The World Of the Text (also known as World Within the Text) helps you to understand the Biblical text.

• gives general information, a brief overview

Multi-volume commentary

• many books shelved side-by-side cover entire Bible
• gives more specific information than the single volume commentary and less specific than the book length commentary

Book length commentary

• gives highly specific and detailed information
