Perhaps Dr. McGee's favorite phrase expressed best, his philosophy of teaching the Word of God: "...let me put the cookies on the bottom shelf, so the children can enjoy them too." This is a commentary everyone can enjoy! It is the much more useable version of his single book commentaries which ended up three feet long!First off, this commentary set is not exhaustive. It is easy to understand, full of practical illustrations, and does not cover every single verse of scripture. It is the compilation of the entire five-year "Thru the Bible" radio commentary put into print, and though it's not the first commentary I go to, it's the last one I'd part with!Years ago, I ordered every one of the 266 tapes that Dr. McGee broadcasts on "Thru the Bible". I'm proud to say that I've probably listened to the entire set three of four times. Like Dr. McGee, I believe Scripture profits us most when studied as a whole. So, when the transcribed commentary set came out, I had to have it--more as a reward to myself than as a set I would use often. (I do sometimes enjoy following the commentary as he teaches on radio!) The index is a tremendous help, and a MUST for organizing themes, illustrations, cross references, etc. In short, if you want a simple and practical explanation of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, this might well be your best first commentary set. Used along side a good study Bible such as the Zondervan Study Bible, or the MacArthur Study Bible (see my reviews), there is much to be learned. The commentary is not deep, but it's good, and best of all, he's right on track in the interpretation of God's Word. I loved Dr. McGee when he was alive, and appreciate him more now that he's gone. The best compliment I can give him is to say that this set will make you thirst for deeper involvement in the Scripture, and to know that his work makes us hungry for more would have warmed the heart of J. Vernon McGee. He was my hero.
