REL 543 (S. Barton)

To find commentaries on a specific book of the Bible, go the advanced search page of Pepperdine's library catalog. Choose "subject" from the drop-down menu and enter these search terms, substituting the name of the book you need:

Bible.Commentaries Mark

To find commentaries in a particular series or by a particular publisher, add a "keyword" search for the series name or publisher name to your "subject" search from above. Here is a sample:

su:(Bible.Commentaries Mark) AND kw:("New Collegeville Bible Commentary")

Or if you just want to see the available commentaries from a particular publisher or in a particular series (not limited to a particular book of the Bible) enter your "subject" search and "keyword" search terms in this way, substituting the name of the publisher or series you would like to find:

su:(Bible.Commentaries) AND kw:("Eerdmans")

Another helpful search might be to search by subject and by series name, substituting the name of the series you would like to find:

su:(Bible.Commentaries) AND se:(Belief)

Or to search by series name, simply try the following search, substituting the name of the series you would like to find:

se:(The Story of God Bible Commentary)
