Having used this commentary extensively in seminary, and then again in the ministry, it is certainly one of my favorites. I love the Gospel of Mark. I love this commentary. Although eclipsed by R. T. France (NIGTC), this is still a very insightful and helpful volume.

I think Charles Cranfield's work on Romans in the ICC is the best commentary I have ever used. Even when you disagree with him (he is a Barthian), he is well worth reading. He provides all the relevant interpretations of a passage, lays out the best arguments for and against that interpretation, before setting forth his own conclusion. Cranfield has the benefit of being a wise and judicious man. This is how commentaries ought to be written!

See above.

Leon Morris is another wise and judicious scholar. This is a very helpful volume and I find myself turning to it first when dealing with issues in John-although D. A. Carson's commentary on John is close behind.

This volume doesn't get the praise I think it deserves. Fung is clear, concise and does a good job weighing evidence for varying interpretations.

I think this is an outstanding commentary. I was privileged to sit in two of Dr. Hagner's New Testament seminars for my Ph.D. work. This set is comprehensive, sane and carefully considers all viable options. That makes it of value, even when you happen to disagree--which isn't often. Is it just me, or does anyone else think Dr. Hagner looks and sounds like Donald Sutherland?

This commentary is a true gem. Not only does Andersen succeed in setting forth the message of Job, he continually points us to the greater Job, Jesus, the Man of Sorrows.
