Since its appearance nearly 35 years ago, Black's New Testament Commentary Series has been hailed by both scholars and pastors for its insightful interpretations and reliable commentary. Each book in the series includes: an insightful introduction to the important historical, literary, and theological issues; key terms and phrases from the translation highlighted in the commentary where they are discussed; explanations of special Greek or foreign terms; references to important primary and secondary literature; and a Scripture index.
"This is undoubtedly one of the best commentaries in the Black's New Testament series. The style is clear and the attitude positive. Furthermore, with only nine chapters upon which to comment, Canon Kelly has room for adequate discussion of problem passages. It is a commentary every theological student ought to have on his [sic] shelf."
