Opinions on Eedrdmans Companion and Right Doctrine from the Wrong Text?
Both of these are on March Madness.
Eerdmans seems to be basically a one-volume commentary, although one that might have very useful maps, charts, etc. I have several other one-volumes (as well as WBC), so I'm mostly interested in the visuals.
Opinions?
Also, is the Beale edited volume The Right Doctrine from the Wrong Text? useful for non-Protestants? Or it it largely an internal Evangelical discussion?
Opinions?

Ben, it turns out that I have this companion (one of those "who knew?") volumes... I've had a look and I once consulted it to find out who the Herodians in Mark's gospel were. It actually looks like a useful one volume "intro" to the Bible, but doesn't go into huge depth. In case it's useful, I have copied out the maps index:
Maps
The World of the PatriarchsPhysical Features of Palestine
Archaeological Sites
The Route of the Exodus
Settlement and Tribal Territories
The Empire of David and Solomon
Jerusalem at the Time of David and Solomon
The Divided Monarchy—Israel and Judah
Judah after the Fall of Israel
Empires of the 6th Century B.C.
Israel under Persia (Postexilic)
Israel under the Maccabees
The Roman World in the 1st Century A.D.
Palestine in New Testament Times
Galilee at the Time of Jesus
Paul’s Journeys according to Acts
Prominent Roads and Ship Routes of the Eastern Roman Empire
The Two Galatias
The Churches of 1 Peter and Revelation
It has some other nice photos of architectural features and manuscripts, but I'd say it's aimed at beginners.

Opinions?The first Amazon review seems honest and interesting, and suggests that the volume contains more essays from the minority point of view, which are arguments that the New Testament writers used Old Testament texts contextually.

I don't have this one, but even at its current price, I'm not entirely convinced I'd opt in. Am open to be persuaded by others who have the volume.

I scanned through Genesis and there seems to be 7 photos all b/w I can say I think this is a good resource. Obviously if pictures are your main concern others may be better.

I just picked up the Beale volume. Since he is partially concerned with the "Old" Testament, the discount %age he's at this year is probably the best we'll ever see. Tanakh scholars consistently get short shrift in this maddening hoopla.

Agreed, although I see it as playing to the base. (Heck, I'm sure there's enough support that a Logos-like company could survive just selling stuff on Romans.)
