Lectionary Studies New Testament Commentary Bibliography


New Testament Commentaries


      A bibliography of New Testament commentaries that may be referred to in the studies on the Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons site. This is not a recommended list of New Testament commantaries. Some you would not even lend to your worst enemy and some are now so dated as to be next to useless, but none-the-less may be cited, usually by the author's name. Some advance notice publications are included and are [bracketed]. For a recommended list of Biblical commentaries go to Select English Bible Commentaries.
