Hmm. I'm in two minds about these ones. There are some real nuggets in the set and those which, erm, I don't really want. That's the state with a lot of sets, I guess (I know) but particularly with this lot. Seeing as I've just come back from a conference on the law, I'd have to say that Edgar Andrews on Galatians is good too.
They are often edited sermons (certainly the case in all of Michael Bentley's volumes; sermons which I sat through) - so I wonder if I might spend better money on, say, the Piper Manuscript Library - £50 for 1,200 manuscripts?
Well done for EP for jumping on the Logos bus, though.
I'm wondering if it is worth getting logos for. I own genesis, romans and galatians - and I second the view that galatians is very good.
I share adrian's concern that the overall quality does not hold up across the board. Also, they seem to vary in scope, from the scholarly to the devotional.
The set is a bit of a mixed bag with some excellent contrubutions, such as the ones highlighted in the post and others not so good. Overall, if someone was setting out in the ministry and needed a good set of commentaries, then Welwyn would serve them well. Getting them from Logos would certainly be cheaper than buying them in book form.
You're right, Guy. A good starter.
Adrian and Jonathan-
We're priced this collection with your concerns in mind. For you to go out and buy all these books would cost at least $500 and probably closer to $900... I'm not sure what the exchange rate is at the moment, but you get the idea. :)
With a $299.95 Pre-Pub price, this collection is still a great deal, even if only a handful of the titles interest you. Hope this helps!
