Operation Commentary

Goal: To read--over a long period of time, no rush--a commentary for each and every book of the Bible. The goal is not to read an entire commentary set by a sole author, though if that is your personal goal, go for it. You may mix and match commentators. And combined commentaries are alright as well. For example, you often see commentaries group 1, 2, and 3 John, for example.
