Strack and Billerbeck's Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud and Midrash has long been a standard work on 2nd Temple Judaism. It is languishing on pre-pub. I would like to ask you to give it a further look.
Below are some screen shots from my library giving some indication of the importance of this work. (I don't own Anchor Bible Commentary but imagine it would come up in a similar search.) There are a couple of ways resources cite Strack and Billerbeck, so I've used a couple of search terms. (Within some commentary series different abbreviations are sometimes used, too.)
Between standard reference works and technical commentaries, there are hundreds of references to S-B in my Library.
I believe many of us would benefit from this resource if we can get it into print. Take a look and if you agree, get in on the pre-pub.
Thanks.
