Info from Denver Seminary Annotated Old Testament Bibliography (* indicates recommended)

- Job: WBC or TOTC

*Clines, D.J.A. Job 1-20 (WBC). Word, 1989. Remarkable study in its detail, with profound reflection on the implications of the rhetoric.

*______________. Job 21-37 (WBC). Thomas Nelson, 2006.

Anderson, F.I. Job (TOTC). IVP, 1976. Evangelical and linguistic study of the text.

-Daniel: WBC or TOTC

*Goldingay, John. Daniel (WBC). Waco: Word Books, 1989. Detailed comments with comparisons with biblical and non-biblical parallels. Defends a late date. Evangelical.

Baldwin, Joyce G. Daniel (TOTC). Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1978. Helpful with attention to background, textual, and theological issues. Evangelical.

-Hosea: WBC or NAC

*Stuart, Douglas. Hosea - Jonah (WBC). Waco: Word Books, 1987. Solid textual and expositional commentary. Stresses covenantal background. Evangelical.

Hubbard, David A. Hosea (TOTC). Downers Grove: InterVarsity, 1989. Helpful commentary with some concern for literary features. Evangelical.

-Jonah: WBC or TOTC

Stuart, Douglas. Hosea - Jonah (WBC). Waco: Word Books, 1987. Solid textual and expositional commentary. Stresses covenantal background. Evangelical.

Alexander, T.D., D.W. Baker, and B.K. Waltke. Obadiah, Jonah, Micah (TOTC). Downers Grove: InterVarsity, 1988. Helpful, but sometimes brief. Evangelical.

I would vote against WBC (i.e. for the other choice) in every single case except Daniel.

Just my two cents, and it didn't cost you that much.

Best Commentaries dot com has some of these pitted against each other in some form or another. Since the WBC is on sale, I thought I could pick some up- but want to make sure I get the best ones (keeping tight on the budget).

I purchased in the WBC- Ezra-Nehemiah, Job, Daniel, Hosea-Jonah, Galatians, Colossians-Philemon, Pastoral Epistles, Hebrews, 2 Pet-Jude.

But I wonder if I should exchange some to get Genesis, Leviticus, Chronicles, Song of Songs, and Amos...and if so, which do I trade out? I have the entire NAC, NIVAC, and Tyndale sets.

I do NOT have the New International Commentary series...that is later down the road, so those are not in my consideration for this question.

Thank you for helping me.
