Commentary on Hebrews

[ChristopherPaul]

I will be doing a careful study on Hebrews.

What commentary do you recommend?

John Owen & William Gouge are the best i think.

A.W. Pink, John Calvin, and John Owen.

Has anyone read F.F. Bruce's commentary?

Yes, I own it. I think it is pretty good, but not exactly "Reformed" in the TR sense.

Could you clarify that a bit more. How are his comments unbiblical?

I don't think his comments are unbiblical. He just approaches commentary from a more academic or scholastic standpoint, in my experience. In other words, he is not necessarily interested in explaining Scripture from a certain standpoint, but simply thoroughly explaining the nature of what is being said, the language used, etc. More detailed than someone like Matthew Poole or John Calvin, who would be considered more narrative in their commentary approach, I guess.

A.W. Pink's Commentary on Hebrews is requisite.

It is too darn thick! I can't fit it in my pocket.

In reading Bruce's preface to his commentary, he mentions that he used Calvin among other reformed commentators to help him.

Are John Owen and AW Pink "Reformed" in the TR sense?

The abridged version of Owens on Hebrews, [published by Kregels] is great if you can't obtain Owens multivolume treatment of Hebrews.
