Book Description

Black's New Testament Commentary October 1, 1993
Since its appearance nearly 35 years ago, Black's New Testament Commentary Series has been hailed by both scholars and pastors for its insightful interpretations and reliable commentary. Each book in the series includes: an insightful introduction to the important historical, literary, and theological issues; key terms and phrases from the translation highlighted in the commentary where they are discussed; explanations of special Greek or foreign terms; references to important primary and secondary literature; and a Scripture index.

"This is undoubtedly one of the best commentaries in the Black's New Testament series. The style is clear and the attitude positive. Furthermore, with only nine chapters upon which to comment, Canon Kelly has room for adequate discussion of problem passages. It is a commentary every theological student ought to have on his [sic] shelf."
—Scottish Journal of Theology

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Great erudition lightly carried, precise attention to detail which always illuminates and never obscures the argument, clarity of treatment even when the subject is itself confused, and an infectious enthusiasm for the task of decoding an ancient and well-loved text."

3.0 out of 5 stars Good semi-technical work, February 26, 2005
This review is from: The Epistles of Peter and of Jude (Hardcover)
This commentary is not as deep going as Bauckhams, but that is not the aim of the series either. This is a good commentary for the average reader who does not know greek. It is very readable and Kelly argues his case in a pleasant way. Another (and perhaps better)commentary in the same league would be Greens in the Tyndale series, who also assumes Petrine authorship, which Kelly does not.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 31, 2002
By 
This review is from: The Epistles of Peter and of Jude (Hardcover)
The late Dr. Kelly is one of my all time favorite authors in the field of Church History (_Dictionary of Popes_, _Golden Mouth_, _Jerome_), but this foray into Biblical Studies, is quite disappointing. Dr. Kelly merely retreads tired interpretations of what are three of the most overlooked but most interesting of the New Testament epistles. The inclusion of 1 Peter with 2 Peter & Jude is highly dubious as well. For really interesting writing on Jude & 2 Peter, I would suggest E. Earle Ellis' or Richard Bauckham's work. There are many excellent commentaries on 1 Peter, too many to list. I guess even brilliant authors have their off days.
