Circulating Commentaries

Most of the Commentaries in the library's collection do circulate (can be checked out) and are located on the third floor of the library, starting with BS. You can search the library's collection through LancerQuest using a subject or keyword search:

Subject search su:Bible Mark Commentaries

Keyword search Mark Commentaries

Using a subject search should result in more relevant or accurate results. You will retrieve more results with a keyword search, since the computer will be looking for individual words anywhere in the record. For example, Mark could be the name of an author or book title and be nothing about the book of Mark.

Commentary Sets

Commentaries provide an exposition of Scripture, usually verse-by-verse, by one or more authors. Most commentaries are on individual books of the Bible, but some commentaries cover the entire Bible. Listed below are some of the commentary sets available in the reference section of the Morgan Library.
