[...] Andy Naselli has a good review of 3 major evangelical commentary series that are now electronic. I’ve been contemplating going electronic with these and he has some good thoughts on the value of the electronic versions. Now I need someone to give me 800 to buy them. Check his review. [...]

No problem. Thanks for the clarification. Again, great work. I will definitely pass this review along through my site tomorrow.

Thanks, Jason. I don’t have a strong opinion on this one. Thiselton’s commentary is first-class scholarship, and I don’t mean to belittle it! It’s really a toss-up, but I suppose I made that comment because Garland is a bit more up-to-date and clearer in his writing style. That why I said that Garland is “probably second to Gordon D. Fee’s volume.” That word “probably” indicates an element of uncertainty. :-)

Mike, I verified that it is a typo. The current academic price is $189.95. It used to be $179.95, not $129.95. I’ve corrected this. Thanks for pointing it out.

Nice review. I appreciate the overview of these three commentary series, especially b/c I’ve been considering going electronic.

I found it curious, however, that you rank Garland’s work on 1 Corinthians second only to only Fee’s. I take this to mean that you find both Fee and Garland’s work above Thiselton. Just curious as to why.

Thanks for posting your review.

Thanks, Mike. Good question. I think you may have found a typo, though it’s possible that the price may have changed since I wrote this back in August. (I asked five different Logos employees to read my review before it was published, and none of them flagged it when they read it in August.)

Hi Andy,

Great review. I found it really helpful and was also found the upcoming commentary list very interesting. There was a small point I was curious about. The article says BECNT was $129 academic in logos but I thought it was a fair bit higher than that (ie. $179). Was it really at the lower price, if so I missed the boat, or was that the price for the other baker set?

Thanks
Mike
