Originally from here.
It turned out that they do. I woke up and went to the site store; and saw these:
1. Understanding the Bible Commentary Set by Dr. David Sorenson.
2. John R. Rice Commentaries Set (in the dream, I’m sure it was this).
3. Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible.
In an age of humanism, agnosticism, relativism, and deconstruction, its good to know there’s some solid absolute truth oriented Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) commentaries on the Bible out there. In an age where most Bible commentaries are hyper-academic, or focused on Greek and Hebrew vocab words to the absence of spirituality and growing your faith in the Bible, in an age where commentaries are always questioning the supernatural and the original manuscripts as actual Scripture, in an age where a watered down seeker-sensitive gospel is the context for commenting on Scripture, its good to know there’s hellfire, blood of Jesus, gospel preaching, young earth creation KJV commentaries that you know where to go to as a Bible believer. In this vein, I’d also be inclined to point out The MacArthur Bible Commentary (Thomas Nelson, 2005) and The MacArthur New Testament Commentary (Moody, 2006). According to a recent July 2024 article by Influence magazine, the Assembly of God outlet, today’s Pentecostal pastors are using The Tyndale Commentaries, The New International Commentary, The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, and Word Biblical Commentary. ALL FOUR OF THESE BIBLE COMMENTARIES TEACH THEISTIC EVOLUTION ON GENESIS 1. So it shouldn’t be hard to see why the seeker-sensitive gospel has crept into the Assembly of God: they’re using really bad Bible commentaries that don’t teach a literalistic faith-based approach to Bible interpretation. Instead those commentaries are probably full of historical naturalism, skepticism about miracles, unnecessary linguistic distractions and rabbit trails, and tons of archaeological nonsense that have absolutely nothing to do with growing your faith in Christ; and everything to do with questioning the truthfulness of Biblical reality. All of the bold commentaries above, along with the MacArthurs, all teach young earth creation on Genesis 1; as does Clarke’s Commentary, the old school Wesleyan Arminian Methodist commentary. Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, once published something called Commenting and Commentaries in 1876, in which he prioritized the following Bible commentaries, on pages 2-10, in this order: Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible (Hendrickson, 2014), Calvin’s Commentaries (Baker Books, 1974), Matthew Poole’s Commentary on the Holy Bible (Hendrickson, 1985), John Trapp’s A Commentary on the Old and New Testament (Soli Deo Gloria, 2022), John Gill’s Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (Baptist Standard Bearer, 2006) as the top Calvinist one, and Clarke’s Commentary (Schmul) as the top Wesleyan Arminian one. Answers in Genesis, the young earth creation ministry, also sells two study Bibles: The Henry Morris Study Bible and The MacArthur Study Bible. All of this thanks to a dream and a little bit of study! –J.B.
