Debated between 3 and 4 star. I have print edition. The commentary just didn't qualify as a "exegetical and theological exposition" to me. It was lacking and simplistic in parts. 3 stars for that aspect - what this commentary series was suppose to be - it did not measure up. But this does not mean I did not appreciate it and get a lot out of this commentary! I did. I am glad I used it as a guide to Ezekiel. It reminded me of a good expository sermon; explanatory and practical content. 4 stars in this aspect. Also, I picked this up used at a local used book store, and was actually hoping for an interpretive approach different than my background, and it turns out it is from a distinct dispensational and premillenial view. So it matched my own views, which is fine, but was hoping for better representation of other views.
