Category Description for Bible/Commentaries

The Bible was written long ago, over the course of many centuries. The customs and languages and history it contains can be unfamiliar or even strange to the modern reader. Commentaries attempt to bridge this knowledge gap. Commentaries explain the meaning of the text of the Bible, and are typically organized by book, chapter, and verse.
