 at certain places, which is a great deal for the set, but do you really need or want a set of commentaries that covers this area.

As a teacher, I am buying this set to be able to demonstrate it to others, and fill out my library.  If I had some of your commentaries, I would not buy this set for myself, but I would still buy it for others, but that is because I love to show believers how to use bible software and this set  is at the level that will appeal to them!

Of course with me money is always an issue and it sounds like this might be the case with you right now, if it is don't feel bad about passing this up, you can get it in the future and most of the things you would find in it are in your other sets, along with much more.  You can always pick it up latter.

You can always pick it up latter.

In Christ,
