Does anyone know of a good technical or pastoral commentary series written from a covenantal/reformed theological position?
The only modern Reformed commentary series I know of in Logos is the Baker New Testament Commentary by Hendriksen/Kistemaker.
Other Reformed series are older:
You'll notice that to get a commentary that has a particular view, you generally have to stick to single-author commentaries (or two author, in the case of BNTC).
BNTC is the best in the last hundred years, imho.

Hey, you two. [:)] I thought this was supposed to be not a thread for debate (as if there is any such thing as a thread that's open for debate).

It's not about debate — it's about de beard. [:)]

Searching my Logos library for beard found many results, including:

Debate? Matthew & George? I'm shocked that you would suggest that either of them would ever engage in a debate [:^)]

That too. Let's go fishing ! [:D]
Thanks for all your help. I've decided to grow a beard. I hope my wife doesn't mind.
That too. Let's go fishing !
You responded, "No, I am not a fish torturer."
I think I remember it because I hadn't laughed in a long time and that one broke the ice.
[:D]LOL[:D]
That too. Let's go fishing ! George, I have forgotten "many" conversations over the years but one of them did lodge in my memory center. Way back in the newsgroups I remember asking if you went fishing. You responded, "No, I am not a fish torturer." I think I remember it because I hadn't laughed in a long time and that one broke the ice. LOL
LOL
No "Carol of the Bells" on that one. It doesn't even sound like anything I would say unless in jest. I do go fishing under the right circumstances — I don't care to fish alone. I remember with great fondness going fishing with my dad "when I was a lad."
Just tell her you are following in the steps of great men you know!
Consider the advantages:
Consider the disadvantages:
You can jump in the shower and run out the door without having to shave every morning
I'm still trying to figure out why we always speak of "jumping in the shower" since that isn't a location I would associate with track and field competition. [;)]
You can jump in the shower and run out the door without having to shave every morning (I, however, prefer to get dressed first)
Isaiah 20:3 One "man of God" running around naked is more than enough.
You don't risk cutting your own throat even though you may occasionally feel like doing so
Proverbs 23:2 I am not a man of great appetite. Thus, the beard grows.
Although you need to trim it a bit to keep it presentable, you can do that at any time when you're not busy — the same goes for shaving the neck and cheekbones
Naw.... Don't worry, be Jewish:
These "Covenant Theologians" are VERY happy!
Consider the disadvantages: …The white stripes reveal your age
Not my problem since I'll only be 39 on my next birthday. [;)]
It's too bad that the original topic is so quickly forgotten.

I haven't forgotten the original topic. What was it? [:D]
It is not forgotten Randall. Todd's response exhausted the answers. I added my agreement to keep the thread topic near the top of the list. With the additional bantering this thread has floated near the top longer than many quickly answered questions normally do.
I was hoping someone would bring up a few more Logos resources but I was reluctant to because my definitions of "Covenant Theology" and "Reformed Theology" are not exactly the same as self-described "Reformed" folk.
I welcome any additions you have to the short list we have so far. Hendriksen and Kistemaker have always been in my top three NT commentaries.
edit: at the risk of straying by offering non-commentary resources, I am looking forward to this Pre-Pub:

To add to my previous comment, if "expositional" commentaries (aka. homiletical commentaries), which consist of sermon series edited for publication, are under consideration, then Boice's Expositional Commentaries are also a recommendation. They are not technical but would be considered pastoral.

In that case, I would add Albert Barnes' series to the list.
Here is another series.
Yaaahhh.....I got one for you.[G] It's called the Bible[I]
If you get your theology directly from the Word, you will not have a debate!
Preaching the Word is Reformed, not sure how covenantal it is.
Same goes for the Opening Up series.
You will find Reformed/Covenantal individual volumes in many series such as Word, NICNT/NICOT, Pillar etc.
The guy on the left is a famous actor. I don't know the guy on the right.
Why in the world does he need to trim his beard?
especially after achieving the above round number!
Hey, now ! We're not here to discuss his waistline. [:)]
I remember asking if you went fishing.
Thomas - It's getting close to that time of year when you will have to break the ice if you want to go fishing (at least in your neck of the woods).
The guy on the left is a famous actor.
If I am not mistaken, the actor retired from the silver screen to dedicate his time to full-time Torah studies.
