Product Description
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. Leading evangelical scholars G. K. Beale and D. A. 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. College and seminary students, pastors, scholars, and interested lay readers will want to add this unique commentary to their reference libraries. Contributors Craig L.

 An Abounding Blessing in One Source September 18, 2008
This book is phenomenal. It gives so much depth to the Scriptures that its first readers would have obviously saw that is missed in the English. It is both scholarly and useable for anyone who wants to explore the depth and unity of the Bible. I gave it five stars because it is worth the purchase. It is not perfect but is totally worth the money. This commentary will either go down in history as a classic or will spark other writers to write ones that will.
 A wonderful resource with valuable insights. August 30, 2008

This was an excellent commentary and in it, you will find many parallels found in the Old Testament, similar to phrases in the New Testament that Jesus used. The book is thick and it is packed with useful information, but I have not read it through entirely to date. It is a superior resource for further insights into the scriptures. I highly recommend the book.
Essential Reference Work August 17, 2008

I agree with the consensus here. COMMENTARY ON THE NEW TESTAMENT USE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT is magnificent work. In 1200 pages (double columns) the contributors discuss all the citations and probable allusions to the OT. When helpful, Qumran material, intertestamental literature, Rabbinic literature and other material is referenced as well.
My only quibble is that the introduction could have been a bit longer and discussed some of the broader issues of the NT's use of the OT. However, many of these issues are addressed throughout the various commentaries.
Commentary of NT use of OT July 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow! This text is overwhelming but in a good way. It is exhaustive. Glancing through it I see every book in the NT represented with its connections to the OT. A reference work that I plan on using in all of my NT studies. A must have for the Bible scholar, pastor, minister, or seriously deep student of the Bible.
The Whole Counsel of God May 2, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
At a recent gathering of pastors from across the USA and Canada I was surprised that one VERY well-known speaker from So. California spoke to the pastors about his preaching style, his study habits, and his commentaries. When asked about his lack of preaching from Old Testament books, this pastor noted that he is a New Testament pastor and in his 25+ years has never preached through an Old Testament book, that the era of the Old Testament has no place in New Testament kingdom work. There was a hush like I had never heard (and these are all pastors who love to talk!). This new volume is a fantastic addition to any pastor's library and helps to link the entire counsel of God. Beale and Carson have given us a tremendous gift in the unique style of this reference book and how they build all the New Testament upon the shoulders of those prophets, priests, and sages who had gone before.
As we have seen, the New Testament is replete with uses of the Old Testament. Jesus, himself, was often quoting the Old Testament and the authors show us how the knowledge, culture, and genre of Old Testament books and passages that were useful in the establishment of the church after the resurrection. The authors are quick to remind us that the authors of the New Testament Canon were using Old Testament text to establish the church and then included God's counsel from the ancient eras in their writings back to the churches at Rome, Ephesus, and more.
This book serves a very powerful niche in our sermon preparation, it gives us tools to excite our congregation about the Old Testament which seems so ancient and almost out of place to the 21st Century thinker. Beale and Carson give us the tools to energize a new generation of disciples. I cannot imagine our pastoral libraries without this new work. It serves us as pastors and it serves our congregation as it illuminates the whole counsel of God.
