Nathan, I'm in the market for a good New Testament commentary--how strongly would you recommend Raymond Brown's book? Are there others you'd recommend? Anyone else have any recommendations? Thanks in advance. --[[User:RobertC|RobertC]] 04:59, 25 Feb 2006 (UTC) | Nathan, I'm in the market for a good New Testament commentary--how strongly would you recommend Raymond Brown's book?

| + | Robert, I am not such a great person for this. I like Raymond Brown, although his work is less of a commentary than a text book on New Testament studies. For a straight commentary, I went with the New Jerome Biblical Commentary. My understanding is that the first edition of this commentary was essentially the first English-language post-Vatican II Catholic commentary. It contains a nihil obstat from the Catholic Church. In other words, it is scholarlly and sophisticated, but also religiously sensitive in a Catholic sort of way. I really like it. --[[User:Nathan Oman|Nathan Oman]] 17:51, 27 Feb 2006 (UTC) | ||
