A Good Catholic Old Testament Commentary

[AnalogJoe]

Hi everyone, I am looking for a good OT Catholic Commentary. I already have the New Jerome Bible Commentary and I like it, but its too academic, I want something more doctrinal, for example, I own Lapide's Commentary but thats only on the Gospels, I also own the Catena Aurea and Paul's epistles commentary by Aquinas but I can't find anything like that on the OT, except for Aquina's commentary on the book of Job.

I have many good NT commentaries, but not OT. I also don't want to spend $100 on a single 800 page commentary on only 9 chapters of a single book of the OT.

I would like a compilation, one to five books max, I prefer an abridged commentary rather than those which cover everything including the type of grass that grew back in 1500 BC Palestine.

Also prefer something more traditional and in full agreement with Catholic doctrine, rather than the more modern "neutral" commentaries.

Both English and Spanish options are welcome!

You might want to consider writing to a Catholic seminary if they have some recommendations. Your priest might know who would be good to reach out to.
