Thanks
By "books and authors" do you mean that this sort of info would not come in a study Bible, but in a dedicated book?
Two points:
To commit to a particular annotated commentary wrt prophecy is going to provide a pretty narrowed view:
That may be fine - If you are a chunked-and-formed, right-down-the-middle dispensationalist, annotated commentaries from Darby and Scofield, (free download for e-Sword) will help you out... will provide that flavor... But the nature of an annotated commentary is to be a footnote. They tend to be rather abbreviated, skipping across the surface of a vast school of thought, and often assuming the student to have a working knowledge thereof - One would be better attended and intended, IMHO, to read Darby and Scofield, to gather the whole of their thoughts - But by that time, their complete works, being well referenced toward Bible, their annotated commentaries become rather superfluous.
And, in dedicating to one or two expositors (and getting a mere whiff of them as it is), One is committing one's Bible to their cause, rather than the other way around, as it should be. Having Darby, exclusive to your cause, what happens to the works of other brilliant expositors, such as Missler, whose exposition, in my opinion, will cause Darby to pale? To commit one doesn't necessarily omit the other, but very well could.
If one wants to study Jeffries, then study Jeffries. Inhale him fully, referring to your Bible as needed along the way. But one will grow weary of Jeffries... What then, if your Bible is built around his particular exposition? When one enjoins Perry later, what effect has Jeffries then?
It is in that vein that I recommend 'books and authors' - that their works be collated separate from your Bible. To ingrain one particular author into the very text is to sully the work, and will be of little substantive value in it's abbreviated form.
Instead, surround your Bible with tools - Comparative translations, concordances, dictionaries, atlases, collections of apocryphal books, and etcetera, and use it as a hammer AGAINST the particular expositor whose commentary you regard at the moment. That is what it is for.
