B&H completes Old Testament commentary

NASHVILLE — B&H Publishing Group has completed the 20-volume Holman Old Testament Commentary with the publication of 1 and 2 Samuel in June.

The commentary is a resource that encourages pastors, teachers and students to “engage with Scripture,” said Steve Bond, senior editorial director for Holman Bibles and Bible reference at B&H.

“The Bible is a vast book that was written over a span of 1,000 years by 40 different authors living in different cultures who spoke different languages,” Bond said. “The Holman Old Testament Commentary exegetes the text in such a way that it is applicable even in the 21st century.”

The commentary was a multiyear undertaking. The first volume, Daniel, was published in 2001.

The Old Testament commentary uses the New International Version because the commentary was under development before the Holman Christian Standard Bible existed.
