Luke (2 Volume Set) (Baker Exegetical Commentary On The New Testament Series)

This informative, balanced commentary includes extensive introductory notes and a comprehensive discussion of the text. An outstanding addition to any library.

Endorsements:
“This excellent commentary on the Lucan Gospel is massive, but well written, informative, and judicious. . . . It should be a boon for pastors, priests, seminarians, and all educated general readers interested in the interpretation of the Gospels. Bock has read widely, asks the right questions, and gives a balanced answer in his interpretation of this Gospel.”--Joseph A. Fitzmyer, S.J. (Catholic University of America)

“Its comprehensive discussions of the text and its judicious references to contemporary scholarship ensure that both the seminary student and the mature scholar find helpful and fresh material to enhance their understanding of the Gospel.”--I. Howard Marshall (University of Aberdeen)

“Each section of the text is addressed from a clearly organized series of perspectives: overview, sources and historicity, translation, exegesis and exposition, summary, and additional notes. If there is such a thing as a user-friendly two-volume commentary on a single book, this is it!”--Craig L. Blomberg (Denver Seminary)

Reviews:
“Within the confines of the series, Bock provides a well informed, conservative treatment of Luke’s Gospel that is particularly attentive to its language and use of biblical idioms. The discussion of the individual pericopes as outlined above is readable, alerts the reader to the principal issues involved in the interpretation of any given passage, and dialogues with a representative selection of the main secondary literature on disputed points.”--Christopher R. Matthews, Society of Biblical Literature
