No Accordance Library can be truly complete without the Anchor Yale Bible Commentary! Widely recognized as the flagship of American biblical scholarship, with a tradition of excellence and commitment to advancing biblical understanding in the 21st century, the Anchor Yale Bible Commentary, under the direction of General Editor John J. Collins, vigorously pursues the goal of bringing to a wide audience the most important new ideas, the latest research findings, and the clearest possible analysis of the Bible.
Decades in the making and now in a massive 90-volume collection, the Anchor Yale Bible Commentary is near completion in its coverage of the Old Testament, Intertestamental Books, and New Testament. Contributors come from Jewish, Catholic and Protestant backgrounds, but the project itself is not sponsored by any ecclesiastical organization and does not reflect the theological perspective of any particular faith tradition.

the new Anchor commentary on Revelation by Craig R. Koester.
The Anchor Yale Bible is committed to producing commentaries in the tradition established half a century ago by the founders of the series, William Foxwell Albright and David Noel Freedman. It aims to present the best contemporary scholarship in a way that is accessible not only to scholars but also to the educated nonspecialist. Its approach is grounded in exact translation of the ancient languages and an appreciation of the historical and cultural context in which the biblical books were written supplemented by insights from modern methods, such as sociological and literary criticism.
