The Epistles of Paul to the Colossians and to Philemon: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries)

Rating:
Summary: No Good
Review: It is interesting that an evangelical commentary series known for its excellent and orthodox scholarship should allow someone like N. T. Wright to write a commentary in this series. Wright is a neo-Protestant scholar who wants to "reform" the major tenents of the Reformation. Also, his New Perspectivism clouds good exegetical reasoning and theological orthodoxy. I find it hard to believe that the Tyndale series editors would include Wright as a contributor alongside renown Protestant scholars like F. F. Bruce, Donald Guthrie, Wayne Grudem, Michael Green, Douglas Moo, and John Stott.

Rating:
Summary: Scholarship and love
Review: Tom Wright wears his scholar's hat with ease as he establishes historical context and meaning. Wright's deep faith in and love for Jesus inform his writing. Any Christian reading this book with a fair and open mind will profit enormously, even if minor points of disagreement surface. Wright's other writings are wonderful as well.

Rating:
Summary: Great book
Review: Wright is a great New Testament scholar who honestly approaches the scripture and explains things clearly. In this commentary, he gives some interesting views on the background of the book (particularly Paul's theoretical imprisonment in Ephesus). Definitely worth buying.
