The Bible Knowledge Background Commentary : Matthew-Luke by Evans, Craig A - This resource will give you interesting insights and is worth checking on individual passages
While Evans shows high expertise even when terse, one will find other works explaining far more to make their time fruitful. After a brief introduction (1–16), general summaries of each section are followed by added notes on a few key details, with bypassing of many, such as Anna’s 84 years in 2:36–38, and problems of interpretation in 11:5–7. Evans gives authorship by Luke “provisional acceptance” and feels that this issue is not vital to how this gospel is interpreted (3). James Rosscup - A lucid study, often of help on problem texts but cursory at times. Luke by Evans, Craig A., The New International Commentary on the New Testament Contains numerous references to Jewish literature as well as pertinent comments on the text. StuartĬyril Barber - One of the better works in this series. Patterns for power : parables of Luke by Briscoe, D. In more recent years both volumes have been put into one book.
Both books are excellent in making parables “come alive” and making readers think. These are well-done but not treated in as much detail. But the second book treats ten further parables (7:36–50 and others in 9:51–19:48, Luke’s travel narrative). The second book continues to be rich in peasant cultural background, with data not available to many who study the parables. Particularly insightful are his remarks on Luke 15 (the triad of parables) and Luke 11 (Friend at Midnight). His data is based on studies while teaching for many years in the mid-East, also on extensive travels, correspondence, and scholarly probing into the literature. James Rosscup - Bailey discusses four Lukan parables at length in the first book, making a great contribution as to cultural data that opens up the parables. Poet and peasant : a literary-cultural approach to the parables in Luke by Bailey, Kenneth The author did the famous Greek-English lexicon and two books on alleged contradictions.īible commentary: the Gospel according to St.
James Rosscup - This conservative commentary is a detailed work in the Greek and is well-written. THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO INTELLIGENTLY " COMMENT ON THE COMMENTARIES!"
