Rating:  - Makes the simple SO very complicated!
I had to purchase this book for a Master's level course. It is the most complicated, wordy, unclear text I have ever read. I am a TEACHER and I have never even seen many of the words used in this book, much less understand their meaning! Addtionally, many passages use such complex ideology and terminology that you really have no idea what the authors are trying to say. Unless you HAVE to buy this book, DON'T!
Rating:  - Dry
This was one of the texts for a recent seminary course and it's perhaps one of the most boring texts I've encountered in my academic studies. Not only do the authors fail to hold the reader's interest, the layout of the text on the page is hard on the eyes. Overall it's just a chore to read. There are so many better textbooks out there (and that's what this is in the worst sense of the word) I can't imagine why anyone would choose this one!
Rating: - Pure Academics
This is one of my text books for school. I have to hand it to the authors they really did some research to put this book together. So why did I give it such a low rating? It was a mind-numbing read. Though I was able to glean some interesting stuff from it, it was mainly all academic knowledge. If that's your cup of tea then you will love it. For me, I prefer books that will help me grow closer to God in righteousness, love, and truth. This just didn't do it for me.
Rating:  - Required Resource for Pastors
This book is extensively footnoted and articulated by the best NT scholarship available. Douglas Moo and Donald Carson have given the church a profound a valuable gift. Especially helpful are critiques of liberal, neo-conservative, and post-conservative speculations and assertions which would seek to decompose the canonical NT documents. This book is full of thoughtful common sense and articulate scholarship for the average pastor, Bible student, or advanced layperson. I found the Introduction ... Read More
Rating: - Very informative
The book gives great details on each book of the new testament. I actually transferred some of the information over into my bible. I really enjoyed the read. I had to read it for a class, but really enjoyed it once I got started.
