New Updates to the Commentary Recommendation Lists

At the heart of this blog/website is a collection of book recommendation lists that I have been building for more than a decade.  I periodically draw attention to them, and they are always accessible by visiting the Book Rec's page.  I have recently updated many of the lists and corrected a few broken links.  All of the lists are now being stored in Google Docs and are free for public viewing/downloading.

While my aim in building these lists it to be comprehensive, I am constantly reminded of how impossible a task this is.  Nonetheless, this remains my goal.  The lists include more than just commentaries.  I have also added lists of recommended biographies and theological works.  In the future I will upload recommended works on Church History and Philosophy.  For now, the primary focus is on Biblical commentaries and supporting works.

One new feature that I am in the process of adding (out of necessity) is the division of commentaries by century.  Some of the lists have become so large, that it is difficult to get a sense of the progress of research over the centuries.  For this reason, I have begun dividing the Biblical commentaries by the century in which they were originally produced.  Thus far, I am about half way finished with this task.  In the meantime, here are links to the individual lists that have been uploaded.  As always, I'm interested in your feedback.  Thanks.
