Paideia Commentaries

Mark Johnson

This series has languished in pre-publication. Possibly because it was put there are roughly the same time as several other sets from Baker. It is time to push this series into the contract mode! This is an important series and it would be very helpful to have in Logos.

Maybe it is languishing because it is not well known and/or the volumes are too new to have gathered favorable reviews.

Maybe this will help.

The Paideia series approaches each text in its final, canonical form, proceeding by sense units rather than word-by-word or verse-by-verse. Each sense unit is explored in three sections: (1) introductory matters, (2) tracing the train of thought, and (3) key hermeneutical and theological questions. The commentaries shed fresh light on the text while avoiding idiosyncratic readings and attend to theological meaning without presuming a specific theological stance in the reader. Aimed squarely at university and seminary students, this series is eminently useful for professors and preachers. It will also be of interest to theological libraries.

About the series:
Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by:

Attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs
Showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits
Commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book
Focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text
Making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly format

The following comment is in reference to Charles Talbert's commentary on Ephesians in the Paideia series:

"Here is a commentary that has about everything you really want and almost nothing you don't want! Talbert is clear, concise, informative, and interesting, providing solid exegesis and exhibiting judicious and balanced wisdom throughout. This is a most auspicious beginning to a new commentary series. I recommend it very enthusiastically."--Donald A. Hagner, George Eldon Ladd Professor of New Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary
