I just finished the Hosea volume. It wasn't my favorite, but I'm glad I read it. I like Philip Graham Ryken's volumes the best to this point.

What a wonderful books. Thank you so much brother for the elaborate reviews on these books. Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. ✝️🙌🏻

Amen! Thank you, take care.

Thank you for your labors. You are certainly right about Gen 1-11. Grindheim studied under Carson and I think is a conservative Lutheran who clearly sees the law-gospel antithesis (contra S Hafeman pace D Fuller).

Excellent information, thank you! Carson makes sense since he was at TEDS. Lutheran makes sense since he teaches in Norway.

"Freed-uh-men." And yes, those are all Wesleyan scholars.

Kenneth Turner is my professor!

You're famous! Or, he's famous! Maybe I'm famous? EVERYONE is famous! :)

In terms of genesis commentaries that go in-depth on chapters 1-11, I'd recommend "The Genesis Account" by Jonathan Sarfati which dedicates 700 pages to those eleven chapters :)

Wow. Thank you for mentioning that. I don't recall Sarfati, I need to look into him.

I think I heard D A Carson say in a lecture that he was writing the Revelation volume for the Pillar series. Am I wrong in thinking Philip Edgcumbe Hughes wrote a Revelation commentary that was associated with this series? The cover was the same.

I also heard that. PE Hughes did treat Rev in PNTC way back in the early 90's but it is very, very thin. In addition to Rev, back in 1999 I heard that Carson was contributing 1 Jn in NIGTC but it still isn't out yet and 1 Jn is the one NT book I think desperately needs a great commentary. I also read years ago that Carson was covering Gal in PNTC, Heb in BECNT, and 1 Pet perhaps in PNTC but I am not sure those are still planned.

Thank you, I forgot about that volume as I was making the video. Hughes' commentary was published in 1991 and is 250 pages. It is Amill. It wasn't well-reviewed mostly because of its size. Eerdman's discontinued it, so it hasn't been available new for years. I looked this up in John Evan's resource guide and he mentions that Carson is writing the Revelation volume (I hadn't noticed this before), adding "I expect this is a long way off." The guide was published in 2016.

A few other thoughts on this. First, Hughes died in May of 1990, so I imagine this was the last book he wrote. And despite the negative reviews below (i.e., the first two), readers should consider his 2 Corinthians and Hebrews commentaries, which are very well reviewed. Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, "There is little resemblance between Hughes' extensive, well-known earlier commentaries on 2 Corinthians and Hebrews and the present volume, which is essentially a straightforward paragraph-by-paragraph exposition of Revelation from the amillennial, preterist viewpoint expounded in Hughes' earlier work, Interpreting Prophecy." (Reviewer: David L. Turner) Trinity Journal, "While making Revelation certainly more accessible to the mainline denominations, Hughes does not truly reach into the depths of the work, and thus penalizes his readers as well." (Reviewer: David A. deSilva) Westminster Theological Journal: "I said the preacher may not read this commentary first. Yes, but he may well want to turn to it last. One well-known publisher, on the dust-cover, used to describe many of its books as 'sane.' This is eminently a 'sane' treatment of the Apocalypse. Hughes, with his fine historical sense, keeps within bounds. He leads us with a sure step, following the direction of the text towards its ultimate goal." (Reviewer: Robert Letham)

Love your channel. Thank you. Question: do you have a list of your top selection of every book of the bible? If so, where can I find it...link?

Hello, what do you think about Kim Seyoon's contribution to F. F. Bruce's commentary on 1&2 Thessalonians?

@BestBibleCommentaries

5 ай бұрын

Hi, I checked for academic reviews and there are none yet, and there probably won't be until later in the year. You may have noticed that Bruce's name still appears on the book because Zondervan describes Kim's additions as an "update." Part of the update includes a more user friendly table of contents and layout, which is especially helpful for WBC commentaries. I can also tell you that in Kim, who has taught at Fuller for years, takes traditional/conservative views on many Pauline issues, e.g., in his other books, he argues against the New Perspective on Paul.

That's really helpful, thank youu a lot!@@BestBibleCommentaries

Hey I’ve been watching your videos on how to build a biblical library, and one of things you recommended was the dictionary of Paul and his letters. I went to look it up online and there is a new version selling for 50, but I can get a pre owned version of the first edition for 15. I’m not sure how much I’m going to use the resource (I hope I use it a bit) is it worth it to buy the second edition for that much more?

@BestBibleCommentaries

Probably not. It's new entries will mostly be academic in nature. The basics on Paul's life, letters, and theology will be umchanged.

I have a side question apart from these: Would you know of any non-multivolume, single volume commentary or abridgment, covering most of the Bible either chapter by chapter or verse by verse that pulls direct comments and quotes from only Reformation era writers after maybe 1500's and beyond, or a Study Bible that does this? The Ancient Faith study Bible has done this already for early church era commentary, pulling from the multi-volume commentary from IVP edited by Thomas Odin. IVP likewise does have the complimentary mult-volume set Reformation Commentary on Scripture, but I don't believe an abridgement or a study Bible has been made into a 1 volume yet pulling from that big set. other Study Bibles like the Church History Study Bible or the Ancient-Modern study Bible try to pull comments from both eras. But if you know of any 1 vol. resource or commentary that only focuses on Reformational thinkers quotes ( even if out of print ) or if a future project is underway to do so based on the IVP set, please comment, thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't know of a resource that fits that description. Of course, some tools reflect Reformation thought, like the Reformation Study Bible, which has contributions from dozens of modern Reformed writers: www.amazon.com/ESV-Reformation-Study-Bible-Student/dp/1642893447/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1701545687&sr=8-6

The more “unique” a translation is the less I want to read it. It’s getting to a point where the effort to stand out among the many English translations is causing the accuracy of those translations a secondary issue.

I think most publishers agree with you, which is why committees are popular. Eugene Peterson's, The Message, may be the most popular single-scholar translation in recent years, though I believe it has lost market share now.
