Commentaries
A commentary is a verse by verse, or passage by passage explanation of the whole Bible or of a particular biblical book. Some biblical commentaries include the biblical text while others simply provide the reference to the verse or passage. They are helpful in getting scholarly opinion about the meaning of scriptural passages or verses.
