The book concludes with a useful "Best Buys" section where Carson indicates the most valuable works for each individual New Testament book.EXCERPTTheologically I am an evangelical, but many of the positive assessments offered in these notes are in connection with books written from the vantage of some other theological tradition: the usefulness of a commentary sometimes turns on something other than the theological stance of its author-assuming, of course, commentaries are read critically, as theyshould be, whatever one\u2019s theological heritage.
