What is interpreter bible?

The Interpreter's Bible is a multi-volume commentary on the Christian Bible, published in the 1950s and 1960s. It was a collaborative effort by a team of scholars from various Christian denominations, aimed at providing a comprehensive and scholarly guide to the text of the Bible. The commentary was based on the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, which was considered to be a more accurate and reliable translation of the original texts than previous versions. The Interpreter's Bible includes in-depth analysis of each book of the Bible, including historical background, literary criticism, and theological interpretation. It also includes extensive footnotes referencing other works and scholars for further study. The Interpreter's Bible has been widely used by pastors, scholars, and laypeople for over half a century, and is still regarded as a valuable resource for those studying the Bible.
