Since you all were so helpful in responding to my last post, I'll trust you to help me out again. I've decided to try and leave behind the 19th century and take a big step by entering into the 20th century technical world. I am wanting to gain access to a website/ministry that allows the viewing of a "good" and broad range of bible commentaries. Any suggestions or advise is appreciated.

I use three online versions, depending on what I am looking for in my search.
If I want to look at the Greek/Hebrew, I use blueletterbible.com, there are also some good commentaries loaded there and a good concordance.
For general reading, I use biblegateway.com. There are also some good study tools there.
For a good parallel bible, I use bible.cc
These are the top three I use online. There are a few others that I go to for more specialized tasks, or just to be different sometimes. I also have several bible tools on my iPhone and iPad that I use.
Hope this helps. Hope to see some other good references.

I don't think this is exactly what you are looking for, but I am not aware of any "good" commentaries that are online. If you want good ones you'll likely have to pay for them either in print or digital. I frequently find textweek.com to be helpful.

Eric, and Billie, have a pretty sound group of commentary - study helps in my library. Just wondered if many of these resources were readily available online, as I've discovered I'm not at my office-library as much as in years gone by, and thus don't have them within reach as often as I'd like. Thanks

The sites I listed do provide some commentaries. Bible.cc probably has the easiest accessed commentaries, but not sure it is the largest grouping. They are available on the sites. Are you looking for a specific commentary or commentaries?
