From the Back Cover

"Each section of the text is addressed from a clearly organized series of perspectives: overview, sources and historicity, translation, exegesis and exposition, summary, and additional notes. If there is such a thing as a user-friendly two-volume commentary on a single book, this is it!"
--Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary

"The clear and unanimous leader in the field [of Luke commentaries] is this 2,100-page two-volume set by Darrell Bock. It receives accolades for being thorough but not dense, for being conservative, and for having plenty of theological discussion that makes it especially useful for sermon preparation."
--Tim Challies, challies.com

"Bock provides a well informed, conservative treatment of Luke's Gospel that is particularly attentive to its language and use of biblical idioms. The discussion of the individual pericopes . . . is readable, alerts the reader to the principal issues involved in the interpretation of any given passage, and dialogues with a representative selection of the main secondary literature on disputed points."
--Christopher R. Matthews, Journal of Biblical Literature

"This excellent commentary on the Lucan Gospel is massive but well written, informative, and judicious. It should be a boon for pastors, priests, seminarians, and all educated general readers interested in the interpretation of the Gospels."
--Joseph A. Fitzmyer, SJ, Catholic University of America
