International Critical Commentary Old Testament | ICC (29 vols.)
Overview
The International Critical Commentary, published by T&T Clark International, has long held a special place among works on the Bible. It brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis: linguistic and textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological, with a comprehensiveness and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series. This set includes all of the International Critical Commentaries on the Old Testament.
The ICC series has also been rather difficult to purchase in its entirety, due in part to the cost of the print volumes, numerous revisions of various volumes, and the fact that most retailers do not offer the entire set as one purchase. The Logos edition contains the most recent edition of each title and provides an easy way to own every volume of this often-cited commentary set.
If you were to purchase all 28 volumes in print at suggested retail price, the cost would be over $1,500.00. The Logos edition provides a substantial discount and presents the content in a more flexible medium than print!
This series is under the editorship of Professor J. A. Emerton of Cambridge, Professor C. E. B. Cranfield of Durham and Professor G. N. Stanton of Cambridge.

Value for money in the incredible scholarship in the volumes I have (the ones that have been while live AND then on sale during the past about two and a half Years) is five stars, all of them - excellent value for money whether You acquired them like I did, for very near regular price individually or You are acquiring them on this ongoing 40% off the sets sale May 2019. But the lack of any Apocrypha volumes, the fact that this is not my preferred platform (I've committed to buy ONLY at A-company - they have the public domain NT-volumes affordably), the sheer number of pages in some of the volumes excessive in and conserned minute detail, and the lack of Catholic scholarship, is three stars - because those things are not negatives to all buyers; and the weighed rating is therefore four stars. Value for me personally would be A+ because I don't have any nearly complete more recent or as scholarly technical OT-sets under Verbum. That is - if I still find enough in these to motivate me to even use Verbum for the technical matters of the OT altogether - my library is fairly extensive and broad and I have the competing software platform. I contemplating whether I even need to complement at all in this area. The natural or obvious lack of integration between software platforms is a two and a half stars and really drawback rating for me. Being on the fence for two and a half more days the rating as per whether I should by is a balanced three and a half stars for me personally. My upgrade price is $266.76 - that would give me Isaiah 1-5, 56-66 and while I'm not an Isa specialist those are a major draw for me, as well as the purchase would give me the Daniel volume from 1936 which would give me a very important historical scholarship perspective. There are more volumes I don't have and the underlying prices are near what I would pay anyway for the quality. Just the question whether I should abandon building with technical commentaries and completely other books that I neither want to support FL with nor that are core to on whay I plunk done the big money on phase-by-phase. There are a lot of volumes I still don't have, I really don't own most off the ICC set anywhere. My NT set upgrade price is about 64% off regular price but I have more than half of the NT in reality considering my A-company holding too. My alternative option is to get only the ONE volume from somewhere in the ICC set that I don't have under Verbum WHICH I think is an absoiute necessity, it's from 1891, and to ignore the aforementioned ones possible to buy and not upgrade at all. The NT set I MIGHT someday temporarily want through Vebum Cloud Premium $50 a Month - subscribing 2 or 3 dispersed Months sometime many Years from now would be somewhat realistic and OK on the disappointment/excitemeny scale, but for that I'd really condition myself to have a co-author by then. Anyone want to co-author with me? Email me on mikael.c.608 @ stud.ths ///DOT/// one of Northern Europe's three biggesy countries topdomain for what it's about! One of the things is a list of what all things NOT to buy or own at all during an entire lifetime! What do You think I should do - are the volumes I mentioned in the beginning and the remaining OT public domain titles worth it for me or better to library-build in my other venue hencefort with the lack of unavailability that remains? Comment or contact on this, please! Thanks (I want to reach also divorced men who build large libraries! For You I'll include at least three various chapters in my book.)
