4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad For One Volume Commentary, May 8, 2004

This review is from: Life in the Spirit New Testament Commentary (Hardcover)

This edition was retitled from the Full Life New Testament Commentary. It does represent the only classical Pentecostal single volume commentary available.

The commentary has many positives. For one, unlike the notes on the Life in the Spirit Study Bible, the notes found here are from various Pentecostal scholars. This helps avoid one man's views versus another. Further, the notes reflect firm convictions concerning the authority of Scripture, the inerrancy of Scripture, and a firm belief in the supernatural power of God.

The only draw back to the commentary is that it lacks a good expository outline of the New Testament books and uses the NIV for its main text. I would prefer a literal translation such as the NASB or NKJV (see my review of the Life in the Spirit Study Bible).
