Introduction - covers issues pertaining to the whole book,
including context, date, authorship, composition, interpretive
issues, purpose, and theology. Each section of the commentary
includes: Pericope Bibliography - a helpful resource containing the
most important works that pertain to each particular pericope.
Translation - the author's own translation of the biblical text,
reflecting the end result of exegesis and attending to Hebrew and
Greek idiomatic usage of words, phrases, and tenses, yet in
reasonably good English. Notes - the author's notes to the
translation that address any textual variants, grammatical forms,
syntactical constructions, basic meanings of words, and problems of
translation. Form/Structure/Setting - a discussion of redaction,
genre, sources, and tradition as they concern the origin of the
pericope, its canonical form, and its relation to the biblical and
extra-biblical contexts in order to illuminate the structure and
character of the pericope. Rhetorical or compositional features
important to understanding the passage are also introduced here.
Comment - verse-by-verse interpretation of the text and dialogue
with other interpreters, engaging with current opinion and
scholarly research. Explanation brings together all the results of
the discussion in previous sections to expose the meaning and
intention of the text at several levels: (1) within the context of
the book itself; (2) its meaning in the OT or NT; (3) its place in
the entire canon; (4) theological relevance to broader OT or NT
issues. General Bibliography - occurring at the end of each volume,
this extensive bibliography contains all sources used anywhere in
the commentary.
