5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite commentary series, May 10, 2002

Robert Hardman (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New International Commentary on the NEW Testament (18 Volume Set) (Hardcover)

This series combines some of the most exhaustive treatment of each book available with up-to-date scholarship and a generally evangelical point of view. Each volume is close to 1,000 pages, and the treatment is thorough. Most if not all commentaries were written or revised in the 90's or 2000's, and a knowledge of issues such as narrative theology, literary genre and rhetorical criticism are reflected in the text (unlike many other evangelical commentary series). If you are looking to invest in a more exhaustive series, this is the one to invest in .... ...

5.0 out of 5 stars The real learn the Word commentary set, January 10, 2007

This review is from: New International Commentary on the NEW Testament (18 Volume Set) (Hardcover)

There is simply no better commentary set that combines readability with scholarship. I have a dozen or so commentary sets (via Logos software), from the `Pillar's NT Commentary, `The New International Greek Testament Commentary, to the `Word Biblical Commentary,' even the `International Critical Commentary Series.' I only use the NICNT and the NICOT commentaries on a regular basis.

They are easy to read, don't require the reader to understand the original languages (as does ICC and WBC), and are excellently researched and scholarly. Frankly their insights and Holy Spirit inspiration are life changing. For example Gordon Fee's 1st Corinthian Commentary tackles the thorny and contradictory texts about woman in ministry. His answer, while controversial, cannot be dismissed, both because of Dr. Fee's credentials and his astute argumentation. Another volume, Dr. Mounce's commentary on Revelation, makes clear what so many other books either make incomprehensible with academic babble or trivial and imprisoned within a predetermined theology (such as pre-rapture dispensationalism).

These books use careful exegesis, are conservative in nature while giving room for the Holy Spirit. They are simply a delight to read. They are amazing. While other commentaries either get lost in the nuance of language or endless historical debate about a passage's meaning, these books find a balance in the subjects and their opinions. While writing on all the various sections a commentary must write about (author, history, canonical importance, etc.) the emphasis is learning and explaining the Word. What more could we ask of a commentary! This is a go-to commentary that will help the bible and its meaning come alive in your life. Rather than listening to many of the `fad' teachings of the day these books can be instrumental in finding out what scripture really has to say about things.

This review is from: New International Commentary on the NEW Testament (18 Volume Set) (Hardcover)

I just received this commentary set. As an annotation to the previous reviewer, and to help potential buyers, as of this date, the set does NOT include commentaries on Matthew, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, and Jude.
