This series of commentaries on the New English Bible is designed for use in schools and colleges, and for the minister and the layman. Each volume comments on one book, or part, of the Bible. In each the text is given in full. Sections of text and commentary alternate, so that the reader does not have to keep two books open, or turn from one part of the book to the other, or refer to a commentary in small type at the foot of the page. Great care has been taken to see that the commentary is suitable for the student and the layman: there is no Greek or Hebrew, and no strings of biblical references. The general editors all have experience of teaching or examining in school and working with adults. Commentaries on all the books of the Old Testament, New Testament and Apocrypha have been published, together with introductory volumes and books of illustrations to accompany each Testament.

    Easy to follow. Good resource for library.

    GHP Thompson's 192-page commentary on Ephesians, Colossians, and Philemon is an entirely unique work. For the purposes of this review, the commentary section on Colossians was analyzed. Functioning as a mix between a short commentary and an expanded translation, this volume eloquently flows through the books with brief expansions on each verse. The text is one of the most readable commentaries on Colossians encountered by the reviewer. By far, the most helpful aspects of this work are the book introductions and conclusions (as an aside - this too is quite an unusual and helpful addition that is rarely, if ever, seen in a commentary).

    In spite of these qualities, there are a number of concerns in regard to the commentary that should be noted. While the writer strongly and ably supports the Pauline authorship of the epistle (104-111), he offers up the weakly supported and, by even his own defense, the unnecessary view of co-authorship or even commissioning to Timothy (107, 111). In the reviewer's mind, the author attempts to narrow down the exact nature of the Colossian heresy and then uses these conclusions to read deeply into a number of texts (e.g. 118, 120, 135). Not all of these conclusions are unfounded, but some seem to be beyond the implication of the text. Another issue is the book's length (69 pages are devoted to Colossians). Although the writer does an excellent job with the allotted space, many phrases receive little or no comment at all. If the reader is seeking out answers to difficult questions on the text at hand, this volume will not prove to be much value beyond the introductory matters.

    All in all, a critical reader will gain a quick overview of the epistle with a minimal investment of time (the reviewer completed the Colossians commentary in an evening). The views expressed by the writer are primarily conservative in nature and insightful. The defense of Pauline authorship is very impressive and will be the main value of the book to the scholar.
