Zerr Bible Commentary Vol. 1 Genesis - Ruth

Originally published between 1947-1955, this six-volume Bible commentary covers both Old and New Testaments. In the years between delivery of this first sermon on July 3, 1897, and his last on October 25, 1959, Brother Zerr preached about 8,000 sermons, from California to Connecticut, and from Washington to Arizona.

If brethren somehow could be made acquainted with Brother Zerr's Bible Commentary, it is possible that it could be as widely used as has been Johnson's Notes, first published in 1889. Brother Zerr printed very little of the Bible text in his commentary. He assumed you would have your own Bible nearby. To have printed in the commentary the entire Bible would have required at least three other volumes. While it would have been helpful to have the Bible text printed by the comments, this unnecessary luxury would have been very expensive, since we all have copies of the Scriptures already. Furthermore, Brother Zerr intended that one be compelled to use his Bible, in order that his commentary never supplant the Sacred text. Volume I covers Genesis through Ruth.
