The Gospel According to John I-XII (Anchor Bible Series, Vol. 29)

Raymond E. Brown

Anchor Bible, 1966

A solid, insightful and intelligent commentary.
Raymond Brown is an incredible scholar and has presented one of the finest commentaries written on the gospel according to John. Both introductory notes and main commentary are fluid and reveal significant insight. The book is an absolute pleasure to read regardless ...

Job (The Anchor Bible, Vol. 15)

Anchor Bible, 1965

This third edition of the Anchor Bible Book Of Job (Volume 15 in the series) contains numerous new, revised or augmented notes. Of special interest is the inclusion of readings from the earliest translation of the Book Of Job , the recently published Targum (Aramaic translation) recovered from Cave XI of Khirbet Qumran, in the Judean ...

The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, Vol. 2: Expansions of the Old Testament and Legends, Wisdom and ...

James H. Charlesworth

Anchor Bible, 1985

Clear, accessible presentation of non-canonical works
Some of the best literature, whether divinely inspired or not, has long been lost to the world, too often for political ends. Fortunately, volumes like this one, admirably edited by James H. Charlesworth, replenish much of what was "lost" between the time of the ...

The Gnostic Scriptures: A New Translation with Annotations and Introductions by (The Anchor Bible Reference ...

Bentley Layton

Anchor Bible, 1995

An Excellent Anthology of Gnostic Texts
While some have criticised this collection of Gnostic Scriptures, in my own experience Layton's translations of the texts and the accompanying notes are very useful. After all, how is the modern reader, removed by 1700 years from texts which were originally kept from ...

The Gospel According to John XIII-XXI (Anchor Bible, Vol 29, Part A)

Anchor Bible, 1970

Kudos for Brown.
Kudos for Brown. This is an outstanding addition to your theological library. Brown addresses the scholarly issues and at the same time, has superb insight to the text that preaches. No, it is not the easiest to read and use, but the best seldom are.

Reclaiming the Dead Sea Scrolls (Anchor Bible Reference Library)

Lawrence H. Schiffman

Anchor Bible, 1995

The first book to view the Dead Sea Scrolls as Judaic Texts
One of the greatest scholars of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Lawrence Schiffman, tries to correct the problem of 40 years of Christian reading into the Judaic texts found at Qumran. By exploring the Scrolls as a whole, as well as the main groups of Jews in ancient Israel, ...

A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus: The Roots of the Problem and the Person, Vol. 1

John P. Meier

Anchor Bible, 1991

Jesus of History, A Critical, Scholarly Examination
Why even bother trying to learn about the historical Jesus? Why try where so many others have given up or gotten bogged down in disagreement? In his great, academic book, Fr. John Meier recalls Plato: "The unexamined life is not worth living." For the Christian, ...

Mentor, Message, and Miracles (A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus, Volume 2)

John P. Meier

Anchor Bible, 1994

A New Elijah for the End of the World
Of the three volumes of John Meier's study of the historical Jesus, this is probably the most difficult for the average reader. Much of it consists of complex discussions of the historicity of various bible passages, considered in extensive and exhaustive detail. It is ...

Birth of the Messiah

Raymond E. Brown

Anchor Bible, 1999

Magisterial
I was reluctant when this tome about the infancy narratives had been recommended, and after the first chapter discovered this was no ordinary book. There are myriads of commentaries, but none like this! This book elaborates at length on the short gospel narratives of ...

Hebrews: A New Translation With Introduction and Commentary

Craig Koester

Anchor Bible, 2001

Good Commentary for Hebrews
Koester is consistent throughout the commentary and has in depth research to back up his conclusions. The technical scholar will enjoy the book because it has a notes section that deals with the Greek grammer and technical issues and then a comments section that takes ...

Companions and Competitors (A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus, Volume 3)

John P. Meier

Anchor Bible, 2001

Worth the effort.
Consistent with the overall quality of the Anchor Bible Series, the "Marginal Jew" series impresses with the depth, honesty, and objectivity of its scholarship. It may be that nobody is completely impartial when it comes to assessing the historical Jesus, but John ...

Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls (Anchor Bible Reference)

James H. Charlesworth

Anchor Bible, 1995

Good Dead Sea Scrolls Intoduction
This is a very good introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls. James Charlesworth is an amazing (and readable) scholar. I stumbled onto this while trying to learn more history about Jesus (reading David Flusser, N.T. Wright, Brad Young; didn't waste much time reading John ...

Acts of the Apostles (Anchor Bible)

Joseph A. Fitzmyer

Anchor Bible, 1998

Very Good Sequel to Fitzmyer's commentary on Luke
`The Acts of the Apostles' in the Anchor Bible series, by distinguished Jesuit scholar, Joseph Fitzmyer, is one of the better commentaries on Acts I have read (with the understanding that I have certainly not seen all those done in the last 25 years, especially the ...
