Commentaries
Many of you have been asking about my “Commentaries Project.” I evaluate evangelical commentaries for every book of the Bible and select the one you should purchase first. The concept (and my rough drafts) have generated quite a bit of interest. Anyway, it is now complete. If I promised you a copy, e-mail me and I will send you one. If not, you will have to wait until a certain institution of theological instruction decides to publish it (or not). Please pray that they decide quickly.
I will say this….purchasing anything from Duane Garrett (OT), Daniel Block (OT), Peter O’Brien (NT), and especially D.A. Carson (NT) is a good bet.
In related news, I have told several of you to purchase the 12-volume Expositor’s Bible Commentary from CBD.com. I got the set for $100. It is now selling for $149. This is not the only commentary set you’ll ever need (you should still purchase my booklet of recommendations!), but it is very good for a small volume set and should be part of your ministerial library at this price.
