5.0 out of 5 stars very good and comprehensive with a dispensationalist slant., July 22, 2000

This review is from: The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures by Dallas Seminary Faculty [New Testament Edition] (Hardcover)

the reader may well recognize the authors as professors at dallas theological seminary; walvoord has written multiple books and is considered one of the foremost dispensationalist theologians today (perhaps carrying the torch of chafer). this is a 2 volums set which covers the entire bible, although not in great detail. it is definitely written from an evangelical point of view - that is, the inspiration and inerrancy of the bible is at the foundation of all interpretation (contrast this with the new jerome commentary which is purely historical-critical). nonetheless, this work is the product of sound scholarship and the work of men with expansive knowledge and insight. this is ideal for sunday school classes and personal study; it might be a little thin for use in theology classes.

This review is from: The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures by Dallas Seminary Faculty [New Testament Edition] (Hardcover)

This commentary was written by faculty members of the Dallas Theological Seminary. Although written from a Dispensational perspective, it fairly presents all major views on the New Testament Text. It is like having the lecture notes for a dozen New Testament courses printed out.
