John F. Evans. A Guide to Biblical Commentaries and Reference Works, 11th Edition.
Evans currently teaches at Union School of Theology in Wales. He has had a long and varied career including eight years at the Africa International University in Nairobi, Kenya. This work is over 500 pages in print.
One chapter gives his recommendation for “The Ultimate Reference Library.” I agree with his choices. Most of us would choose a few volumes on each book. His main sections are in canonical order.
His “From the Author” section discusses his ministries, education, goals and his almost 30 years of work in this field.
During my 35 years as a seminary library director I have used his work to choose purchases and have often recommended earlier editions of the work. Most serving in academic institutions will need this and others should consult it as needed.
