Description
Book SynopsisThe essays in On the Writing of New Testament Commentaries discuss historical, hermeneutical, methodological, literary, and theological questions that shape the writing of commentaries on the books of the New Testament. While these essays honor Grant R. Osborne, they also represent the first sustained effort to systematically address commentary writing in the field of New Testament studies.
Trade Review"As much as this collection of essays offer a helpful and useful “state of the union” on the writing of New Testament commentaries, the essays also reveal how commentaries serve as an excellent test case regarding the ongoing diversity within the study of the Christian (and Hebrew?) Bible." – Edward W. Klink III, in: Review of Biblical Literature (2014) [www.bookreviews.org]
