R.C.H. Lenski’s 20-volume Commentary on the New Testament is praised for the way it throughly handles interpretive issues while applying thoughtful exegesis. Written from a conservative Lutheran perspective, Lenski’s commentary is in-depth and exhaustive, discussing various ways that a passage could be interpreted before offering his own opinion. Lenski was also a dedicated student of Greek, and he carefully addresses the Greek text where it is relevant, making this a great commentary for original language students.
