Luke

As a pastor and preacher of a small local church I found this to be a thorough and fairly readable commentary with a lot of technical depth. And I could access it even though my ability in the Greek is quite rudimentary (though those better trained in sure would get more out of it). Mounce defends Pauline authorship unapologetically but with detailed review of criticisms, which is his standard approach. He surveys a diversity of scholarly positions whilst also presenting his own persuasion. He sometimes could be clearer in his own assessment of the various arguments, but on the whole very helpful. My main use for this commentary was to explore grammar and vocabulary details for more complicated verses and to see the breath of positions in some more difficult passages.

It is a brilliant commentary, full of detail, rigour, beauty and insight. I have read this devotionally and am so grateful to Stott's brilliant work!
