NT Commentary Project Progressing Well

We are really making a push to complete the 1000+ page one-volume NT commentary this year. Thus far we have completed 3 separate edits of Matthew, Mark, Romans, and Hebrews. We expect to have the 3rd level edits done for Philippians and Revelation in the next week or two. Initial edits are nearly done for Luke and John. We hope to begin editing Acts soon.

I am extremely pleased with the quality of the work. I am convinced that this commentary will be on par with The Bible Knowledge Commentary, which is probably the leading conservative one-volume NT commentary today.

We began this project in 1990. Initially we expected to have it in print by late 1994 or early 1995. So we are about 14 years overdue. While I regret it has taken this line, I sure am thrilled with the commentary that is emerging.

At this point it looks possible that we could have 3 levels of editing done for all books by the end of July. If so, then we will spend August proofing everything (getting a number of volunteers to help with this major task). Then hopefully we can do typesetting in September or October and the printing in November. This is such a big project that it could take a lot longer. But we are hopeful.

We’d appreciate your prayers for the final stages of this massive undertaking.

Increasing in Him,
Bob_Wilkin
