secular bible commentary?

I always get, "Jesus fulfills such and such scripture," and i always find the application of whatever "prophecy" they refer to to be within its context, in the vicinity of a few chapters. Once I rule out each prophecy's application to Jesus by showing its more specific application, then my creationist friends just pop up with a new one rather than being hindered. This week's is Isaiah 9 giving mention to where Jesus was to come from.
Anyway, are there any commentaries out there that don't take the christian (or skeptical) standpoint, but the secular?

that's the second time that book's been suggested for my needs, i'll go order it right now. thanks!

Hahaha! In almost all of my posts bugzaw responds and then there's a fistfight!
