Hints:
- You may need to look at several commentaries to find one or more that is appropriate for your research question.
- You may want to look at commentaries for a whole book or chapter, even if your question is about a specific verse.
- You may need to use Interlibrary Loan if the Five Colleges do not own a copy of the article or book that you need. Click on "SCL Check for Full Text" to link to the Interlibrary Loan service.
