"My favorite New Testament commentary is that of R.C.H. Lenski... I profit greatly from his sane and spiritually sensitive exposition. You do not have to be a Greek scholar to benefit from Lenski."

—Warren Wiersbe, author, 'BE' series

"A great work of exegesis, every page the result of long meditation, based on rich scholarship, warm with holy reverence for the Word of God."

—Moody Monthly

"Excellent but most comprehensive for those who have some basic familiarity with Greek."

—Beth Moore, founder, Living Proof Ministries

"A conservative, very extensive exposition based upon an exegesis of the Greek text. Arminian in doctrine, maintains a rigid approach to Greek grammar, and follows an amillennial interpretation of eschatology. Exceedingly helpful background material and abounds in good preaching values"

—The Minister's Library

"For works on the Greek text, the Exegete will be served well with the work by R. C. H. Lenski"

—Criswell Theological Review

In this outstanding commentary series, Richard C. H. Lenski interprets the books of the New Testament on the basis of careful and thorough exegetical research. The author, a meticulous student of Greek, provides an original, literal translation of the text. Section by section he examines carefully the background and essential teaching contained in each portion of the New Testament. Writing from a conservative point of view, Lenski uses available sources of exegetical study. He also brings to light new interpretations of Scripture which will be of special interest to the preacher. The author's purpose is to answer the question 'What does this portion of the Bible say to us?' He sees the answer to the question against the background of the whole message of the Word of God.
