Ratings and reviews

I will have to tell you up front that purchasing this book electronically was a big mistake on my part. The book is not consistent...when reading the Luke commentary it will come to chapter 10, then skip somewhere else in the Bible and you are lost as to where the rest of Luke is in this book. I have neither the time or the patience so I purchased the hardcover version that I can hold in my hands. I recommend that you do the same and save yourself from disappointment. In all fairness I thought this was a great book when I first purchased it digitally and I still do, that is why I purchased the hardcover. If you are buying this for your studies or for general reading forgo the the digital version and buy the hardcover version in print.

I own this book and it is a great addition to my library.
