The Evangelical Biblical Theology (EBT) Commentary series is distinct from other commentary series like NICOT, NICNT, and Pillar in that it focuses on the overarching themes and theological message of each book of the Bible, rather than providing verse-by-verse exposition or detailed historical and cultural analysis.
The EBT Commentary series is designed to help readers understand the big picture of each book of the Bible and how it fits into the broader narrative of Scripture. Each volume in the series provides an introduction to the book, a discussion of its major themes and theological emphases, and an overview of how the book contributes to the larger story of the Bible.
In contrast, other commentary series like NICOT, NICNT, and Pillar provide detailed verse-by-verse analysis of the biblical text, often drawing on historical, linguistic, and cultural background information to provide a more complete understanding of the text. These commentaries may also include discussions of important themes and theological ideas, but the focus is primarily on the exegetical and historical details of the text.
Overall, the EBT Commentary series is a helpful resource for readers who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the theological message of the Bible, while other commentary series like NICOT, NICNT, and Pillar are more suitable for readers who want a detailed analysis of the biblical text itself.
You should definitely try it, it loves one sentence questions with little context.
When asked who publishes it, it does correctly identify Lexham, and also correcly identifies it as the EBTC.
It also might be wrong.
