James Burton Coffman's commentaries are available online. I wonder if anyone with the skills would be able to convert these to a Bible commentary module? Coffman is a great source of info in that he kind of combines a lot of other commentaries into his work. Thanks.

I am not impressed with his works but knock yourself out.  "a lot of other commentaries into his work." I could be wrong but he did not really use solid works mostly handbooks. Also he was a music major not a NT/OT major or teacher.

I sent you a private message with a link to Coffman's Commentary along with a bunch of other hard to find esword modules.

I spoke with the copyright holders of the Coffman Commentaries (Abilene Christian University), and they would not give permission to make it publicly available in e-Sword format.  When I mentioned that they text is online, I was told that it was done during a previous regime there, and that it was a mistake--but one that they couldn't back out of.  They still sell the commentaries (which I've heard described as "if you want to know what everyone else thinks about a passage, read Coffman"), and don't want to hinder those sales any more.

Gary Gallant has this "Coffman (Copyrighted: used by permission)" therefore he has it or he is lying about it.   Abilene Christian University in their so-called copyright issues must determine this so.   Years ago a now closed christian book store was selling biblesoftware for .50 (50 cents) at a sidewalk sale but the cashier wanted 50% off the list price.  I told her to go talk to the woman outside.  After this she went to the manager who said $1 for each.  The cashier sold all to me for .50 because she already entered it in.  Same thing. ACU: Oh  could you cease and desist with the online versions so we can make money.  I read from a B-Greek member that Oxford, a decade or so ago, was claiming copyrights to BDB.  Everyone is looking for nickles and dimes to feed their budget.   They are not going to get that much from coffman.  GET A LIFE ACU!  The LORD redeemed us from such substances that cause delusions.  Someone attend their worship and blow a trumpet in the auditorium.  They need a rude awakening.

Just wondering if the Coffman Commentaries have been released to e-Sword or are available?

no, they haven't and if you read up further on the list, you'll see that the copyright holders have refused to allow it for e-Sword.

And on that note... Hate to say this - that's the way the cookie crumbles.
