Leading the honor roll of one-volume commentaries on the Bible is the classic by Jamieson, Fausset & Brown. Here is a real storehouse of information and commentary on every book of Scripture. Highly recommended by Charles Spurgeon, JFB is the standard conservative-evangelical work.

Volume 1 (of 4) The Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary refers to a biblical commentary entitled a Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, prepared by Robert Jamieson, Andrew Robert Fausset and David Brown and published in 1871; and derived works from this initial publication, in differing numbers of volumes and abridgements. The commentary uses the King James Version of the Bible as its text.
