Commentaries

“Every Baptist preacher and teacher should buy and read these books.” – Louis Entzminger in Studies in the New Testament Church

There are multiple printings by multiple publishers of Carroll’s “An Interpretation of the English Bible”. It was first published as a thirteen volume set in 1913 by Fleming H. Revell Company and the copyright was later acquired by Broadman Press in 1942. Four additional volumes were added by Broadman in 1948 that were not in the earlier editions by Revell or Broadman. I am indicating these added volumes by italicizing them under the seventeen volume set’s listing below. There are newer printings that combine the full set into six volumes.
