Very Dry, Uninspired
I've read 4 other NIV Commentaries, all of which were great. This one, however, is dry and difficult to get through.

An ok commentary

Ya se está haciendo una rutina en mi vida estudiar comentario bíblicos sobre las últimas cartas del Nuevo Testamento. Este estudio, en concreto, me ha gustado porque de cada capítulo de las epístolas hace una división en apartados: primero explica el texto en sí, yendo al original y al contexto; despúes "construye puentes" reflexionando sobre cómo podemos aplicar esas palabras a la vida actual; y finalmente le da un significado contemporáneo al capítulo. Lo considero completo y útil.
