Re: New International Greek Testament Commentary

In general, this is one of the better commentary series available today.
(Of course, different people have different perspectives on what makes a
good commentary.) The volumes I have used from this series are
evangelical in orientation, scholarly and useful. Like all series, some
volumes are stronger than others. The Marshall commentary on Luke I
beleive was the first in the set, and would now be a bit dated (from the
early 80''s, I believe). The Ellingworth commentary on Hebrews is a
strong volume; I found it very useful. I am not familiar with the
Revelation volume. It has been a few years since I used the Pastoral
volume. My experience is that there have not been many good
coomentaries in English on the Pastorals, and this is one of the better
volumes.
