A really sound, able, and original scholar, who has evidently thought much and worked long at St. Paul's Epistles. It is remarkably independant and impartial in weighing disputed passages like the above, and does so by the strict rules of philological science.
—Dr. Sanday, Professor of Exegesis, University of Oxford
Mr. Beet has achieved a work which we have long desired to see, a thoroughly scientific and scholarly commentary on one or more parts of the New Testament in which there in no unnecessary and ostentatious display of Greek . . . it is seldom indeed that we have had the pleasure of welcoming a work in which so many excellences co-exist. The introductions and dissertations are admirable.
