Among the apostles, God’s redemptive work appears most dramatically in the life of Paul. Redeemed and transformed, Paul becomes an apostle who not only established churches throughout the ancient world, but who was also used by God to author much of what would become the New Testament. Understanding the exegetical and theological issues of Paul’s letters represents an important part of any Christian’s study.
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.

Since the folks at Logos read the comments...I just purchased the LRC, and I am studying Romans 12, I immediately noticed that the link at 12:3 for the NICNT must refer to the first edition. I recently purchased the 2nd edition but the link for Moo is locked. It is a little annoying too to see the locked resources even though I have Logos 8 Portfolio! But nothing to be done about that unless I pay more $$. Overall, I am still glad I got the LRC for Paul's Letters.

I have just completed a third volume of this series, and I find these books are very good and even though I have a lot of the resources that are referenced I have found that I do not need to pull them up at all. These books are excellent commentaries!!!

This is information density gone crazy. The books are not really books, they are a walk though of a biblical book by way of hundreds of references to other resources. The amount of effort gone into these must have been massive but these guides are a brilliant example of how Logos can be utilised by the developers to give us access to the knowledge stored in our libraries. In a way it remind me of mobile Ed. mobile ed has a video lecture with several readings while these guides have no videos but hundreds if not thousands of links. Well done FaithlifeC.J. Scott

According to this blog post published today http://blog.logos.com/2012/11/lexham-bible-guides-pauls-letters-collection/ this collection has a 44% discount if pre ordered today which would be approximately $299.57... so I'm pre ordering this today in the hope that this will be honoured. Looks like an amazing collection I remember seeing part of the collection featured on The Resurgence last year and i thought it was great.
