Commentaries

Great resources for choosing from the many options in commentaries as you study through the Bible. There's not enough time to read them all or squander time with the mediocre, so you've got to read the best.  Many years -- often a lifetime -- of mature analysis, meditation, and reflection on the Scriptures are at hand here.

Best Commentaries - John Dyer's most comprehensive, go-to site.
Ligonier Top Five - Keith Mathison's top 5 list.
Green Baggins - Lane Keister's recommendations in order.
Mongergism - John Hendryx's reformed resources list.
Denver Journal - choose the OT or NT annotated bibliography.
Tim Challies - ongoing blog series alternating OT and NT
