I have been preaching through Luke at my church now for probably over 2 1/2 years. I have used many commentaries, some exegetical and some more expository and devotional. I absolutely love Darrell Bock for his exegetical commentaries (and his little IVP volume). But for expository help and further insight into the text, Phil Ryken (REC) is absolutely superb. I have consistently found it to be exegetically responsible (he has done his homework) and full of theological and applicational insight. I recommend these volumes very highly indeed, both for pastors and lay people who want to study the book. It is easy to understand, even though it has great depth.

This book is amazing. Very biblical, practical and helpful. Typical Alcorn clarity. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the topic of heaven, and for those who are suffering and need hope.

The exposition of the actual Psalms in this volume seem like pure gold, especially if you love the discipline of Biblical Theology as I do. So very rich. This volume is now my favorite in helping me to preach the Psalms, but I am reading it right now devotionally, and that is rich as well. The emphasis here is clearly on the final form of the canonical text, which in my opinion, is exactly right. The connections he makes between texts in the Psalms and between these Psalms and the Bible elsewhere are so helpful, helping us to see the unity of the Bible in all of it's diversity. The introduction was okay, with some very good points made, but the exposition of the actual Psalms is where this volume is pure gold. Highly recommended! Thank you so much Dr. Hamilton for serving the Church by writing this commentary, which you, very evidently, put great amounts of time and effort into.

I love his writings! Logos, please add his volume on Revelation 2-3 to this collection to make it complete.

His volume (not in this collection) is excellent. Sound scholarship combined with devotional warmth, a combination not easily found. I truly hope this collection comes to be!

This commentary is now my favorite on Genesis. It is even-handed...does not stretch the meaning of the text. In the notes on verses it is accessible and even enjoyable to read. He gives just what the preacher needs. I think it tops the NICOT

This commentary is excellent for preachers. Though not light-weight in theology or theory, it is yet very accessible and clear, full of wisdom and pastoral insights for preaching. Very useful!

So far, I have found this commentary excellent on theological application and practical application. Great for the preacher!
