- These are the book review comments for the series from Craig Blomberg at TGC: "The series, which seems heavily Scandinavian in origin, and Pentecostal in contributorship, has only a handful of bonafide New Testament scholars as writers. All articles are unsigned. The Greek text is not the Nestle-Aland but a modified Textus Receptus (Stephanus plus variants). The major English text is the av. The comments on Galatians through Philemon, while consistently conservative, break no new ground and assiduously avoid taking stands or exploring in any detail all of the most interesting or controversial exegetical issues. The idea of one series which will do it all is admirable, but this series will not do it, though its high-tech presentation will make it attractive to many, and it does collect together an impressive wealth of material into one place." I think there are some other commentary series that do a fairer job on some up-to-date issues among evangelical biblical topics than this series.
