The series has produced over 100 titles since the release of the first volume in the early 1960's. Depending on the size and complexity of the book, some are covered in more than one volume. For each biblical book, the series includes an original translation with translational and text-critical notes overviews of the historical, critical, and literary evolution of the text an outline of major themes and topics a verse-by-verse commentary treatment of competing scholarly theories historical background and photographs, illustrations, and maps of artifacts and places associated with biblical figures and sites.

Having initiated a new era of cooperation in biblical research among scholars, over 1,000 scholars-representing Jewish, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, Muslim, secular, and other traditions-have now contributed to the project. The Anchor Bible Series, which consists of a commentary series, a Bible dictionary, and a reference library, is a scholarly and commercial co-venture which was begun in 1956, with the publication of individual volumes in the commentary series.
