I've been surprised by some of the volumes that have replaced well-reviewed commentaries from reputable authors. If you are in ministry, don't forget that Moo wrote the Roman's volume in the NIVAC series.
Great video. Appreciate your work. Have you had much interaction with the ESV Expository Commentary series? I know their final volume (volume 1) is due out within the next several months. I’d love to hear your thoughts or see a video on this series. Thanks!
Hi Caleb, yes, Crossway sent me a few volumes when they came out. The set has some great authors and looks like a great resource. I think it "suffers" from a few things: (1) the cover design -- unfortunately that's a factor these days, (2) having multiple biblical books in the same hardback is debatable unless they release individual books on Kindle, (3) the content isn't thorough. For example, I was sent the last volume in the series and I think it covers nine NT books in 800 pages. Now, 2 and 3 John may not need much space, but Hebrews and Revelation get about 200 pages each. The authors of those two books, Dennis Johnson and Thomas Schreiner, are great. I've interviewed both of them and recommend them. But who is benefitting from 200 pages? Pastors? Maybe. Laypeople? More likely. Question: If you wanted Schreiner's work on Revelation, would you rather pay $50 for the last volume in this series or $50 on Shreiner's (upcoming) Revelation volume in the BECNT series? I think most pastors would choose that latter, which is going to be about 1,000 pages.
Hey great video as always. 2 Things: I think the NIV Application One Volume Commentary may just be an addition of the OT to the NT. I have the one volume of the NT but there never was an OT Companion to that volume. 2) Can you find out when the Ephesians volume in the New American Commentary will be released? I’ve been wanting to get it but there is no information on a release I can find. Thanks for the good work and again glad you are back
I have read parts of two of the four-volume edition. There is a massive amount of footnotes. Despite the title, the focus of the set is on the socio-cultural setting of Acts. I can't remember if Keener told me, or I read in a journal, that he didn't like the subtitle "exegetical," but the publisher preferred it.
Have you reviewed any commentaries written by Catholics/from a Catholic perspective, such as the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series from Baker Academic? If not would you be open to doing this? Love the videos!
Hi Dave, are you asking when I'll have it and show it? If so, Spring 2024. That said, the content is already reviewed because it's just an abridged version of the volumes already in print.
I would love to know about the remaining volumes in the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series. They are still missing: Judges, Psalms, Isaiah 40-66, and John.
I don't know about release dates for those volumes. It's interesting the publisher committed to including CD-Roms because I don't know if it's worth it to include those these days.
@@BestBibleCommentaries Agreed. When the volumes were first being released (2000, I think) that seemed like a relevant and even innovative thing to do. But twenty three years later, I don't even own a computer with a CD-ROM option. :)
Review Biblical theology by Köstenberger/Goswell. Important book !
Great informations! And also a lot of new names.
Guess it's time to snatch the Romans commentary by Dr. Moo since that might go out of print pretty soon.

What ? Why it should be out of print ?

I would love to hear the difference between the one volume and four volume Act Craig Keener commentaries. In particular for the lay person. Thank you!

Galatians/Ephesians in the (tote) will be very interesting

Any idea when Keener’s Mark commentary (in the ICC series) is coming out?
No, sorry, I don't know the date.

I saw a two volume commentary is coming out for revelation by Dr Kenneth Gentry should be interesting.
Oh, interesting. I think he's postmillennial.
@@BestBibleCommentaries yea a postmilinial preterist it’s gonna be 2k pages or so
Do you have any idea when the revelation commentary will be finished in the pntc? Thank you
Sadly, I don't. I tried to get an update on it recently but to no avail.
@@BestBibleCommentaries I appreciate you trying anyway thank you
What about exodus in the christian standard commentary
Have you heard anything about the WBC Mark part 2 commentary?
The second volume on Mark was written by Craig Evans and published about five years ago.
Are these commentators reformed
Some are and some aren't
Hi, there is a mixture of Reformed and non-Reformed.
