Enoch Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) What I want in a NT commentary, is a commentator who learned Greek as a child & mastered the entire ancient Greek corpus, which indicates a British commentator of the 19th century (like Alford or Bloomfield) who posts the Greek text at the top of each page & comments below.) Though I don't agree with Alford's soteriology, yet I can open him & hum, "What's it all about, Alfy," Are there any modern commentators who learned Greek as a child & are familiar with the entire ancient Greek corpus, so that when they come to a verse in Paul, they can say, Q: This expression in Paul is very much like what Polybius says in Book III, 10.2.3 in discussing the Mixed Constitution of the Roman Republic. His use of the intransitive 2nd Aorist in discussing Scipio's confrontation with Antiochus Epiphanes, is very much the same. /Q Who is alive who can do that?

Metzger is the one generally recommended to students or scholars (or Bible translators). Comfort is "for the rest of us". I use both and love both. You can't go wrong with either or both. I'd probably recommend Comfort, then Metzger, then get into the high-end stuff once you learn Greek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, i like to consolidate all my resources but there are just a few that i doubt will come to accordance so i need them elsewhere. The infographics bible is not, i did request it many moons ago but there wasnt any interest from others. Having said that, its one of those resources that is actually very good as a dead tree version so im happy to have it beside my chair along with my common worship and times and seasons for easy access.

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Feel free to tag me in the post and I can see if interest revives. There's a few study Bibles I keep both in print and Accordance (Thompson, plus I just purchased Charles Stanley's Life Principles Bible in KJV and gave my NKJV one to my brother), and I still have a Scofield I may keep in print since the Accordance version doesn't have the textual notes yet. I had a larger collection of study Bibles, but they were ones I weren't using much, and 100% of that content is in Accordance. I gave them all away as gifts and consolidated everything in Accordance.

mgvh Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I am regularly asked for info about best commentaries on NT books. Here are my lists: Recommended Commentaries on Matthew Recommended Commentaries on Mark Recommended Commentaries on Luke Recommended Commentaries on John Recommended Commentaries on Parables of Jesus Recommended Books on Revelation I also point people to the Best Bible Commentaries site which gives lots of information on the background and purpose of each commentary and on commentary series. You can choose a biblical book (e.g., Mark) and filter by academic level, theological view, and whether it is available in Accordance (or Logos or Olive Tree). I would have a different set of recommendations for deeper Greek work. E.g., volumes from these series: Baylor Handbooks on the Greek Text, Baker Exegetical, NIGTC, SIL Exegetical, Exegetical Guide to the GNT. (Those are links to the series in Accordance. I do wish Accordance would get the rest of the EGGNT works now available.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are as I know, Metzger covers only or little more than the USB edition variants. And he seems primarily interested in explaining why the USB editors chose the variant they chose. Am I wrong?

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I'd need to brush up on it, but I think he primarily covers the UBS variants. Comfort also covers major English versions which is super handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Cue Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The ones I like best are The Expositor's Bible Commentary (Revised), the Bible Speaks Today, Reformed Expository Commentary, Calvin's Commentary, The Pillar New Testament Commentary, and The New American Commentary.

And he seems primarily interested in explaining why the USB editors chose the variant they chose. Yes, and this is precisely what I like about his commentary. Metzger's commentary gives me an insider's view of the UBS/NA textual committee and allows me to almost experience the process that the committee went through. I can gain a better understanding of the various opinions and maybe even discussions the committee had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
