Looking for a commentary?  Check out bestcommentaries.com.  This blog lists the “2 best” commentaries per biblical book as well as major commentary series and even forthcoming commentaries.  The blog is authored by a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary so this certainly colors the commentaries that are grouped in the “2 best” section (the commentaries that make the list are based on a score from other scholars’ bibliographies).  However, the list does often include very solid academic commentaries by non-Evangelicals such as those written by Jack Sasson and Michael Fox.

Taking a look at the forthcoming commentaries list has further solidified my desire to not write a commentary.  What the heck–who’s not writing a commentary?  Check it out.
