What our customer's say!

"An Abounding Blessing in One Source", This book is phenomenal. It gives so much depth to the Scriptures that its first readers would have obviously saw that is missed in the English. It is both scholarly and useable for anyone who wants to explore the depth and unity of the Bible. I gave it five stars because it is worth the purchase. It is not perfect but is totally worth the money. This commentary will either go down in history as a classic or will spark other writers to write ones that will.

"A wonderful resource with valuable insights.", This was an excellent commentary and in it, you will find many parallels found in the Old Testament, similar to phrases in the New Testament that Jesus used. The book is thick and it is packed with useful information, but I have not read it through entirely to date. It is a superior resource for further insights into the scriptures. I highly recommend the book.

"Essential Reference Work", I agree with the consensus here. COMMENTARY ON THE NEW TESTAMENT USE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT is magnificent work. In 1200 pages (double columns) the contributors discuss all the citations and probable allusions to the OT. When helpful, Qumran material, intertestamental literature, Rabbinic literature and other material is referenced as well.

My only quibble is that the introduction could have been a bit longer and discussed some of the broader issues of the NT's use of the OT. However, many of these issues are addressed throughout the various commentaries.


"Commentary of NT use of OT", Wow! This text is overwhelming but in a good way. It is exhaustive. Glancing through it I see every book in the NT represented with its connections to the OT. A reference work that I plan on using in all of my NT studies. A must have for the Bible scholar, pastor, minister, or seriously deep student of the Bible.

"The Whole Counsel of God", At a recent gathering of pastors from across the USA and Canada I was surprised that one VERY well-known speaker from So. California spoke to the pastors about his preaching style, his study habits, and his commentaries. When asked about his lack of preaching from Old Testament books, this pastor noted that he is a New Testament pastor and in his 25+ years has never preached through an Old Testament book, that the era of the Old Testament has no place in New Testament kingdom work. There was a hush like I had never heard (and these are all pastors who love to talk!). This new volume is a fantastic addition to any pastor's library and helps to link the entire counsel of God. Beale and Carson have given us a tremendous gift in the unique style of this reference book and how they build all the New Testament upon the shoulders of those prophets, priests, and sages who had gone before.

As we have seen, the New Testament is replete with uses of the Old Testament. Jesus, himself, was often quoting the Old Testament and the authors show us how the knowledge, culture, and genre of Old Testament books and passages that were useful in the establishment of the church after the resurrection. The authors are quick to remind us that the authors of the New Testament Canon were using Old Testament text to establish the church and then included God's counsel from the ancient eras in their writings back to the churches at Rome, Ephesus, and more.

This book serves a very powerful niche in our sermon preparation, it gives us tools to excite our congregation about the Old Testament which seems so ancient and almost out of place to the 21st Century thinker. Beale and Carson give us the tools to energize a new generation of disciples. I cannot imagine our pastoral libraries without this new work. It serves us as pastors and it serves our congregation as it illuminates the whole counsel of God.

"Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament ", This is the commentary we have been waiting for and it is not a disappointment!

"Very helpful with Sunday School preparation", I have only begun to delve into the depths of this book, but I love it already. I am the Sunday School superintendent at my church and teach 5/6 graders. I love being able to understand the text I am teaching so I can explain the OT/NT continuity to my students. You need this on your shelf if you do any Bible teaching.

"Finally - the resource we've been waiting for", An excellent resource and indispensible companion to any group or individual study of the NT. These authors are the cream of the crop and each tackles a NT book which they have already spent years studying and writing about. Although it's primarily a reference book, I have read the sections on "John" (Andreas Kostenberger is considered one of the preeminent Johnine scholars in the world today) and "Revelation" and was very impressed. I did not find it overly academic and believe it would be accessabile to anyone who is serious about studying the Bible.

"Develop your hermeneutics", This book is unusual in that it is both extremely solid and fairly unique. Often in theological circles, a person will appreciate a certain book, only to have someone else say, "Oh, there's a much better book on the same topic."

This one isn't likely to have that problem for a while. For too long, theologians have dodged the problem of knowing how much we can use OT references in the NT to guide not only our understanding of the passage, but also our hermeneutical approach to the various types of OT references.

For instance, how will you know if a phrase is an OT reference, an early church hymn, or the author's own voice? Does the author have solid hermeneutical reasons for quoting that particular passage? Does he use it to refer to a character trait of God, or to make a theological argument?

This book answers those questions and more. It is so easy to use that I would recommend it for everyone from a college student leading a small group Bible study to a Sunday School teacher to a pastor preparing sermons for his congregation. I bought the book fairly recently, and have already used it for Sunday School classes, a sermon, and seminary papers.

Because of its uniqueness and theological health, it also makes a great gift for church leaders, small group leaders, and anyone in between. if you are a person looking to get a good present for that Bible teacher in your life, this is a terrific place to start!

Enjoy the book, and keep pushing to better understand God's wonderful and inerrant Word.

"Great Guide for Specialized Bible Study or Pastoral Use.", `Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament', edited by G. K. Beale and D. A. Carson supports the idea that given any approach to the examination of the New Testament you may think of, someone has written a book about it. And a superb book it is, if you have need for an examination of this subject from almost every angle. I say almost, because there is actually one thing I would like to have seen in this book, and it is not there. More on this anon.
For the lay reader, be aware that this is a scholarly book, with all the Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and (I suspect) even Coptic terms used freely, just when I've gotten in the habit of tracking down Greek, I have to deal with two even more difficult languages. I mention that primarily for those who are allergic to footnotes and phrases in languages other than English. Otherwise, I am delighted in how easy the reading is in all the contributions from eighteen (18) major scholars on the New Testament.
Much of this is attributable to the marching orders given to the writers by the two editors. This list of guidelines makes the diverse contributions very uniform, which contributes to the value of this book as the guide to a specialized type of Bible study based on this book's subject.
Anyone who has tracked down more than a handful of OT passages used in the NT will realize that the NT writers often take some liberties with their interpretations, reading in a prophesy about Jesus which, in the original text actually referred to something completely different. And, one has also run across a wide range of different ways in which OT texts are used, from `exact' quotes to paraphrases to allusions.
The editors address this range by asking all authors to address their OT citations from at least five different points of view. These are:
1. What is the NT context of the citation? What is the genre and literary structure of the book or chapter?
2. What is the OT context of the citation? Do these Markan citations come directly from Exodus, for example, or are they quoted from Isaiah's use of Exodus verses?
3. How was the OT quote handled or interpreted by Second Temple Judaism, or early Judaism in general?
4. From what text is the OT quotation copied. The Septuagint (LXX), the Masoretic text, or a Targum (scripture translated into Aramaic or Coptic).
5. What is the ultimate use or connection being made by the NT author's use of the OT. Is it simply to emote a connection, is it a use of a common OT idiom, is it a parable use, shorthand to evoking an OT story, or is there a belief that events in NT times fulfill a specific OT prophecy.
Of course, many commentaries on individual NT books do this as well, but most do not go into detail on points 2, 3, and 4.
In looking at those parts of the NT I know best, I find this book delivers everything it promises on these five points, but that the book cannot replace good commentaries and study Bibles for NT books. In looking at one of the most famous uses of OT scripture in Luke, at 4:18 - 19, where Jesus teaches from Isaiah 61:1 - 2, the authors, David Pao and Eckhard Schnabel cover all the editors' points admirably, including references to important opinions by famous scholars such as Rudolph Bultmann. For this passage and for all others in this chapter on Luke, the actual passage is NOT presented in any translation. Therefore, one has to have a copy of the Bible open to the passage, as you read the authors' interpretation of it. Less important is the fact that the explanation of this section of Luke on Jesus' teaching in the Nazareth synagogue says nothing about the puzzling climax, where the congregation turns on Jesus. But that is a logical limitation of the approach, and is not relevant to the subject of the book.
The introduction to Lucan passages was illuminating, as it tells us that even though one of Luke's primary objectives was to show the resolution of OT prophesies, Luke actually uses fewer OT quotes than Matthew. This is rarely discussed in commentaries on Luke.
So, especially with regard to the synoptic Gospels, this would be an excellent book to use as a guide to OT references in the NT. For the scholar, there is the usual tower of bibliographical references after each article, plus the usual index to Biblical citations at the back of the book. There was just one thing I wanted which is missing. This is a `reverse' index, if you will, of OT books, with the number and locations of where verses are cited in the NT. The reason for wishing such an index is as a guide to selecting which OT books may best be studied together, as with Luke and Deuteronomy (some commentators claim the 10 chapter journey of Jesus to Jerusalem is patterned after Deuteronomy).
Ultimately, this is a great reference if you make a habit of studying NT scriptures in depth, as either a pastor or bible study teacher.
