Enduring Word Commentary Reviews

So I was originally excited to start using EnduringWordCommentary to study the word even deeper, but after reading John 14 and then using this to dive deeper into the word and see what this had to say I was instantly taking back on what was written. For example for commentary on the verse when Jesus says “No one comes to the Father except through Me.” EnduringWordCommentary has a comment under that saying “ Jesus made this remarkable statement, claiming that He was the only way to God.”
Claiming?!?! Why if you are a believer writing this, why would you say Jesus “claimed,” something as if there is a possibility that Jesus isn’t actually telling or speaking the very truth?!? This was just one example that the many times through the whole chapter the commentary said Jesus “claims” something rather then saying Jesus “said” or “told” us something. A lot of the commentary almost seems as if the writer and creator isn’t even sure if what Jesus said is truly the word of God. I have never giving a written review for any app but I am so sorry I just feel like I can’t even trust using this as a reference for when studying something in the Bible that I’m unfamiliar with or anything in general because the writer honestly doesn’t seem to have written things out in a way that would come off as a true believer in the words of Jesus.

I’m so thankful the Pastor David Guzik’s Bible commentary is now available as an app. Throughout years of preaching, David kept meticulous notes on the Scriptures he discussed. In recent years he completed the entire Bible and offered them free on line. A pastor at our church introduced me to his commentary and it’s been an essential part of my Bible reading for nearly a decade. Thorough, cross-referenced, understandable and uncompromising yet loving, Enduring Word is the best commentary I have found. Yes, EnduringWordCommentary has some technical areas for improvement which I’m sure he’ll fix (keep in mind it’s essentially a one-person operation). But it’s much more important for the content to be out there for mobile devices.

Enduring Word is a fascinating commentary with precise and accurate Biblical exegesis. It has grown me rapidly in my understanding of the Bible and even in my willingness to live for Christ. EnduringWordCommentary has also helped me tremendously in teaching and preparing Bible studies as I grow in my knowledge of Scripture. I would highly recommend Enduring Word if you want a commentary that holds true to the testimony of Scripture, despite the world’s opposition to the Word of God. In a world that opposes and does not know who the true God is, it is absolutely necessary that we understand what the Bible says about God, and what it says about man. EnduringWordCommentary will help you with just that. Enduring Word will be a blessing to your walk with Jesus Christ, as it has been mine.

This is so great! I love his contextual insights & quotes from other Christian leaders. It would be so cool if there was a separate version of EnduringWordCommentary with commentary on the Book of Mormon & rest of the standard works! 😉The one problem for me is the navigation doesn’t quite work. When I’m on a chapter commentary, and I click ➡️or⬅️the screen goes blank and I can’t see anything. I’m in the dark mode of EnduringWordCommentary so maybe it has smth to do with that? 🤷🏻‍♀️If y’all could fix that it would be super great! Thanks so much for making this as a great app and free. I love the insight it brings to my Bible study. ☺️😄

I’ve been referring to Pastor Guzik’s commentary for a little over a year now. The Lord has used him to deepen our relationship and my spiritual insight of the Word. I’m so excited that he has made an app for us, and free! Wow!
The bookmark tool is great for quick reference. The only suggestion I’d make is to add a highlighting and underlining feature, as well as a note feature on what is highlighted, in order that we may be able to note our thoughts and further commentary within EnduringWordCommentary .
Thank you so much Pastor Guzik! God bless you!

Great commentary. It has been my go to commentary for years. Two questions/ feature requests:

1. It would be great to add the function where EnduringWordCommentary would open to the same page of commentary that was last read. Is this possible?

2. I’m a missionary/pastor serving and training leaders in Ukraine. I’d love it if this was available in the Russian or Ukrainian language. It is difficult to find good commentary resources for Russian speaking Expositors of the Word.

Soooo pleased God gave Pastor Guzik the resources to create an app for this commentary! Enduring Word has been such a blessing over my life and has really helped me learn to read the Bible correctly. Downloaded it the other day and I love having access to it all the time now. I do recommend to fix the sensitive that comes with swiping when you’re on a chapter; it jumps from chapter to chapter when I just want to swipe down to another verse. Other than that, I love EnduringWordCommentary so far. I have always recommended Enduring Word to so many people, and will more now that there is an awesome app for it!

EnduringWordCommentary is extremely convenient. I have used This commentary for many years, perhaps almost the entire time it has been offered online so an app is just an added convenience. There are basically 2 go to commentaries for me, this is one of them, though I do refer to others. Both are thorough and in language easy to understand. Additionally, Guzik refers to other scholars and early church practice and leaders, “fathers.”
Thank you for EnduringWordCommentary, as it enriches my study and ministry.

I have been following this teaching for some time now, I’m talking years. I’m not taking credit for EnduringWordCommentary, but suggested it because I enjoyed the website so much and today I find that it has happened, the only drawback is you can’t touch a scripture and a window open referencing that scripture. So to all of my brothers and sisters in CHRIST that follow this teaching and prayed for this, aren’t you glad that GOD LISTEN ANSWERS PRAYERS. This is my go to for teaching Sunday school and studying of GODS WORD.

Love the website but not EnduringWordCommentary as much. These are minor complaints. It’s only viewed in Landscape mode, the writing is smaller than online and you have to get out of each book go to the apps home page scroll for the book then scroll to the chapter. Would be nice to just have a next button. Also EnduringWordCommentary would be amazing if it could be viewed without cellular data or WiFi. Anyways these are minor complaints. I love enduring word and it’s helped me to understand the OT more than ever before!

These commentaries on every chapter I wanna read are so well written and helpful. Reading the Bible alone is sometimes confusing but EnduringWordCommentary REALLY helps me a lot! You guys definitely helped me get closer to God’s word... everything is so easy for me to understand. 100% recommend to anyone, whether you’re just starting your walk with God or struggling in your walk. Trust in Jesus! THANK YOU Enduring Word & God bless :)

Moving from one chapter to next happens too quickly. It’s so sensitive that I have to carefully scroll down as to not go to next or previous chapter. Please fix this. Other than that it is a great commentary.

Edit: they seemed to have fixed it by adding arrows, but took me a while to figure that they changed how the New Testament and Old Testament were split.

I absolutely love the Enduring Word website and use it almost every day, so I was really excited to discover that there was an app. However EnduringWordCommentary crashes every single time I try to open it - I never get past the logo screen. And I’ve been trying to open it for months. I even deleted and re-downloaded EnduringWordCommentary . Am I the only one having this problem? Is there a solution? I would really love to use EnduringWordCommentary . I’m not even sure what kind of star rating to give... 😬

I found EnduringWordCommentary from the Enduring Word website. I’m so thankful to have this commentary available on my phone, and I think the audio versions (which are available on the website and I believe BLB as well) would be a great addition. Thank you for your faithfulness to God’s Word!

Out of all the apps I have used for both personal and ministry use, EnduringWordCommentary blows everyone out of the water. EnduringWordCommentary allows you to easily have the Bible scriptures and a great commentary all in one view. This makes it so much easier to read on the small screen of my phone.

Definitely happy I found EnduringWordCommentary and I plan to support them as well.

I’m so thankful that EnduringWordCommentary came out. I LOVE this commentary app!! But it is a little frustrating because when I scroll, I have to be very mindful or I change the chapter. It’s very sensitive. I will be scrolling down and all of a sudden I’m in the next chapter or the one before and I lose my place. Maybe some arrows would be better? I truly am so grateful for enduring word though. I love it so much I use it any way but it would be great not to have to focus on the chapter changing so easily

Love EnduringWordCommentary so much. It’s helped me to better understand the Bible in context, not only culturally and historically, but in light of Jesus. The only thing I think could make EnduringWordCommentary even better is if the text had an audio reading feature so that I can listen in the car! Love it overall though!!!

I started using this to assist in my Bible studies. I wanted to go more in depth and have some extra info to note take with.
I found EnduringWordCommentary has such an easy interface and the layout is very streamlined. The amount of info and info itself is fantastic.
I highly suggest you use EnduringWordCommentary.

This is amazing for a Christian college student that does not have money to blow on commentaries. I am eternally grateful to Pastor David and his team. I am learning so much, and EnduringWordCommentary is not glitchy or buggy!

As a suggestion, I think the ability to highlight and annotate would be absolutely fantastic. But seeing as to how EnduringWordCommentary is free, that’s asking for s lot.

Thank you!

I have read this commentary online for well over a year and was so excited that it is available in app form. I cannot stress how great a help is has been to me. When I look at hard copies of commentaries, I wish for this format and style. Thank you so much.

David Guzik’s commentary is awesome. I’m so glad they finally have an app so I don’t have to use my browser to look up passages anymore. This is a wonderful and complete commentary that offers life application and great insight on the history behind the passages. Been using his commentary for ten years and it’s the best.

As far as David Guzik commentary is concerned i really like him, but very disappointed in EnduringWordCommentary itself. You have to start all over every time, so you have to either remember where you are at or write it down! Not enjoy EnduringWordCommentary at all!!!
Also, it’s way too touchy, when I scroll down, if you don’t have your hand on the page guiding it it flips to the next chapter then have to start all over again. Very frustrating!!!

I enjoy this resource and find it helpful. I use it regularly. As mentioned the apps could use some improvements. Along with some of the other improvements mentioned in other reviews the ability to highlight and make notes would be great. At least highlight with hold and swipe. Thanks for EnduringWordCommentary

I’ve used this commentary for over a year now and have loved it. Recently it just stopped working. I’ve tried over and over to download EnduringWordCommentary with no luck. Hope it gets fixed soon because it was so helpful!

I had downloaded EnduringWordCommentary about 6 months ago and enjoyed it, but the swiping feature to go from chapter to chapter was so annoying. Now they changed that and it is much more clean look! The commentary is very well done!

EnduringWordCommentary has been a great blessing for studying the Bible.

It is however very glitchy and sensitive to the slightest touch. For instance when you are reading a chapter it will often suddenly go back to the previous chapter, even if you are just scrolling down to read.

Really enjoying it nonetheless
