Publisher Description: This much-anticipated sixth edition of New Testament Commentary Survey offers students and pastors an updated look into available resources on the New Testament. Pastors, seminarians, and theology students will eagerly welcome this invaluable tool into their biblical studies libraries.
In this succinct yet thorough survey, Carson examines sets, one-volume commentaries, and New Testament introductions and theologies, before offering extensive comments on the available offerings for each New Testament book, noting intended audience, levels of difficulty, and theological perspective. He records the publisher, price, and current publication status, identifies those texts he considers overpriced, and advises readers when to delay purchase for forthcoming works. The book concludes with a useful "Best Buys" section where Carson indicates the most valuable works for each individual New Testament book.
NOTE: Carson's edition differs significantly in layout from Tremper Longman III's Old Testament Commentary Survey. Whereas Longman's gives each commentary its own paragraph and uses a star rating system, Carson's is more of a narrative style, with underlined commentary names scattered throughout the text. Carson's has no rating system.
