Why we developed this application
Readers benefit from thoughtful commentary but need to know whose interpretation they are reading. The library was developed to make source-preserving classical commentary accessible without blurring the line between Scripture and explanation.
Who it serves
Bible teachers, congregations, research ministries, Christian schools and readers who want to compare commentary with the biblical text.
Features and Functionality
Browsable library
Explore published commentary by available source and biblical reference.
Source integrity
Preserve the identity and attribution of commentary material.
Public reading
Offer a website interface for reading and locating relevant commentary.
Scripture linking
Use the optional bridge to surface related commentary in Bible Reader and Prophecy Explorer.
Managed imports

How it works - from beginning to end
Choose a book or passage; find relevant published commentary; read the source and its explanation; return to Scripture to evaluate the observations; follow linked passages through companion applications where configured.
Currently available are commentaries by Charles Spurgeon (Verse Expositions of the Bible , The Treasury of David), John Gill (Exposition of the Bible), and Matthew Henry (Commentary on the Whole Bible).
