This is an excellent commentary on Leviticus. It isn’t quite as readable as Wenham’s NICOT (which is remarkable and a classic) but it’s also 30 years newer and so more engaged with what's been published since 1979. Kiuchi is to be commended for trying something a bit different - his take on holiness is fascinating and resonates with the NT well.

Though dating, it remains surprisingly readable for it's level (as long as you ignore the in-text citation/references).

A very readable and enjoyable (!) commentary on Ecclesiastes that wears its scholarship lightly, opens up the text, and bodes well for this new series.

Whilst a technical - and Overland is particularly competent in the languages and literature of both Proverbs itself and the surrounding context - and weighty commentary, this has a devotional heart. It is relatively readable, and Overland's translation and comments are fresh, which this reader found exciting whilst reading this commentary devotionally over a month or so.

Full review to follow. But at the end of the day it's just not that theologically engaged - which is an issue for a theological commentary. In a hundred years or so it will be a vital source for understanding British theology, anglicanism and liberal theological interpretation of Scripture - but it isn't a classic. I plan to review it fully in the new year.

A good but brief commentary - well worth consulting but for a more exegetically rounded approach Thompson's new TNTC (replacing N. T, Wright) is the one to grab. [Full Review]

Well worth consulting, but not particularly exciting.

It's excellent, though Nijay needs to stretch his legs in a longer commentary.

If you are looking for a short and readable commentary, then I think that the NCCS series is looking to me to be a good choice. Mbuvi carefully and helpfully blends serious engagement with the text with a real sense of how this text can apply to churches today. Other than some occasionally poor copy-editing (‘fairy inferno, anyone?!?!) this is a nicely put together and very readable commentary. [Full Review]

As a Protestant, I wouldn’t recommend this book without the caveat that the author’s Roman Catholicism is fairly fundamental to it. That said, it is a readable, encouraging and practically-oriented commentary on the book of Romans. [Full Review]

A stunning commentary, probably the best single volume available from an evangelical perspective - and biblically-theologically engaged enough to be worth consulting beyond parameters.
