These resources are much easier to read. Almost in a story format with multiple headings to locate specific passages. Easy to find an answer to a certain topic. Great pictures and sidebars as well.

Hello, Blessings and Peace. I own the set in question along with over 60 plus feet of expositories from Luther to Barnes and Spurgeon, Wesley etc. Though these books only supply the "information." They might not suffice the inquisitive mind. "One picture worth a thousand words." These volumes are beautiful with information from history timelines, maps, and pictures from the plows they used to Biblical landmarks. A must have, and at this cost; whew such a gift! Hope this helps; Rev. Ron

This set takes you verse-by-verse through the New Testament giving archaeological and cultural insight, as well as practical application. A commentary set presents an individual or individuals' opinion about what the Bible is saying to us in a specific book. A handbook covers Genesis through Revelation and gives general information on each book.

I found this set to be good for answering basic questions. It is not theology student level material. But I am glad I have it.

Yes, the commentary will offer a much more indepth and detailed understanding of the background of the New Testament in a book-by-book format while the study Bible only has brief articles and study notes throughout.
