What is a commentary? In a nutshell, it is a short treatise or explanation on a particular passage in the Bible. It can be homiletical, expository, or devotional in nature.

A homiletical commentary examines a passage in the context of the whole Bible. It can be helpful to the reader, the listener, or the speaker. It can also help the reader to better understand the meaning of a particular passage. A homiletical commentary provides the reader with information on the life of the Bible characters, their history, and the events in which they were involved.

A devotional commentary is designed for the spiritual development of the reader. It can help the reader to gain insight into the deep things of God. A devotional commentary is also an excellent aid for the speaker, as it can be used to help them to understand the meaning of their text and to apply the Word of God to their lives.
