A short annotated guide to commentaries on the books of the Old Testament, published by the Theological Students' Fellowship for students choosing which commentaries to use. Library records give the TSF edition as 1976 and a later edition in 1981. The survey was afterwards continued under other editors, Tremper Longman III's Old Testament Commentary Survey being the best-known successor.
