By h s bultmann (Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Word Biblical Commentary Vol. 40, 2 Corinthians (martin), 591pp (Hardcover)
What we get from this commentary by Ralph Martin is his usual detailed examination. The Greek text, theological issues, and history of interpretation are tackeled head-long. Yet two points seriously undermine Martin from getting the title as the best on 2 Corinthians. First, he is strangely dry. Only the most daring of book-worms will be able to read this work for a prolonged period of time. Seondly, (and most important) he often fails to convince and his mirror-reading (of the adverseries of the Corinthians)too often stains his exegesis. We are left wondering what happened to Martin? The author of such notable works as the 'Carmen Christi', falls far short than his usual clear, thought-provoking material. If you want a better critical commentary seek M.E Thrall' multi-volumed works in the ICC series. For a better conservative read seek Paul Barnett in the NICNT.H.S Bultmann.

In my opinion, easily the best commentary available to students of the Bible out in the open market. A must-have for any seminary student or doctoral student. Word Biblical is well-respected among critical scholarship, and come highly recommended by me.
