Me too!
It's now on pre-pub: http://www.logos.com/products/prepub/details/8007
Does anyone know anything about this particular commentary or its author? It's apparently too new to get any reviews from places like BestCommentaries.com.
David Allen is the Dean of the School of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
He previously wrote a book called Lukan Authorship of Hebrews. I bet he's included that material in this commentary.
Dr. Allen has spent a number of years working through the text of Hebrews. His dissertation has now been published (Lukan authorship), and is a compelling argument for a Lukan authorship. I have had this book on pre-order for quite some time, and received it a number of weeks ago. After glancing through it I noticed that the introduction is significantly larger than any of the other volumes in the series. Also, Allen boast that his exegesis of Heb 6.1-6 is the most extensive and longest discussion in print in any commentary. I do not consult the NAC series all to often, but as a student of Hebrews I grab every major commentary that comes of the presses as soon as I can. I have benefited from his articles and dissertation in the past, I suspect that this will be the case with his commentary as well.
Where does Allen land on Hebrews 6?
Nice summation, Cliff, I have ordered it. I preached through Hebrews last year and found that half of what I own was written by George Guthrie--NIVAC, ZIBBCNT, CNTUOT, lol. His stuff was fantastic. I also bought the hardcover in the Paideia series and found it quite good to. Any other favorites of yours?

Man that was rather quick! Thanks Logos
less than 24 hours later, it looks like we're already turning the corner into development!
BUMP
Looks like this has been "under development" nearly a year now. Any chance you could accommodate impatient pastors who are looking to begin preaching Hebrews next month??? [:D]

I wonder about that every time I look at my preorders. It's one of the oldest pre-orders I have, and the oldest single volume pre-order.
Folks,
I think the message here should be if you see me signed up for a particular resource in pre-pub, pass it up! Every time I sign up for a pre-pub, the same thing happens. And the list of pre-pubs keeps growing.
What I originally wanted the Hebrews commentary for is now long past. The only reason I stay signed up now is to complete my NAC set. I'm now 73 years old and wonder if I'll live to see the NAC Hebrews!
