Gospel simplicity is a very good channel. It’s because the presenter is a good, sincere person. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for this 💕

This is the first video I've seen of yours and I just want to say thank you. This is great advice. I really want to get a couple of the commentaries you mentioned. Your tips are so helpful. Bible first, commentaries later.

Hey Austin. Great video! Toward the end, you mentioned Chrysostom and Augustine. I would encourage you and your viewers to focus on the Orthodox Church Fathers and give them priority since they lived in pre-modernity and spoke the native language, more or less. Here are a few minds that have commentaries: St. Augustine St. Bede St. Cassiodorus St. John Chrysostom St. Basil the Great St. Gregory of Nyssa St. Athanasius of Alexandria St. Cyril of Alexandria St. Ephrem the Syrian St. Gregory the Great St. Theophylact of Ohrid St. Maximus the Confessor St. Symeon the New Theologian I recall Hartley’s The Go-Between line: The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

Very helpful video! I will look into that IVP commentary! Thank you so much and God bless you!

Great video, I need this Information. I’m going to buy a Moddy commentary. Thank you

I new to commentaries I brought one to try cheap second hand see if it can deepen my understanding of the bible. I didn’t know about 4 different types. I much more needed devotional one learning understanding and applying to my life I autistic so my eyes naturally see bible like a true story book I see black and white. I feel a commentary could help see bible in different colours instead black and white alone. When I do use any resources I do pray about information ask lord usually know if ok a warm calm floaty feeling inspiration joy from Holy Spirit.

I’m dipping my feet into commentaries and I didn’t really know where to start so this video was great help!

Great explanation of commentaries! Thanks man!

Thank you for this explanation! I’m reading the Bible for the first time, If I can resist, I’ll use commentaries when I read it a second time.

Thanks so much for this video

Great job bro ..I was looking for it ... finally found it... well explained very helpful....

Just found this channel! I’m enjoying the videos!

Great video. Commentaries are a great tool . ( we stand on the shoulders of giants ) You gave great advice on their use ! #1 is so important. I am just a guy in the pews but for me the expository commentaries are my favorite. Also running out of shelf space . They can be addictive ,in a good way . Great work on the video! Blessings

Great explanation, thanks so much.

God has commanded us to study and search the Scriptures and to keep His precepts diligently! 2 Tim. 2:15; John 5:39; Psalm 119:4. I highly recommend the Conflict of the Ages series by Ellen White which is a 5 volume set covering the entire Bible. Definitely don't knock it till you try it! Matthew Henry's commentary is also wonderful. It's available as an app for free. The Puritans used to read it by the fire daily mornings and evenings along with the Bible.

I love my NICNT/OT series!

Very helpful! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️

Thank you for this helpful video!

Great video.

Thank you! Very helpful

Which on an new beliver needs

Good video. I learned a lot.

Great explanation vedio here, good job, Question; (maybe a topic for a future vid) is there a way to study a word/ scripture In Greek or Hebrew piece-meal style the way you would looking up a word's foreign language interpretation using dictionary, app or software? I think I saw someone do it once but it went by so quick, Or is it necessary to learn Greek and Hebrew?

If there any commentary that you recommend for a new follower? Or one that your favourite?

I hope you'll be able to direct me a bit. I've been wanting to get some commentaries. But there's a ton out there. I'm using the NKJV and the ESV. Do you know of any good commentaries with those translations?

I'm just starting out studying the bible. I have a bible But just wondered what would be more useful to get first. A study bible or a commentary for the complete bible?

Thank you for this information, I have to really try to just read a book through on my own and then go back with commentaries. What do you think on life application bible or the kjv know the word.

good video bro🤘

Im looking for a (preferably single or double volume) commentary that focuses on exegetical and devotional aspects to compliment my IVP background commentaries. what would you recommend?

Would you consider the CCC as a reference? I wonder how flexible you would be when it comes to using different resources.

Sola scriptura not solo scriptura

Vernon McGee was an amazing Biblical educator. Keep your Ryrie, keep your silly MacArthur--get McGee and it'll serve what you need.

I find church bible study distraction especially if only have women bible study with giggling women that not reverence 😂 I prefer personal bible study
