For some reason my text didn't show up. I was using IE9 Beta. With Google Chrome, I think it's going to work now.
My original question was: Any opinions on Lenski's NT Commentaries? I see they're 299.95 in the Christmas sale. Do you think they're worth the price?
Thanks!
Danny
Welcome to the forums, Danny.
I have Lenski's commentaries in print. I have used them for about 20 years. I find them useful exegetically.
I fully intend to buy the Logos versions in the future, but they are not my top priority right now, which is to buy electronic resources which I don't have in print.
Every blessing

You have to use compatibility mode in IE9 for this site.
That rather depends on what other commentaries you already have. Lenski is a fairly solid if sometime staid Lutheran expositor. I have the set, and use it from time to time, but there are other better sets in my view.
I have many of the NICOT/NICNT commentaries in print and all the commentaries that come with the Platinum package: Pillar, Baker Ex., etc. Perhaps my money would be better spent on other Christmas Sale items.
By the way, thanks so much for all the vids. I've learned more from you than any other resource concerning L4.
I'm a Baptist, but I use Lenski. He is one of my favorite NT commentators. I used a thought in his commentary on Matthew in a Christmas devotional used to wrap our annual cantata last Sunday:
How is it that these men entered a home of a humble carpenter and fell down and worshipped a baby with great joy? The only answer to that question is found in the fact that "God enabled their hearts to behold what their eyes could not see" (Lenski).
In my opinion, you would profit greatly from consulting with him on a regular basis

Jim,
Sounds good. BTW I'm technically still a Baptist but serving in the UMC--an interesting experience!
