Dieudonne Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) I have the first edition of the Expository Bible Commentary Set (EBC) and I am considering to upgrade to the revised. In what ways is the revised edition better? Are the differences worth the $460 on the Accordance platform? Thanks Edited March 25, 2014 by Dieudonne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Francis Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 For me personally I would say no... It is a good revision but it is a high price. And admittedly you are not going to lose them but the original articles you have in volume 1 are not in the new set. Some items are virtually unchanged other books of the Bible are completely revised or replaced. I personally would try to save up a wee bit more money and buy Word Biblical Commentary: 58-volume set. ($599, but the 20% anniversary discount it would be down to $479). -Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia Falling Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I agree with Dan. I have both, but would not have paid full price for the upgrade – it was discounted when it was introduced. I have WBC-NT. A technical OT commentary isn't much help to me now because don't know any Hebrew yet, so I didn't buy the whole thing. I do like and use the NT volumes. I will admit to frustration in the sets that aren't complete at this time. Not Accordance's fault, since the 'missing' volumes haven't been published. But it seems that a lot of the sets I own are missing Luke, Acts or 1 Corinthians! Oh, well, I've got more than enough to keep me busy for a lifetime.
