Philip Schaff is best known for being the editor of Lange’s Commentary and the History of the Christian Church.
In the introduction, Schaff describes this commentary as Evangelical, interdenominational, and explanatory. Comparing Lange’s Commentary with this one, Schaff notes that Lange’s Commentary was written for scholars and academics, while this commentary was written for laymen.
Familiar and trustworthy authors like Marcus Dods,William B. Pope, Edward H. Plumptre, andPhilip Schaff wrote this commentary (see below for the complete list of contributors). Built around solid exegesis with practical application, nearly every verse in the New Testament has a comment. Knowledge of Greek and Hebrew is not needed for this commentary. A few books, like Acts, delve into the Greek but enough is explained so the average reader can understand.
Because the commentary is interdenominational, Schaff strives to present differing arguments fairly and clearly, such as eschatology: preterism and premillennial.
Schaff also focuses on clearly and succinctly making his points. For example, a note in Hebrews says:
"In this last dispensation God is said to speak to us in His Son. The Son is the medium of the revelation. As revealer He has as His associates, the apostles. But this office of Christ is quite subordinate. His true character is that He is Himself the revelation. To know God and His Son Jesus Christ is eternal life. God in Christ, Christ as God,—redeeming, renewing, sanctifying,—is the saving doctrine of the Gospel."
Schaff embraces the Authorized Version. He is not afraid to critique the translation, sometimes offering his “better” substitutes and providing depth where the A.V. is inadequate. He also occasionally mentions the Revised Version, targums, and other manuscripts. (Note: Schaff served on the committee that produced the American Standard Version.)In the preface, Schaff says, the Bible is of “divine origin and character…It is now more extensively studied than ever before…It is inexhaustible. It never grows old, but increases in interest and value as time flows on. Human books have their day, but ‘the Word of the Lord endureth forever.’” — If only Schaff could have seen the Internet to know how true his words have become!
