- Why a revised edition, just after four years, if it is the same of the previous one?
- How many volumes does the entire commentary on Acts consist of?
- It seems there will be 3 volumes. On p.88 of this volume, Walton says there are questions about Acts that he will address at the end of his 3rd volume on Acts, and in the context he seems to be saying that would be the final volume.
- What about 1 and 2 Thessalonians by K. P. Donfried belonging to this series?
- It seems the publisher announced this at some point and gave it an ISBN, but nothing ever got published (at least I can't find it)
- The first edition is dated 2005 and contains 482 pages. The changes in this second edition are so big and remarkable as to justify purchasing it?
- I am also curious as to this question
- As a matter a fact this resource is not furnished with page'numbers (the same for volume 2)
- There are no page numbers because it is not a book, it's a website turned into a resource within Logos.
- This CSC series reproduces (mainly) NAC series and in the end is uselesss for those who already own it
- Looking at Schreiner on the epistles of Peter, there was 17 years between the 1st and 2nd editions and he states that it is a through revision. I can’t speak for the rest.
- Thank you for this review.
- The CSC is based in the CSB translation while the NAC was based on the NIV. This is bound to affect the text and the overall content. It is also useful for those quoting text in academia, and provides an up to date bibliography, I'm told.
- Are the differences with the 1984 edition so important to justify this purchase?
- I'm assuming this is Smalley's 2007 revision (then reprinted more recently when Zondervan took over the series). The preface to the 2007 edition indicates that there aren't lots of substantial differences: more a refreshing of Smalley's writing and the chance to engage with some more recent scholarship.
- Yes, the ebook metadata says the print date is 2008.
