I know many of these books, own a few in hard copy, have reviewed some and have wanted to read others. This is an awesome collection by one of the best theological publishers in the English language. It is a scholarly collection, not for random dipping, as each is a monograph by a leading scholar on a wide variety of topics in New Testament studies. Consequently we only get one side of many of the debates - opposing positions are usually published by somebody else. Nor does this collection conform to a single point of view or basic theological perspective. There are degrees of orthodoxy and some way-out perspectives; to have Tannehill, Malina, Beker, Kingsbury and Koester - to name a few - in the same collection is truly wonderful. Logos is to be commended for putting this package together; all I need now is the money to buy it.

Incredible value. Years ago when hit by illness and poverty I sold my 4 vols of Jowett's translation of The Dialogues of Plato - my friend mistakenly accepted $20 instead of the $200 I was asking. This wonderful offer - for a better version, because the Loeb has the Greek as well as the English (in another fine translation). This opens up possibilities undreamt of back in my early days of philosophy.

This is a wonderful collection of materials on the Apocryphal and Pseudepigraphical works of ancient Jewish literature. While there have been comprehensive works since, such as the excellent but all too brief analysis of James H Charlesworth, these classic have not lost their appeal. In both New Testament and Hebrew Bible scholarship the currents of change are swift and powerful; less so with these important works. I am just about to snap them up!

As a teacher of the New Testament to adults at every level, from first-time readers to theological students and ordinands, I have found this series to be universally helpful. Many shorter commentaries answer all the questions except for the ones you are asking - the questions that drive you to a commentary in the first place. This series does tackle the hard questions, with grace and simplicity.
