Logos Talk’s Recommended Commentary Series highlights some favorite commentaries by Logos academics and the user community.
We Want to Hear from You!
Each week we will post a forum thread asking which commentaries, available from Logos, are your favorites for a specific book in the Bible. This is a great opportunity to let other Logos users know which commentaries you have found valuable in your studies.

I’m a long-term Logos user and will not use my registration email address for something like this. I highly recommend The Literary Development of John 12-17, A Chiastic Reading, by Wayne Brouwer. Until one understands the literary style, he falls short on interpretation.

I always find John MacArthur’s briefer commentaries informational and educational for understanding of languages, cultures and histories… Because he believes application is obvious in the text/interpretation, it saves much reading (and distraction) when trying to stay close to the text. Mind you, I enjoy appication as well, but Pastor MacArthur is a quick and thorough read for days I can’t lounge and delve into my devotions.
God Bless
sorry phillip, I wasn’t paying attention… you said “registration”… I used my old spam-filled email that I no longer read… I’m with you!!!!
… Don’t like to use my real name, either… not for you posters, but for the (God bless them) hacker fiends. I’d remove and repost, but I don’t see that option here… or am I missing something?
