This included over 800 public domain commentaries, which I have gradually been adding to <a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">biblicalstudies.org.uk<\/a>. It has not been necessary to scan all of these, as many are available on <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">archive.org<\/a>. However, as anyone who uses material from archive.org will know, the scans there vary widely in quality and I have had to re-process (in some cases, rescan) the books in order to produce copies of consistent quality. While this project is still on-going, with more being added each week, <a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">biblicalstudies.org.uk<\/a> now hosts over 1,000 commentaries. As physical copies of most are held in the Tyndale House library, one of the finest biblical studies libraries in the world, I can be confident that they will be of great help to today&#8217;s Bible Students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to make it easier to access the commentaries hosted on BiblicalStudies.org.uk I have added a new tab to the main menu, as described in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Finding Biblical Commentaries Quickly on BiblicalStudies.org.uk\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W79npxxi4D8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope that this material proves useful to you in your study of the Scriptures.
