Reviews

Here is a great learning worn lightly and communicated graciously. Throughout the tone is warm and edifying... The excurses are superb...Not only is this commentary a great addition to the series, I cheerfully predict it will be of service to the church for many decades to come. It is pitched at the right level to be a really useful commentary.'
