I particularly like the phrase “internet-assembled philosophy.”

There certainly seemed to me to be a lot of truthiness to the sketch for both sides.

HAHA Tim! David Tsumura (NICOT) on 1 Samuel is great. I did enjoy the New American Commentaries of Paul House (Kings) and and Robert Bergen (Samuel). Joyce Baldwin always seems to write with a simplicity of depth and insight (TOTC on Samuel) and Don Wiseman’s work in the TOTC series is also helpful (Kings). Iain Provan in the NIBCOT for Kings may also prove useful (I’ve enjoyed several of his works).

I seem to remember a Konkel writing an excellent commentary on Kings.

Hey Jeremy: Exegetical with a view to preaching (as opposed to the textual minutae that excite only the most scholarly). E.g., if I have to pick between Word and NICOT, I should go with. . . .

So are you looking for exegetical commentaries or devotional commentaries. I have dozens of both in my library if you preferr holding aa book in your hands to reading a computer screen. I will take a look when I get into my office…but you are more than welcome to borrow any books I have.

Mary Douglas on Leviticus.
Samuel Balentine Torah’s Vision of Worship
Anything by Terence Fretheim.
The first two are not commentaries strictly speaking but have opened the Torah up in pretty profound ways from my perspective.

Just tracked down Ben Myers’ blog at http://www.faith-theology.com/ You’ll find some odd things without the hyphen!

Thanks Dustin! I just wish I could afford Ashgate titles.

I really enjoyed this talk, Tim. Of course, you are preaching to the choir with me… but I appreciated how you introduced the world of theology. Your comments about the emergence of Anglican theology was particularly encouraging. Nice work. Oh, and thanks for mentioning Ashgate
