A Needed Commentary,
This review is from: Luke (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament) (2 Volumes) (Hardcover)
I'm preaching a series on Luke, and purchased this commentary after finding the other "must-haves" helpful, but repeatedly coming up short. Yes, Marshall is amazingly dense and heady. Yes, Fitzmyer is typically attentive to detail. Yes, Nolland has a lot to say. But like most reviewers of such books, as a pastor with only so much time, I'm looking for a book that will answer/help me think through my questions - or more importantly, the questions of my congregation.Bock has written three commentaries on Luke. The massive (2,000+ pages!) BECNT volume is probably the "must-have" of the three (though his NIVAC is also very good), and the best commentary (at least for preaching) currently available on Luke. He deals with technical issues with great clarity, and offers some application thoughts (rare for a more technical series). While we might still be waiting for that single commentary that is both deep and practical (Bruner's "Christbook/Churchbook" on Matthew comes to mind), in the meantime, a combination of Bock's BECNT and NIVAC will more than suffice. |
