2.    Follow the guidelines under "Types of Commentaries" in the Explanation of Commentaries page, answering the five questions regarding the selected commentary series.

The sources of information for answering these questions are varied. The GWU library will contain copies of many of these commentary series. Go to the library and personally examine a copy. The publisher's explanation of the series in the front cover may provide significant information. Tracking down the series according to the publisher's internet URL will be a major source of information. Some theological journals will contain review articles on commentary series. GWU students should learn to use NC Live through the Dover Library as a means of gaining access to the full text articles of many of these journals.

Use Commentary Series page examples to gain insights into what I'm seeking. Some of the listings are virtually completed and may serve as a guide.
