Man Overboard!: The Story of Jonah

I’m a pastor in a non-denominational church and recently preached through Jonah. I had the opportunity to use a number of commentaries, which are listed below. I wanted to take a moment and share my experience with these resources because bestcommentaries.com has been so incredibly helpful for me. I hope my insights can guide you as well! Here are the commentaries, ranked in order of preference (which ones I would recommend purchasing first) and organized into three tiers. I also hope others will follow my example and share their experiences, too. - - - Must-Buys JoAnna Hoyt (EEC) James Bruckner (NIVAC) Joyce Baldwin (McComiskey Set) James D. Nogalski (NICOT) Bryan Estelle (GAOT) - - - Almost Must Buys Leslie Allen (NICOT) Daniel Timmer (NSBT) O. Palmer Robertson Douglas Stuart (WBC) - - - Potential Must-Buys Gordon Keddie (WCS) Kevin Youngblood (ZECOT) Alexander, Baker, Waltke (TOTC) Sinclair Ferguson - - -
