Title: Read this one in the Library and save your $ for a Heavy-Hitter
Product review: This is the closest I've ever come to reading a commentary cover to cover. Stein's contribution to the NAC series is a helpful intermediate level work. The commentary for each text unit is structured by three categories.1. Context2. Comments3. Lukan MessageThough the Comments section usually occupies the most space, the context and Lukan message section are most helpful.The author does not pay a lot of attention to grammar and syntax except in obvious places. The footnotes are often the location for his discussion of the latest scholarly controversy at hand and were almost always worth reading. Though you never felt like you exhausted a passage like with NICNT, you felt moderately informed about the major issues involved in the text at hand.To sum it up, I feel the need to read, though no longer buy, any more commentaries on the Gospel of Luke and thus recommend it to you.
