this is an awesome commentary. it is very easy to understand and easy to follow. the Acts by Mark Moore is the best, and nobody can explain Romans like Jack Cottrell.

It's clear and easy to understand. It distills everything down to the main points, kind of like a summary. It does offer a brief explanation about the meaning of key words from the original languages, giving both the original word and the English alliteration. If you do not already have a good overview commentary, this one seems decent for that.

As it had been noted: after the information explosion in the past decades, commentaries have become outdated. This recent commentary is a very good. I like the way they make sure each original word is translated the best to our English while explaining the conclusion. They make points that I miss entirely. Extensive historical data. You can tell much effort has been involved with the formation of these works. I use with the New American Commentary to compare with, then the older commentaries. User friendly.
