EXODUS COMMENTARY

I like the Tyndale commentary by R. Alan Cole best, followed by either the Word Biblical Commentary by Durham or the New American Commentary by Stuart.

Tyndale is brief but pretty through.  It is clear.

The other two are not as brief but good.

I don't know.  They work for me.

I'd go with Sarna's commentary in the JPS series. First, because I find Sarna to be a very careful scholar; second, because we often forget to consider how the book is read in a Jewish context.

I'd go with Sarna's commentary in the JPS series.

I wish I can have this series. I agree we are to listen more carefully to the Jewish opinion in the matter of the Old Testament exegesis.

I like Douglas Stuart's commentary in the NAC series. Philip Ryken's book Written in Stone is a good study on the ten commandments. I've always appreciated the thoroughness of Stuart's commentaries and if I recall correctly we used his book on OT exegesis for Hebrew class when I was in seminary. IMO he's  a very good OT commentator.

I came across Ryken's book when I did a series on the Ten Commandments a couple years ago and found it very helpful.

There's a very interesting volume on Exodus by Umberto Cassuto (plus his 2-volume treatment of Genesis) in this collection:

Thanks for the tip, Vincent!  Had no idea that Cassuto was in Prepub.  I am looking at the print edition of his Exodus volume on my shelf right now and have longed for it and his other volumes to be put into Logos format.  Picked up Cassuto years ago in Dallas and have always appreciated his scholarship and insights.  As I recall, it was a little pricey for me at the time which kept me from getting his other works but the Prepub price looks very good. 

Ordered!  [... just don't tell my wife - "these things must be handled del-i-cate-ly"  [;)]]

I really like Ryken's commentary on Exodus. As far as exposition goes it is really good.  Though I don't really remember it being very technical.  He gives a good treatment of the text with good insight.  It is in the Preaching the Word series.
