The Zondervan Exegetical Commentary (ZECNT & ZECOT) is a notable resource, especially for pastors and Bible teachers.

While primarily designed for those with a basic knowledge of biblical languages, all who strive to have contextual understanding of the Bible and better communicate meaning will find these books beneficial. Masterful writing, critical scholarship, and meticulous organization allow readers to focus on the true message as it unfolds. There are many exegetical commentaries available; however, none accomplish what this series has achieved.
