Curtis Hefner’s Reviews > Jewish New Testament Commentary: A Companion Volume to the Jewish New Testament > Status Update

It has taken me about 6 months of treating this book like a course textbook to get to this point. All of the commentary has been enlightening and cohesive. When Stern wanders away from the text, it is only to grab an enlightening passage from the Talmud, Mishna, Midrash, or other Jewish or Messianic Jewish source. The result further explains the cultural aspects which escape philological illumination.
