Summary

Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these volumes offer clear, reliable and relevant explanations of the New Testament. Market/Audience Pastors Professors Seminary students Theologians Sunday school teachers Endorsement"The evenness and quality of this series are remarkable." - CHRISTIANITY TODAY"There simply is no series of medium-length commentaries that approaches the excellence of the Tyndale commentaries." - DONALD A. HAGNER, Fuller Theological Seminary"Tyndale commentaries are always useful, not least because they focus so clearly on the text of Scripture, and do not fall into the trap of paying too much attention to other commentaries and not enough to the scriptural text they are intended to expound and explain. So they retain their usefulness for preachers, Bible study leaders and for all readers of the Bible." - PETER ADAM, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia"Within its constraints, this series includes some outstanding volumes." - D. A. CARSON, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"The Tyndale volumes have long been the premier shorter-length commentary series on both Testaments throughout the English-speaking world." - CRAIG BLOMBERG, Denver Seminary Features and Benefits Offers passage-by-passage interpretation of New Testament books Addresses major themes and critical issues Written for the educated layperson Helpful to pastors and scholars Provides contemporary scholarship
