Hermeneia, published by Augsburg Fortress, is a "critical and historical commentary" which strives to "lay bare the ancient meaning" of the text without imposing any particular "systematic-theological perspective." It includes all 43 volumes currently available in print, including commentaries on the Old and New Testaments, as well as extrabiblical texts like 1 Enoch and the Apostolic Fathers.
The New American Commentary, published by Broadman & Holman, delivers scholarly exposition in a form which is easy to understand. It includes all 38 volumes currently available in print, including seven previously unavailable in electronic form.
"These two commentaries are highly acclaimed and each cater to very different needs," explains David Lang, OakTree's Vice President of Development. "Hermeneia is a technical commentary aimed at scholars, teachers, and students who need a detailed exploration of the original languages and Ancient Near Eastern culture. The New American Commentary is aimed at ministers and Bible students who want sound exposition of the Biblical text which is clear and easy to understand."
The complete set of Hermeneia costs $2650 in print, but the Accordance edition can be purchased on CD-ROM for just $1200—a savings of nearly 55%.
The New American Commentary has a print value of $1100, but the Accordance edition of the entire series costs just $599. For those who don't need the entire series, portions of the series can be purchased at a lower cost.
