Rigorous, up to date, and diverse, Eerdmans Critical Commentary has offered scholars exceptional biblical commentaries since 1999. Free of a specific confessional slant or ideological angle, ECC simply seeks to publish the best of contemporary Old and New Testament scholarship, aiming to give modern readers clear insight into the biblical text, including its background, its interpretation, and its application.

Contributors to ECC are among the foremost authorities in biblical scholarship worldwide. While they hail from a broad range of denominational backgrounds, authors remain sensitive to the original meaning of the text and its relevance for today.

Accessible to academics and serious general readers alike, these commentaries reflect the contributions of recent textual, philological, literary, historical, and archaeological inquiry, benefiting as well from cutting-edge methodological approaches. Although exposition is based on the original and cognate languages, English translations provide complete access to the discussion and interpretation of these primary sources. Each volume includes the author’s original translation, critical notes, and commentary on literary, historical, cultural, and theological aspects of the text
