An excellent, welcome addition to commentaries on the Letter to the Hebrews. Within are (1) 10 Excursuses, (2) numerous aspects surrounding the 'Reception' of Hebrews, (3) copious indices, a refreshing style of writing the commentary that is (4) conversant with the works of other authors and (5) contains over 800 footnotes - all within its 814 pages. An impressive addition of materials relevant to understanding Hebrews.

These have different authors however, there is a powerful structure within the set that each book possesses. I have used them as a more meaty approach to impending Bible studies, sermons, and group discussions than Bible dictionaries and other 'quick read' resources.

There is too much 'sermonizing' on aspects of Joel's message so that this book looks at pieces of Joel, includes pieces on the state of the church, and includes snipits of judgment on society in general. May be good for a Bible study group.

This is not a comment about the Legacy Standard Bible. It is disappointing to have no access to the footnotes, etc., that would reveal better insight into the LSB's claims of advances in its presentation of the original languages. This generic look inside the LSB - I believe - does a disservice to the purported "Key Features".

This is a comment on the previous books of Dr. Craig S. Keener: A common dictum of commentators is to 'Leave no stone unturned." His scholarship is made richer by his turning over the gravel, the stone particles, and stone dust to provide us with a firm and informed base from which to preach and/or teach. I heartily support this counsel: Keep the old coat and buy Keener's latest commentary!

Having spent years with the 'leave no stone unturned' perspective of coming to grips with the meaning of the language, and any problem(s) of interpretation within that portion of the Scripture. There have been numerous times when Hermeneia served as my Philip and enabled me to understand and/or to better understand what I was reading. While the initial price price may appear daunting, I updated the volumes I had purchased for less than $50. That only reinforced my appreciation for having purchased the set early on!

One of the most challenging books to read because of the formatting: there are numerous text boxes with columns that have no separation between the columns. It is an arduous experience to garner any knowledge from them. A massive revision of the formatting will have to be done before the contents can be readable/helpful.
