I personally prefer the 1984 NIV translation over this 2011 "update". The 1984 NIV made some changes shifting verses to the "footnotes" which is okay to me as I know better. Be careful as you read this version. I'd have another translation like the NASB 1995 or the NKJV handy for comparison unless you can use the Greek. Then go that route.

Before reading my review, I need to let you know I prefer depth in commentaries. When I see phrases like "section by section" that is a clue that these are not deep but more of an overview. When I was saved back in the 1980's I purchased what was available of these in paper and was happy with them. As I grew in the Lord and Bible study, these books turned into being more like an "appetizer". I prefer "verse by verse" commentaries because I like to get into the original language for more than one or two words in a "section" of scripture. If you are looking for something easy to read that is more of an overview, then these may be great for you! I have other commentaries that are not verse by verse that I fall back on when needed to look at the whole. I enjoyed my time in Tyndale, but when I purchased Logos back in the early 1990's, I did not buy any ebooks from this commentary set. I kept my paper ones of Tyndale for about 5 more years then gave them away.

Normally I like books by John Phillips! What I don't like about this book is that there is NO table of contents at the beginning of this book. You scroll down to chapter 1 to find the name of the character. Then you must scroll down a number of pages to learn who is the 2nd character. Then you have to keep scrolling to "hunt down" each chapter to learn who is the character Phillips teaches about! How is one supposed to know what content is in a book without a Table of Contents? I DO NOT recommend buying either the OT or NT Bible Character Books! I bought them on prepub but I'm going to contact Logos about returning them when they open next week!

I own a few Watchman Nee books. They are all GREAT and Well Written! I haver not looked at or own this Logos version.

Why aren't the 6 volumes in this set listed in the description above? How is one to know what they are buying??

I've owned this book in paper format since the mid 1980's. One of my go to tools for OT word studies!

I own the paper copy of this book and recommend it for use in bible study. Must more content than the smaller Vincent OT Word study book. I was excited to see this come out on Logos Community Price list! I HIGHLY recommend prebuying now as it will cost much more when the book moves to pre pub!
