Readers of the New Testament often encounter quotes or allusions to Old Testament stories and prophecies that are unfamiliar or obscure. In order to fully understand the teachings of Jesus and his followers, it is important to understand the large body of Scripture that preceded and informed their thinking.

Carson have brought together a distinguished team to provide readers with a comprehensive commentary on Old Testament quotations, allusions, and echoes that appear from Matthew through Revelation.

Excellent study aid:
Beale and Carson's commentary is a wonderful guide to help place the multitude of Old Testament quotes in the New Testament in their proper context and make it possible to correctly exegete a text. I purchased this as we began a study of Hebrews in our small groups and it has helped me immensely to understand the many difficult quotes in this letter.

Helpful, But of Limited Use:

the best commentary I ever read:

Sehr zu empfehlen für jeden Bibelinteressierten, Studenten, Pastor, ...
