When writing good Bible Studies, it can be tremendously helpful to look at a commentary on the passage you are studying. For example, it can be very helpful to read what Craig Blomberg said in his commentary on Matthew about Matthew 6:1-18. But which commentaries should you read? See below some links to some lists of recommended commentaries for each book of the Bible.

I started asking for commentaries for Christmas presents my senior year at Taylor and haven’t stopped since!
