This series provides pastors, students, and teachers with substantive yet accessible Bible commentaries.

Each commentary includes the author's own translation of the Greek text and detailed interaction with the meaning of the text.

With extensive research and thought ful chapter-by-chapter exegesis, Bock leads readers through all aspects of the third Gospel - sociological, historical, and theological. The result is a guide that clearly and meaningfully brings the second part of this important New Testament book to life for contemporary readers.

As with all BECNT volumes, Luke features the author's own translation of the Greek text, detailed interaction with the original text, and a user-friendly design. This informative, balanced commentary also includes extensive introductory notes. It admirably achieves the dual aims of the series - academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility - making it a useful tool for students, professors, and pastors.
