Lexham Research Commentaries: Genesis Collection (2 vols.)
Digital Logos Edition
Jumpstart Your Research
From creation to the last patriarch, this collection enables you to interpret some of the most difficult and important passages in the Bible.
The Lexham Research Commentary is your starting point for study and research. Each volume gives you the tools you need to find answers quickly. This commentary is designed to do the time-consuming work of searching through commentaries, journal articles, and monographs to find the information you need, saving you valuable time by curating all of the best literature in one place—it’s a commentary on the commentaries. The annotated notes on the various viewpoints and interpretive options within the text allow you to quickly synthesize a broad range of views on a particular passage. Dense, jargon-filled research is distilled into easy-to-understand comments. As you critically study the text, the contextual notes help you place the passage within the narrow context of the biblical book and the broader context of the entire canon.
The Lexham Research Commentaries were formerly known as the Lexham Bible Guides.

I like the Lexham Bible Guide concept. Unfortunately 3/4 resources it links to I don't have in my library. This means this resource comes across as another attempt by Logos to get me to purchase more books. If they built a system that first linked the resources I already have, and then suggested a few for purchase that I don't already own, I would like that much better. For example, when it links to a dictionaries for "The Sabbath" topic in Genesis 1:1-2:3, it first links to three dictionaries I don't own (Dictionary of Biblical Imagery, Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch, and New Dictionary of Biblical Theology). It links to one resource I do own, The New American Commentary: Genesis 1-11:26, but it misses out on linking to other dictionaries I already own that have articles on the Sabbath (Easton's Bible Dictionary, Harper's Bible Dictionary, Eerdmans Bible Dictionary, etc.). The work around is to just go look at the topic in your own resources you pull up manually. Logos, please consider re-working this product so that it first helps me use the resources I already own before offering new products for me to purchase. I'm giving it 3/5 stars because although it is useful and a nice introduction, it's not as helpful as it could be, and as I already stated, feels like a sales pitch.
