A “Must Have” For Your Library!

This volume in the “Reading” series is one of the best treatments of the text available in a format that is helpful to both clergy and laity. Having taken Dr Talbert’s class on Luke-Acts at Wake Forest back in the late 70s, I can attest to the level of scholarship and study that preceded the writing of these commentaries. I have many commentaries in my professional library, and yet these books are still my “go to”! Get the whole set! Also now volumes in the Old Testament series.
