Description : This commentary series is established on the
presupposition that the theological character of the New Testament documents
calls for exegesis that is sensitive to theological themes as well as to the
details of the historical, linguistic, and textual context. Such thorough
exegetical work lies at the heart of these volumes, which contain detailed
verse-by-verse commentary preceded by general comments on each section and
subsection of the text.An important aim of the NIGTC authors is to interact with
the wealth of significant New Testament research published in recent articles
and monographs. In this connection the authors make their own scholarly
contributions to the ongoing study of the biblical text.
The text on which these commentaries are based is the UBS
Greek
New Testament, edited by Kurt Aland and others. While engaging the major
questions of text and interpretation at a scholarly level, the authors keep in
mind the needs of the beginning student of Greek as well as the pastor or
layperson who may have studied the language at some time but does not now use it
on a regular basis.

Carson ’s
“Best Buy” on the Pastoral Epistles. “The NIGTC
commentary by George W. Knight III lies in the ‘must’ column. It is cautions,
conservative, and thoughtful.”
