The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament

So incredibly, wonderfully helpful. If you're going to own one New Testament Commentary, own this one! There are more in-depth lengthy commentaries for individual Bible books, but this is the standard for a full NT commentary!

Very useful tool for study or aiding in teaching a study

Adds depth to biblical studies. So easy to find pertinent information for lesson prep or personal study

Love this as it includes both Hebrew and Greek with English translation above and corresponding Strong's number. However, very small print possibly the tradeoff to having both the Old and New Testament in one streamlined book. Additionally, this is from the Textus Receptus, so good!

My husband loves this book. It is very easy to read & understand. Its a great way to understand the verses we are reading in the Bible. Great purchase.

Excellent commentary on Biblical background. I gave it to my husband as a Christmas gift. He has used it every single day since he opened it. Very informative and thorough.

the info on passages is helpful but very brief. I think the remarks need to be longer with more detail

Excellent and Understandable material, there's a Whole Lot in there for One of a Two Volume set of the Whole Bible. The font size is not very big, but if you have your glasses on it's so worth all the extra content.

Great book, to go a bit deeper with historical details.

Havent read or utilise it yet for preparation for my lifegroup, but its a great addition to my arsenal of reference!

Finalmente ho tra le mani un sussidio per la lettura delle Sacre Scritture che non si allunga nelle interpretazioni fantasiose ma riporta per terra, al quel background, nel quale si muoveva Gesu'. Consiglio vivamente a tutti. L'inglese e' molto facile nella sua lettura.

Amazing commentary. Gives great insight not found in other commentaries.

Provides good insight into passages and explains them really well. I work in Bible translation and this volume has proved to be a valuable resource time after time. Perfect companion for translation and personal study.
