Abstract
"RECOMMENDING commentaries is almost as difficult as writing them. Different people look for different qualities: some demand painstaking detail, others an inspiring grasp of a whole argument; some want scholarly caution, others daring novelty; some expect sermons ready-made, others merely a key to the correct understanding of the written word. Any choice of commentaries must be, in consequence, to some degree subjective, and when space is limited, as it is on the present occasion, a writer cannot hide his prejudices in a complete catalogue that will suit all tastes. In dealing with the New Testament we naturally turn first to the study of the Synoptic Gospels. The acceptance of the priority of St. Mark by the great majority of Protestant scholars has led to much concentration on its sixteen (or fifteen and a half!) short chapters, with the result that we have so many extremely good ·Commentaries that the difficulty is not to find an adequate one to suggest, but to decide which of a number of really satisfactory volumes to omit"
