The commentary line

Sixteen volumes, written where they are read.

The South Asia Bible Commentary is a one-volume commentary on the whole Bible by 91 evangelical scholars from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh — including most of the Langham Scholars in the region — edited by South Asian biblical scholars. The Hindi edition took about thirty translators three and a half years, and a further eighteen months of language and theological editing.

Asia Bible Commentary
