An Edifying Collection

This collection consists of a short commentary for each book of the Bible, written by a variety of long-dead preachers and theologians ranging from John Calvin to John Wesley. The diversity of contributors means disputes can be found throughout, and no one could possibly agree with every view set forth. But the book as a whole is edifying and quite useful. It must be noted that much of the book's content is already available online for free -- the (many) commentaries by Wesley and by Matthew Henry, for instance, along with the Jamieson/Fausett/Brown commentaries. But not all of it is online -- J.C. Ryle's commentary on Luke is wonderful, and (so far as I know) not easily located elsewhere. Before you buy this book, review the table of contents and compare it with what's available online and in your personal library.
