Read my full review here. this book is much more thorough than carson's new testament survey. however, glynn gives very little to no reason for his recommendations. i have also never heard of another book written by john glynn. this can make it hard to know whether or not he will give good recommendations. on the other hand, this book is a result of ten plus years of research in which he spent reading and consulting other well-known authors and journals for recommendations. three things i like more about this book than carson's. first, it offers much more than just new testament commentaries for recommendation. i.e. ot commentaries, bible backgrounds, theology, hermeneutics, etc. second, he gives both works he would recommend and works he would not recommend, yet still makes a distinction which he prefers. third, he gives each book its classification: evangelical, evangelical/critical, conservative/moderate, and libreral/critical. in the end, i would recommend carson's book strictly for the best recommendation of new testament commentaries and would recommend glynn's book naturally for everything else. recommended geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

However, there are two things which prevent it from being my most used source for selecting commentaries, Bible Dictionaries and other types of resources for my personal study.
1) - The newest version available is the Tenth Edition published in 2007. Many many commentaries have been released in the 12 years since this book was written.
2) - Both D.A. Carson and Tremper Longman are greatly well known and highly regarded theologians and commentary writers. John Glynn is neither. Instead he bases his recommendations on thorough research by others in journals, academic publications, and other sources. In other words, these are his recommendations, but they are not made solely based on his status and knowledge of using these books himself. That doesn't mean it isn't good, but i have a certain amount of confidence in Carson and Longman that i don't have with Glynn.
Nevertheless, he is thorough and the layout of his recommendations is much easier to use and get a handle on than the other two books are. He has apparently written a more up-to-date book in the past year or so, but it covers only recommendations for books which will help in studying the New Testament. ( )
