Abstract
The past two decades have witnessed an explosion of new theological commentary series and theological commentaries. As we near the end of the second decade of theological commentary production, it is beneficial to take a step back to evaluate the contributions of each theological commentary series and how the commentary genre continues to be a helpful form for the development of NT theology. This paper reviews and evaluates four commentaries from each of the Belief, Brazos Theological, and Two Horizons New Testament commentary series according to (1) the aims and goals of the series, and (2) how each commentary attempts to actualize the stated ends of the series.
Highlights
The past two decades have witnessed an explosion of new theological commentary series and theological commentaries
The editors and contributors to these series view the commentary genre as well-suited to accomplish the goals of both the broader and more specific projects related to theological interpretation and hermeneutics
As some of the early commentary series end and new ones emerge, we should take stock of what we have learned from the production of these kinds of commentaries and, how the commentary form can continue to contribute to the larger project of NT theology
Summary
The aims and goals of each theological commentary series are distinct, they all purportedly participate in the common project of (re)learning how to interpret Scripture theologically. The editors and contributors to these series view the commentary genre as well-suited to accomplish the goals of both the broader and more specific projects related to theological interpretation and hermeneutics. As we near the end of the second decade of theological commentary production, it is beneficial to take a step back to evaluate the unique contributions of each theological commentary series. As some of the early commentary series end and new ones emerge, we should take stock of what we have learned from the production of these kinds of commentaries and, how the commentary form can continue to contribute to the larger project of NT theology.
