Reviews

[Joe Stevens]

A solid commentary that feels a bit old and overly pious. The intro is solidly pro-Peter as the author of the first of the books and and pro-Jude for the second. The reasons given are solid conservative, but maybe a bit contrived. The question of why 2 Peter 2 and Jude are so similar is addressed though not much is decided save that there might have been a text from which they both drew.
The commentary itself feels a bit like a sermon but often has good information and sometimes quite clever comments. It is written at a level that is usually easily understandable.

[Philip Brown]

Good!

[Vanjr]

Good, solid, conservative (in the Christian sense) commentary and two more obscure books in the Bible. A little older (1987 copyright). Short and in line with the Tyndale series. Recommend.

[GreatHeart Reviews]

A great scholarly commentary

This commentary is packed full of deep scholarly exploration and application of Scripture. The commentary opens up the cultural background behind the text, weaving it together with history , scholarship, and church tradition.

[Chris Comis]

Green's exegesis is pretty basic throughout the commentary. Nothing fancy or provocative, just a fairly straightforward treatment of these two books. Pretty evenhanded.
