Watson E. Mills and Richard F. Wilson, general editors

Volume five of the Mercer Commentary on the Bible comprises commentaries on the deuterocanonical/apocryphal books which Martin Luther called "useful and good for reading" yet did not consider of the same authority as Scripture. Volume five of the Mercer Commentary on the Bible includes commentaries from the critically acclaimed Mercer Commentary on the Bible and appropriate articles from the equally well-received Mercer Dictionary of the Bible. This convenient yet thorough edition is for the classroom and for anyone who wishes to focus study on these particular texts.

Watson E. Mills and Richard F. Wilson are professors of Christianity in the Roberts Department of Christianity at Mercer University. Mills is a New Testament scholar and graduate of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Baylor University. Wilson is a graduate of Mississippi College and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Praise for the Mercer Commentary and Dictionary

It is easy to criticize a one-volume commentary on the whole Bible for what it does not say. The Mercer Commentary on the Bible should be praised for how much it does say. Having all this information…makes it especially useful. The contributors write clearly…. They write for the church, laity as well as clergy. I am sure I will refer to this commentary often.

The special contribution of [the Mercer Dictionary of the Bible] is its thorough, up-to-date scholarship and large amount of information offered in just a single, inexpensive volume. A truly balanced, thorough, and useful reference work for both academic and public libraries. Especially recommended for undergraduates.
