John Piper has been preaching through John at Bethlehem Baptist over the last few months. He was asked the question recently, ‘What commentaries are you using?’ Here is his response:

Note a few things:

  1. How deeply passionate he is about the commentaries reflections upon the text
  2. How great he finds different ‘windows’ and ‘perspectives’ from different authors
  3. His own thoughts and wrestling with the text and the questions he has before approaching a commentary

A great example on the use and place of commentaries in preaching :)
