    This book is long (1152 pages). It can be read from beginning to end; but I suspect that most readers will not use the book in that way. It is reference book. Its best use is to trace the use of the Old Testament (OT) in a particular New Testament (NT) book. In other words, how did a particular NT writer make use of the OT in his NT book? The answer to this question is a continual fascination, especially for modern Bible readers who have forgotten that for first-century Christians, "the Scriptures" were the books of the OT. For example, look at how this book documents the use of the OT in the NT book of Revelation. This chapter alone makes this book worthy of purchase. This book opens a door into the mind of the first-century Christians, and how they interpreted the OT. For many Christians, this will be an eye-opening experience. The book is well documented with an extensive bibliography. Not many books have even attempted what this book has accomplished well. I recommend the book highly. Clear your calendar, and get ready for some serious Bible study.

    This commentary is the "go-to" commentary to understand the New Testament. The quotes are explained as well as the allusions. One can see that the New Testament is grounded in the Old Testament. The old covenant is changed with Jesus but remains the ground level of the new covenant. I cannot even begin to express how useful this commentary is for Bible study. I would recommend that every Bible student get this book.

    This commentary is an outstanding reference work and does an amazing job of relating how the NT uses, or put to use, the OT.On the whole the authors of each entry explain where the quote or allusion comes from, comments upon its meaning in both its OT & NT context, and then closes by pulling it all together, often with great insight.If you are a layman as I am, the writing can be a bit challenging in a few places, but looking up a word or two here and there can pay huge dividends in the end.This is a unique reference work and a wonderful commentary that can enrich your personal study, liven up any Bible study, add substantially to any teaching or papers students would write. Though I am not a Pastor, I would think it could also help with sermon preparation.

    It was a gift to our son who is a pastor and he was looking forward to using it for reference very much as an added aid to teaching the Scripture more fully.
