Anchor Bible Series

The Anchor Bible Series is a scholarly and commercial co-venture that has been setting a high standard since 1956, when individual volumes of the series began publication. Each volume covers all, or a portion, of one or more books of the Old Testament, the New Testament or the Apocrypha. The volumes contain in-depth introductions and commentaries, complemented by original translations; many have full critical notes that include alternate readings and alternative translations. Synopses of informed discussion of the historical origins and the manuscripts' traditions are also provided. These volumes are not designed for the casual Bible reader, but for the educated layman who is already prepared with a general understanding of and interest in modern biblical scholarship, although a foreword to the volumes asserts that "no special formal training in biblical studies" is needed to comprehend the content.
