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 , now an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing .
Initially started in 1895, 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", "known for its detailed, critical, and theological interpretation" and "the gold standard of critical commentaries for the last century". 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. Many of its volumes continue to be cited as among the best commentaries on their respective books, decades after they were written.
The original editors of the series were Samuel Rolles Driver , Alfred A. Plummer and Charles Augustus Briggs . 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 . As of the 2020s, the editors are Stuart Weeks , Christopher M. Tuckett , and Jacqueline Vayntrub .
