Nicky Crane (from forum post):

“I’d just like to recommend the UBS commentaries. It’s my first commentary of choice. I’m into Bible storying, which means I need to translate the meaning of the Bible passage into Albanian comprehensible to the not very literate villager. So I need to know what it means – what a discipline! The ubs explanations of the meaning, the greek, possible ways of translating etc is invaluable. My one regret is that they don’t have all the books in the Bible!”

Observation: New Testament has complete coverage, but Old Testament lacks Numbers, Judges, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel,
Suggestion to add UBS new volumes: 1 & 2 Kings, Ezra, Nehemiah
