D.A. Carson' Reviews of New Testament Commentaries has been providing a very useful service for many years. He is an evangelical who highlights strengths of non-evangelical commentaries. His internal rating system is very helpful and his rating of individual commentaries and series is especially useful. I am looking forward to the release of the 7th edition which is due out later this year.

I have found that using Carson (NT) and Longman (OT) along with Glynn's Commentary and Reference Survey is extremely helpful in finding the best commentaries for my purpose for any particular book of the Bible. "In a multitude of Counselors there is safety." With three opinions drawn from many other opinions in reviews in journals, etc.; you really do (de facto) have a multitude of counselors. Of course, this does not eliminate the need to think, occasionally look a particular commentary up on the internet and read reviews or search the table of contents; and of course it does not eliminate the need for God's guidance; but this is a great tool to use, and God is not above using seemingly natural means to accomplish his purposes and lead us. This is a tool He has provided to help us to diligently search for other counselors (commentaries) after studying the Bible ourselves- "in a multitude of counselors there is safety"

I would recommend this book to anyone before buying New Testament commentaries because it addresses some of the issues within the commentaries treatment of the text. It tells if the original language is dealt with and where the weaknesses lie. A very comprehensive and thorough work, recommended to me by the New Testament department at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

It is a very handy tool. reviews more commentaries than I knew existed. It doesn't just limit itself to commentaries, it reviews other N.T. tools.

Oct '07 I purchased Carson's commentary survey hoping for approachable writers through his comments and suggestions. I also hoped to get a better sense of the many views, (being a beginner student) of which I think overall Carson has done well with this book. His survey seems to be generally geared for both layperson and mid-level, and also from studied believer to advanced and pastor. I appreciated his brief and varying comments on level, depth, position, accessibility, scholarship and publisher/price info. As his survey listings are many, it is important to read carefully, for one can miss a small gem of insight here and there. On approach Carson succeeds. Combined with Glynn's, some authorships offered agreements. I found this to be a good general and fair review, as journals can be inaccessible and the information is helpful for further searches.
