The Book of Deuteronomy: Chapters 1–11. NICOT. Eerdmans, 2022.
Themelios (Davy Ellison)

Arnold is a tremendous writer. Few introductory sections of commentaries are compelling, fast paced, and innovative, but this is. This commentary will not bore its reader... I am certainly not always in agreement with him, but he is a fruitful conversation partner. As a result, I am convinced that this new NICOT volume (and its forthcoming companion) will be the new standard for engaging Deuteronomy.

Originally released over twenty-five years ago as part of the New American Commentary series (Nashville: Broadman & Holman, 1996), Mathews has reworked his esteemed commentary for a new generation. ... The Christian Standard Commentary (CSC) aims to “embody an ‘ancient-modern’ approach” (p. ix). This involves bringing together careful exegesis, theological insight, and rigorous scholasticism alongside practical relevance and application to the “building up of Christ’s church and the Great Commission to which all are called” (p. xii). One may say that this commentary has thoroughly succeeded! ... many preachers, pastors, Christian ministry leaders, Bible college and seminary students, and (one hopes!) invested laypeople will find this commentary a helpful resource at multiple levels, particularly those unfamiliar with the first edition.

Acts 1–14: A Handbook on the Greek Text (2nd ed.). BHGNT. Baylor University Press, 2022.

This book is excellent and definitely worth having. It does exactly what it sets out to do. Acts, especially the last several chapters, can be very challenging. It has hundreds of rare words and numerous participle constructions. (Luke seems to have set out to show off how accomplished in Greek he was!) For anyone attempting to translate all or parts of Acts, this would definitely be a valuable tool on one’s desk.

Hebrews. EGGNT. B&H Academic, 2019.
Themelios (Abeneazer G. Urga)

Regardless, this volume is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to study the Greek text of Hebrews. The exegetical insights, the bibliographic information provided under each identified theme, and the homiletical suggestions are ideal for scholarly research as well as sermon preparation. The volume requires intermediate or advanced knowledge of Greek grammar and thus may be inaccessible for beginning Greek grammar students.
