====== Recommended Commentaries ======

Below are several good commentaries. The problem is that due to their size, the files are very hard to navigate. For this reason we recommend either downloading the files and browsing them on a PC or installing a Bible [[wiki:study tools|study tool]] such as Xiphos or eSword.

TL;DR John Gill and Matthew Henry are our go-to commentaries, but the others are certainly worth mentioning.
