Dr. Alan5 Stars Out Of 5January 19, 2009Dr. AlanThis book was out of print for years. In November of 2008, Kregel began publishing it again. While it was out of print, used copies of this paperback were selling on the internet for $400! A new copy for $27 from CBD is a very good deal. Many years ago, the title was The Student's Commentary.I believe this to be the best complete Bible commentary in existence. I am not the only one who thinks highly of it. This is the only commentary recommended by TV Bible-teacher Les Feldick and the late Pastor C. R. Stam (author of Things That Differ and many others, brother of Chinese missionary martyr John Stam, and founder of Berean Bible Society). It is very precise, distinguishing well the things of Israel from the things of the church the body of Christ. Some today would call this a "mid-Acts dispensational" view of Scripture.Whatever you call it, Williams did a wonderful job of illuminating Scripture by the light of Scripture, exegeting difficult passages and of making sense out of passages that often elicit confusion. One could comb through and find points of disagreement, but such is the nature of Bible commentary.This is a technical, detailed commentary for the serious student. It is not a watered-down, broad-brush type of commentary. It's too bad it doesn't come in hardback.

MichaelIndian Trail, NCAge: 55-65Gender: Male5 Stars Out Of 5Great Bible CommentaryJune 11, 2022MichaelIndian Trail, NCAge: 55-65Gender: MaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5"The Complete Bible Commentary" by George Williams is a great read for anyone looking for a one volume commentary. Indeed, any commentary recommended by Billy Graham has to be considered! I recently used this commentary to help me prepare for a Sunday School lesson on 1 Kings 11 - Solomon's many wives and concubine and God's eventual judgement. After using this commentary to prepare for the lesson and reading more parts of the commentary, here's my comments:
- Get past the archaic language (originally it was written many years ago) and you will read many good spiritual nuggets that as relevant today as it was when Williams and during biblical times.
- Good introduction to each biblical book.
- Seems to be well-grounded in the author's respect for the Bible.
- While not every individual verses are addressed, most seem to be summarized.
- Does go deeper than some other commentaries seem to go.
While one may not agree with all of the author's comments, those who are true believers in Jesus Christ will greatly appreciate the author's insights. Recommended and will be often used in the future. I was given a copy by Kregel in exchange for a fair review and appreciate the opportunity. -
