I purchased this commentary set as part of the Logos 8 Anglican Legacy Library. I am disappointed to find that it doesn't index as a commentary. This series cannot be prioritized as a resource. Volumes can only be opened from the library section. I am hoping that the staff will see this message and the similar message from another person on here and look in to fixing this issue. Thanks.

Oddly, these commentaries are not indexed under either "The Bible Speaks Today", or "BST". The only way to get them to come up in a search, is to put type:commentary subject:message of. I manually tagged them with BST to make them easier to find. While I don't have a great deal of experience with these commentaries yet, I did review the comments on 1 Peter 3 and 1 Timothy 2:11-15. Passages that deal with the roles of men and women are usually a pretty good barometer of whether the commentary is going to be faithful to the word of God, or cave in to worldly culture and political correctness. Both volumes were spot on, accepting what the passages clearly teach, and rejecting the feminist, politically correct revision that seeks to erase any distinction between male and female roles. The 1 Corinthians volume was a little troubling in how it interpreted 14:34-35. After citing the Scripture that says, "Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church", it immediately concludes, "Whatever this section is teaching, it is not telling women to keep quiet in church". It then basically ignores the text, and formulates it's interpretation from what other passages say, without finding any convincing harmony between the two. I find that a bit troubling, hence the four stars.
