Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: R. C. H. Lenski interprets the books of the New Testament with the thoughtful carefulness of a Greek scholar. He provides his own excellent literal translation of the Greek texts, making the Greek grammar easily identifiable in English. His commentary comes from a conservative Lutheran perspective, holding Scriptural authority highly while faithfully delving into difficult questions. The conclusions which he reaches follow the hermeneutic of allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture. On top of his excellent exegetical insight, Lenski offers pertinent information about historical context, linguistic styles, and textual analysis. He explores the original intent of the author, rhetorical themes, and the original audience to achieve a more complete understanding of the text. Lenski does not shy from investigating other interpretations, often comparing interpretations, allowing the reader to see how different interpreters come to different conclusions, as well as the merits of each interpretation. He explains rationale behind his decisions to settle on particular viewpoints. This set is truly an excellent resource for anyone looking to have a deeper understanding of Scripture. A student of the New Testament will benefit greatly from having this commentary at his or her disposal. Full set, including dust jackets for books.
