Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges is a biblical commentary set published in 56 volumes by Cambridge University Press from 1878 to 1918. Many volumes went through multiple reprintings, while some volumes were also revised, usually by another author, from 1908 to 1918. Early volumes used the Authorised Version as the base text. Later volumes, and several of the revised editions, instead used the Revised Version, which had appeared in three stages 1881-1894.

Anglican bishop John Perowne was the general editor, with A. F. Kirkpatrick the editor for the Old Testament and Apocrypha, and Reginald St John Parry for the New Testament. The first section published was written by theologian Edward Hayes Plumptre in 1878 and covered the Epistle of St. James; the last volumes to appear, in 1918, were Deuteronomy by Sir George Adam Smith, and the revised edition of Joshua by George Albert Cooke.

The editors exercised limited editorial control over the writers of individual commentaries. Perowne stated that his aim was "to leave each contributor to the unfettered exercise of his own judgment".[1]
