Lenski’s Commentary on the New Testament / January 01, 1961

Pastors and students of the Bible who seek deep and detailed engagement with the text of the New Testament have long relied on R. C. H. Lenski’s classic text – now available again.  This esteemed 20-volume commentary, originally published in 1943, is based on years of meticulous Greek studies by R.C.H. Lenski.

Lenski’s massive yet readable commentary has been deeply influential in pastoral circles that prize serious work with the Greek text, a strong theological exegesis (influenced by Lenski’s Lutheran background and conservative theological convictions), and understanding how each text relates to life in Christ.

Each passage is introduced by Lenski’s original translation, followed by his exhaustive discussion of linguistic, historical, exegetical, and thematic points. Even though its historical-critical work has been surpassed, the strong narrative quality, accessibility, and “holy reverence for the the Word of God” (Moody Monthly) of Lenski’s work have allowed his commentary to continue as an excellent resource for detailed study of the New Testament and sermon preparation.

This Accordance version of the commentary also includes many links to Robertson’s Greek Grammar (which will be quite useful for users who also own that resource in Accordance.)
