4.0 out of 5 stars Good solid guide through Luke, July 27, 2010

This review is from: Luke (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries (IVP Numbered)) (Paperback)

Many years ago, I read this commentary cover-to-cover. I had some good introductory knowledge of the Bible at the time, and I can remember that this commentary filled my brain with a ton of great facts and information on Luke's gospel, and cleared up many tricky passages.

Morris' commentary cannot compete with the more recent, larger commentaries because this series has much briefer volumes. But don't let its size fool you. It has some good insights in it. If you have some of the bigger commentaries (e.g., Bock, Marshall, Fitzmyer, Green, Plummer, Nolland, Stein, Ellis, etc.), you will probably won't need this.

However, if you are a casual reader of the Bible, or you are a small group Bible study leader, you will find that this gives you excellent information of a historical, cultural, and linguistic nature so you can better understand Luke's gospel.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good solid introductory level commentary, March 23, 2006

This review is from: Luke (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries) (Paperback)

To appreciate this commentary, and we should, one needs to understand the purpose in writing it. Tyndale designed this series of commentaries to be a solid introductory level commentary to encourage and enlighten the average layperson as they begin to truly study the Bible as opposed to just reading it.

This commentary more than adequately fills the role it was designed to. I am using it with a men's discipleship group I lead as an adjunct to the series I am preaching in the church I pastor. The men have continually been positively motivated and encouraged by Dr. Morris' scholarship.

I would recommend this commentary for those who are interested in becoming students of God's word. It is an excellent introductory commmentary to aid in your study.

3.0 out of 5 stars A standard TNTC work., December 17, 1999

By 

Rick Aguirre - See all my reviews

This review is from: Luke (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries) (Paperback)

Dr Morris, once again delivers what we have come to expect from the TNTC series, namely not that much. While this work is a good introductory commentary for the first time Luke reader, serious readers need apply elsewhere.

Morris sometimes skips over whole textual and or theological discussions with a wave of a hand.

Please, first look in your used book section for this one. For a more comprehensive study on Luke, get D.L Bock in the BECNT series, or J.A Fitymer in the Anchor Bible series.
