Solid guide for the non-specialist

The NIBC series is intended to give the generalist reader a good sense of the book and of current scholarship. An educated layperson or non-Christian could read this with profit. Soards keeps the technical matters of lexicography, archaeology and grammar to endnotes. In the text itself he gives a careful, if conventional, verse-by-verse commentary. This volume surpasses Morris in the Tyndale series.
