Common questions
Is this Bible commentary free?
Yes. Background and commentary for all 66 books are free to read here, with no account and no email. In the Protos app the same commentary sits verse by verse beside the text.
What does a Bible commentary tell you?
Who wrote the book, when, to whom, and what they were dealing with, then what the text is doing as it goes. It is the context a passage assumes you already have and most of us do not.
Which commentary is this?
Tyndale Open Study Notes, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, for 65 of the 66 books. Judges is the exception and uses Jamieson, Fausset and Brown (1871), which is public domain. Protos compiles the figures on each page and the people and places it lists, keeping same-name figures apart.
