Thank you Stephen. Looks good! On a vaguely related theme, I have just read John Barton's The Word. A relatively easy read, quite entertaining in places, on Bible translation. He comments on quite a wide range of translations and particularly interesting was his referencing the Grail Psalms. He missed Dr Nyland's The Source, which I thought a pity, but in a book that size can only quote a few interesting examples/comparisons. Anyway, I found it an enjoyable read and quite an eye-opener on the enormous difficulties facing anyone trying to translate (almost?) any book in the OT and NT into English.

Thanks. The Lord bless you

Thank you,Pastor. Continued Blessings 🌹⭐🔥⭐🌹

How does it differ from the general 'Genre' sections found in any standard commentary introduction?

Very good, but now you’ll have to do a video on Jeannine K Brown’s new book on embedded genres in the NT. The task is never ending 😊

How did I not know that Michael Bird was a Calvinist?! 🤷

Pastor Steve, what do you make of the new perspective of Paul?

That William Lane Craig book cover looks strikingly similar to Dominion by Tom Holland as I recall. (I don't own either however.)

As far as I'm concerned, one can never go wrong with any commentary by Ben Witherington or David deSilva.

I love that you highlighted Klyne Snodgrass as a recommended volume. I recently discovered his work, and have started his book on identity called "Who God Says You Are"; it's amazing!

I think the bulk of those Abington commentaries are fun little volumes.

Does O'Brien have ANY commentaries that have not been pulled from print??

So both of O'Brien's commentaries were pulled? Was there suspected plagiarism in each of them?

Do you like David deSilva? I'm currently reading his book "Transformation" and really enjoying it.

I like Scot McKnight, but sometimes I think he comes across as a bit "liberal".

Pastor Steve, are you a fan of Michael Heiser?

I love finding some of these commentaries at my local used book stores. The thing that always bothers me though is when they have tons of highlighting and writing in them. Unless it's dirt cheap (or extremely rare) I just can't bring myself to buy a used book like that.

I really like the NICT commentaries. Since they're only "semi-technical", those of us who don't know Greek can get much benefit from them. Definitely one of my favorite series so far.

This is becoming my favorite channel to check out before buying. After watching this I just ordered Fee's commentary. I 've been reading Osborne and enjoying it much! The other day I was searching for Exodus commentary and bumbed into a great deal for Stuart's. Then checked your review and found it on the top! That sealed the deal. Your decades of reading and willingness to share your insights is soooo helpful and saves heaps of our time and even money!! Heartfelt thanks Pastor!!

Awesome video. I go to a church in Jacksonville Florida and we are very mixed bunch ha. But yes there are some churches that seem segregated but they would never say that is on purpose. Things are changing though.

Blessings,Pastor. Thank you for your excellent work.🌹🌞🔥🌞🌹Loved hearing about your congregation.

Im skeptical because the theory of hermenutics had a critical (marxist) turn. The critical lens (through critical race theory or feminist theory etc) is actually not good hermeneutics becaise it ignores the author. To say x is antiracist lands squarely in the Ibram x Kendi marxism. The author didnt write as a native american - they wrote as jewish 1st century ( really second temple jewish liturature) to read it with any other lens is to distort it. The bible never affirms the Darwinian/Rousseauian concepts of race. Its using a modern prerspective and reading that back into the text, its anachronistic in its premise. Critical reinterpretation is a major problem in todays church.

Sounds really interesting! Great to see different places encouraging reading from a wide range of views because, like you say, none of us get it completely right. As long as it's not just diversity for diversity's sake... And it sounds like this isn't. Real substance is what we like to read! Another great video, thanks 🎉

Here in the United States we can’t even get along with ourselves much less anyone from different ethnic groups.

👍

I’m glad someone else mentioned Marshall in the ICC series - done with Phillip Towner. Otherwise, a very comprehensive list.

I.H Marshall in the ICC is incredible, we have so many riches on the PE!

Great discussion! I have Mounce on Logos Bible Software

You mention buying these books. I picture you standing in line at an cornerfront store with a basket full of books. Odd thing is, I have never once seen a store that sells commentary’s or monographs, or dictionaries or lexicons. I don’t even know what ide type into google maps to search for stores that sell these books. But cudo’s for having a talent for finding all these books.

Brilliant! Thanks

I notice you're very keen on the New Beacon Bible Commentary series in general. It rarely gets mentioned elsewhere in top commentary recommendations. In fact I can't remember it appearing in anyone else's lists. What makes you like the series so much? Is it a particular theological viewpoint?

A friend of mine interacts with Bill Mounce fairly regularly and asked him for me if there was a chance of his commentary being updated and it seems that the publisher has no current plans, but Dr. Mounce has wanted to do it for years.

Great list, thanks!!! Again, you picked a really interesting verse to compare. Thanks for the time and effort you put into these 🎉

Also the new nivac 1 volume commentary came out. Its basically a concise version of the whole series. Would love to hear your opinion

Love this. Thanks pastor. What book are you preaching through now?

New video! 🎉🎉🎉

Although I consult many other authors, Keener is always my FIRST go-to scholar. He is truly a blessing to biblical scholarship.

Pastor, in systematic theology, we can break your 30 year rule, especially if they’re seminal thinkers like Austin Farrar! I have enjoyed his earlier, more thematic study of Revelation: The Rebirth of Images.

Thanks for this! Always interesting to see who CS Lewis surrounded himself with. Great to see some solid theology we can rely on and build upon - thanks for drawing our attention to him!

Thank you Reverend. Haven’t read anything by Farrer, but appreciate knowing about him

Can I download this book in free is there any free site

My top 3 are Seifrid, Garland and Harris. Continue the great work. Steve

I love Murphy-O’Connor on 2 Corinthians too! Because the Greek of 2 Corinthians is some of the most difficult in the NT, you really need a large commentary like Harris. An excellent small commentary is James W. Thompson, Preaching Second Corinthians. He says this on 3:7-11: “Despite the appearances of Paul’s ministry, with its pain and suffering, it is the ministry of the spirit that is more glorious than that of Moses. Although Paul has no shining face as a sign of glory, he recognizes the paradoxical glory of his ministry of weakness.”

Well done Stephen

Thank you so much. Great coverage. Dr. Witherington told me he has no plans to update and revise his commentary on Acts so I would cautiously assume that this would be true of this volume as well.

Thanks, Pastor! What do you think about the BECNT series on this? Personally, I find the WBC series by Martin to be very good.

Thanks sir

Thanks as always my brother

Thanks, Pastor! Really interesting to hear the different commentators on the one verse. What made you choose that verse in particular? Very helpful video thank you!
