Fred, I was actually debating in my own mind the very question to which you allude, as to whether Jobes or Grudem should be on there. As to the fact that she's a woman, I have never had a problem with that, since, in my mind, it is no different reading a commentary written by a woman than it is having a conversation with a woman knowledgeable in Greek and Hebrew. One does not have to believe what she wrote. Would you then have a problem with all the (Joyce) Baldwin commentaries I recommended? I found Jobes more helpful than Grudem, especially on the spirits in prison passage, where she takes (rightly, in my mind) Dalton's approach, and Grudem does not.
Carlos, I deeply appreciated Candlish on Genesis when I was preaching on Genesis, and would warmly recommend it. However, I was seeking to restrict myself primarily to commentaries that were in print. To my knowledge, Candlish is not in print. Maybe I am wrong about that.
