New Testament

In the lists below, I have generally not included commentaries unless they have proven particularly meaningful (for me). I have, instead, chosen to focus on introductions, monographs, and other writings as a way to gain a wider view of the book/topic in question. 

Regarding commentaries, there are a number of very good series available, including:
  • Sacra Pagina, D. Harrington, editor (Liturgical Press). 
  • Anchor Yale Bible Commentary, J. Collins, editor (Yale Univ. Press). 
  • Interpretation, J.L. Mays, editor ( Westminster).
