Authors preview:
"It is a revision of my 1998 volume in the NAC series, based on the NIV. The NAC series has established itself alongside the NICOT series as the most in-depth evangelical commentary series, and the CSC continues in that tradition, using the CSB as its base text. My primary aim here (as it was in the first edition) has been to attempt an in-depth exegesis of each passage in the body of the commentary; matters of background, archaeology, apologetics, and the like are mainly found in the Introduction, in footnotes, and in several excurses. One special new feature is the “Biblical-Theological Reflections” after every chapter, where I have attempted to integrate each chapter’s messages and themes with larger themes in biblical theology, including looking at the NT more frequently than I had in the first edition; this is in keeping with the stated goals and approach of the CSC, which I applaud."
