Commentary Reccomendations

[GrayPilgrim]

In this thread I would like to post some commentary reccomendations and open up hte floor to anyone else's reccomendations as well.

[GrayPilgrim]

I will Start with a few that I like all of which need to be read critically as they all have their problems but I have found them useful:


Genesis
A. Ross Creation and Blessing (Conservative)
Waltke Genesis (Conservative)

Leviticus
Milgrom Levitcus 3 vols. AB (Jewish; non-Conservative)
A. Ross Holiness to the Lord (Conservative)

Psalms
Gerstenberger Psalms 2 vols. FOTL (non-conservative)
Tate Psalms 51-100 WBC 20 (Conservative)

Isaiah
Motyer The Prophecy of Isaiah (Conservative)

Malachai
Hill Malachai AB (Conservative)
this is the only volume in the series written by an Evangelical
Matthew
France Matthew (Conservative)
(This is nice as it argues for Matthean Primacy which is rare in modern scholarship so the introduction is worth the price of admittance.)
Romans
C.E.B. Cranfield Romans ICC
Schreiner Romans BECNT (Conservative)

Colossians
Dunn Colossians and Philemon NIGTC (Conservative)
Harris Colossians and Philemon (Conservative)

[PuritanD]

This is a great idea for a thread. Here are a few of mine.

Luke
Bock, Darrell in the BECNT (Conservative)

John
Raymond Brown - AB ~ he is moderate at best, but as with most in the Anchor serious, critical reading is a must,

Romans
Moo - NINTC (Conservative)

1 Corinthians
Thiesleton - NIGTC (Conservative)

Pastoral Epistles
Knight III - NIGTC (Conservative)
Mounce - Word (Conservative)

[Jaltus]

John

Schnackenburg, Rudolf: (Moderate) The best commentary on John ever written.

Carson, DA: (Pillar) PNTC (Conservative) deals with a lot of the OT background and difficult passages.

I'll be back to this thread later. This is just off the top of my head.

[John Reece]

Matthew
France, Matthew (Conservative)

'Glad to see that one listed.

France is not only conservative but also preterist.

His Matthew tops my list of great commentaries.

His doctoral thesis, Jesus and the Old Testament is a superb explication of the preterist perspective in New Testament interpretation.

Edited re "doctrinal" thesis - :doh:

That's like saying old fellows like me have trouble with the prostrate gland.
