International Critical Commentary

The International critical commentary on the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments (International Critical Commentary or ICC) is a series of commentaries in English on the text of the Old Testament and New Testament. It has been published by T&T Clark,^[1] now an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing.^[2][3]

Initially started in 1895,^[4] the International Critical Commentary series is a highly regarded academic-level commentary on the Bible. The ICC is described as "a venerable institution in biblical study and interpretation",^[4] "known for its detailed, critical, and theological interpretation"^[4] and "the gold standard of critical commentaries for the last century".^[5] It aims to marshall all available aids to exegesis: linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological. No unifying scheme is sought but each scholar has been free to express their expertise.^[3][6] Many of its volumes are continue to be cited as among the best commentaries on their respective books, decades after they were written.^[7][8][9][5]

The original editors of the series were Samuel Rolles Driver, Alfred A. Plummer and Charles Augustus Briggs.^[4][10] The series has been in the hands of various editors since. A new series began with C. E. B. Cranfield's commentary on Romans in 1975 under the editorship of Cranfield, John Emerton and Graham Stanton.^[4] As of the 2020s, the editors are Stuart Weeks, Christopher M. Tuckett, and Jacqueline Vayntrub.^[11][3][12]
