WBP is happy to offer chapter by chapter commentary, both classic and modern, with certain Bible reading plans, and in several languages. Commentaries are only available when using a "Chapter" duration. Currently WBP offers commentaries by two different authors: Matthew Henry and David Guzik.
"When David Guzik was a young pastor in Simi Valley, California, he (among many other pastors) was asked to send his teaching notes to the developers of a new internet Bible research site: Blue Letter Bible. In the late 1990’s, David’s material first appeared on the Blue Letter Bible, and was found to be a valuable resource." You can find much more information about David Guzik at the Enduring Word website.
Commentaries by David Guzik are available in the following languages:
Chapter by chapter commentaries are only available using the "chapter" durations with the following themes: 1 Book Deep Dive, Straight (Genesis to Revelation), Old Testament Only, New Testament Only, Psalms & Proverbs, Apostles & Paul, Old Testament Major and Minor Prophets, and Torah.
