Forthcoming Commentaries

| | Comments (150) | TrackBacks (2)
This is a list of all the information I've been able to find about forthcoming commentaries on books of the Bible. I have organized it by commentary series in this post, but if you'd like to see the same information organized by book of the Bible, you can find that here.

If you have any information about forthcoming commentaries that you do not see here, please leave a comment or send me an email at the link at the top of the sidebar. I don't necessarily remove volumes just because they are published, but if something is out and I don't have a publication year listed, I do appreciate knowing about it so I can update that.

I also have an ongoing series reviewing commentaries, which you can find here.

From here on is the initial post that led to all this:

I was browsing around the web last week during a break from grading, and I happened upon three or four pieces of information about forthcoming commentaries that I thought were worth collecting in one place. Don't ask me where I found all this. It's all publicly available, but it's all from different places, and I didn't save links to any of them. Some of it was from scholars' online vitas or their institutions' descriptions of their ongoing research.

The NICOT series is one of my favorites, and one important book that I haven't even had an inkling of who would be doing it is Psalms. I've found out that three authors will be working on it together. The introduction and commentary on Psalms 1-41 will be by Rolf Jacobsen. The commentary on Psalms 42-63 and 107-150 will be by Nancy deClaisse-Walford. The commentary on Psalms 64-106 will be by Beth LaNeel Tanner. I'm unfamiliar with all of these people, but a few web searches indicates that they seem to be earlier in their careers. DeClaisse-Walford has already published two books on the Psalms, and Beth LaNeel Tanner has at least one. The NICOT Psalms will only be one volume, which is a little disappointing given that it's three times as long as Genesis, which they devoted two volumes to, and Waltke's two-volume Proverbs that just came out is as complete as anyone would ever want a commentary to be, on a book a third as long as the Psalms. Several of the most recent commentaries in this series give as much depth as anything but the most technical commentaries might give, but it seems they won't be doing that for the longest book in the Bible (according to how the English canon counts it, anyway; the Psalms present themselves as five books in the original).

Last I had heard, Douglas Stuart would be doing the NICOT on Zechariah. I was really looking forward to this, because I've liked his work on Hosea-Jonah (WBC) and Malachi (in a three-volume series on the Minor Prophets edited by Thomas McComiskey), but apparently it's been reassigned to Mark Boda, who released the NIVAC on Haggai-Zechariah last year. I haven't looked at Boda's work, but almost all the Old Testament NIVACs have been excellent, and I've come to trust the Old Testament editors for that series. I'm guessing this NICOT volume will be pretty good. The Old Testament editors have been making good decisions in the later volumes. [Update: I have since heard that Stuart is revising his Hosea-Jonah for WBC and doing Micah-Malachi for them while he's at it. I don't know if it will be a revision of the original or a new commentary entirely. I suspect the latter. Either way, we get to see Stuart's work not only on Zechariah but on all the Minor Prophets he hasn't commented on previously.]

Boda is also working on the EBC Judges for the revamped EBC series (that keeps getting delayed). The only other EBC replacement I know of will be Andreas Koestenberger's Pastoral Epistles, which I'm certain will be of the highest quality. As for Boda's Judges, that book seriously needs better coverage by evangelicals, so this can only help. [Boda's vita also lists him working on a Chronicles commentary for a series abbreviated NLT by Tyndale and Wheaton and a commentary on Psalms for a series called LXXC with Brill, Leiden. I have no idea what either series is.] As of this writing, I still don't know who will do the NICOT Chronicles, but this doesn't seem to be that. [Update: See the list below for the assignments for some of the above.]

Duane Christensen will be doing Nahum for the Anchor Bible series. That commentary was originally assigned to someone else whose name slips me. Christensen did the Word volumes on Deuteronomy, and most of his work has been well accepted. He developed a controversial view of Deuteronomy as a song, and those elements of his commentary haven't won much support, but the rest of his work is highly regarded. I imagine this will be as good as the other Anchor Bible minor prophet commentaries, which are some of the best in the series.

The Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms (BCOTWS) is a brand new series. As far as I know, Richard Hess's commentary on the Song of Songs is the only one out. Last time I checked Baker's site, they hadn't announced any particular volumes by other people, but I found names for the entire rest of the series. Further volumes are scheduled. Tremper Longman will be doing Job and Proverbs (Update: Proverbs is now out). John Goldingay will be doing Psalms. Craig G. Bartholomew will be doing Ecclesiastes. I guess this means they won't be covering Lamentations, which I might have thought could fit into a series like this, but then Psalms isn't mentioned either, and I doubt they'd not do that withg the name of the series being what it is. [Update: Tremper Longman says plans are afoot for further series on the historical books and the Pentateuch.]

I am not sure where you got your data on the NAC Ephesians commentary, but that will actually be Dr. Paul Wolfe. He is a prof at my seminary and I am certain of that one.

And you are correct that Ellis for 1 Cor in the ICC is E. Earle. He also is a prof at my seminary and I had him for 1 Corinthians and he was working on it.

Amazon lists the NAC Ephesians as David Dockery, and John Glynn's commentary review (I believe) mentioned his name with it as well. I know I've seen it from multiple sources. They must have originally contracted it to him and then switched it for some reason. I'm discovering that that happens fairly often in commentary series.

I'll update the post to reflect this information. For future reference, I'll do that with any further information people give me, so if you notice someone pointing out something wrong with the post that isn't wrong with the post it may be because I fixed it after they left the comment.

Great post Jeremy, this is a very useful resource.

BTW McKnight is doing the NICNT on James (see my question to him in the comments on his blog:
http://jesuscreed.blogspot.com/2005/06/reflections-on-newbigins-proposal.html)

I knew one of the people working on James for either BECNT or NICNT had died, and I knew McKnight had taken over that project. I put him down for the wrong one. Donald Verseput, who was assigned to the NICNT series for James, did indeed die not too long ago, and McKnight is taking over for him. Dan McCartney is, as far as I can tell, still around and working on the BECNT James.

Thanks for compiling all this information. We can look forward to some wonderful commentaries.

The Zondervan web site has some more information on the EBC update:

John: David W. Pao
Romans: Donald Hagner
I Cor: Verlyn Verbrugge
Gal: Donald Garlington
Eph: William W. Klein
Phil: Todd D. Still
Heb.: Richard T. France
James: George H. Guthrie
1,2 Peter, Jude: Daryl Charles
1,2,3 John: Tom Thatcher

For some of the stronger NT contributions from the original version, the authors remain unchanged---Carson on Matthew, Liefeld on Luke, Longenecker on Acts, Murray Harris on 2 Cor, Alan Johnson on Rev.

I read on the web that Colin Kruse is working on a Romans commentary for the Pillar Series

Doug, where is the breakdown of authors on the Zondervan website? All I can find is the list of which ones are in which volume, and it doesn't seem to match up to the number of books covered in all the cases. Are you just extrapolating from those listings?

According to Tremper Longman's CV, he's got a number of projects whose series I can't tell. He says he's doing Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs for a Tyndale series, but I don't know if that's a replacement for the two volumes already in that series or for another series that I've heard rumors about. He lists the Baker Proverbs volume as 2005 and Job as 2007. He's also doing Jeremiah and Lamentations for NIBC. He has Exodus for Eerdmans, due Dec 06. Is this NICOT? Carpenter's got pulled away from that series for some reason, to be published as a stand-alone from the same publisher. He's doing Job, Amos, and Micah for the EBC revision. How does this guy do so much?

Jeremy, yes, I was extrapolating from what was listed at the Zondervan site. I compared the author lists from the old and new versions and made these assumptions:

1) Authors are listed in the order in which the books they are working on appear in the canon.

2) The books are divided up in the same combinations as in the first version--e.g., the same person doing 1 and 2 Peter and Jude.

3) Authors repeated from the first version are associated with the same books as before, perhaps updating their own earlier work.

I haven't yet tried to look up vitae to verify my guesses.

Greetings,

Where did you get the information that the BECNT Galatians commentary is by Moises Silva? I note from a page by Douglas Moo that's he's doing it.

See http://www.wheatongrad.com/prospective/degrees/PhD_Website/phd_pdfs/Moo_bio.pdf

Silva is listed in the list of forthcoming volumes just before the title page in Schreiner's Romans commentary. They've since removed the forthcoming list, since too many of them have changed. I guess this is just another that I hadn't heard about. The Colossians PNTC is another one I didn't know about. The list I saw had Gerald Hawthorne for that one.

Hi Jeremy, you obviously spent a lot of work on this. Here are some additions/corrections I am aware of:

  • NICOT Psalms will probably end up being more than one volume. Waltke's Proverbs was supposed to be one, but they extended it when he submitted over the word count he was given. I imagine the same will happen with psalms.
  • NICOT Chronicles: Keith Bodner
  • Hermeneia Chronicles: Ralph Klein
  • The NLT that Boda is working on is a commentary for the New Living Translation geared for a popular audience.
  • Apollos Chronicles is Rodney Duke
  • I am doing the EBC Chronicles, and while I have a list of other contributors I don't think I am supposed to make it public! I can say that my colleague in Edmonton, Jerry Shepherd, is doing the Ecclesiates replacement (he is also working on part of the NAC Psalms).
  • I hope that Armerding will get the NICOT volume on Judges out, though I know he was also assigned the WBC on Judges, which was taken away from him.
  • Hossfeld and Zenger are doing the Hermeneia on Psalms; the first excellent volume just came out (Psalms 2)
I think that is all I know... I remember chatting with Boda at CSBS about the psalms project he is working on, but I can't recall what it was for specifically (I'll ask him next time we chat and let you know).
Nice blog BTW -- just discovered it with this post. You may be interested in my blog (new since April): Codex Blogspot


Thanks for this list. I'm looking forward most to Kloppenborg's James (to replace Dibelius) and Schussler-Fiorenza's Revelation in the Hermeneia series.

I know Michael Grisanti of The Master's Seminary has been working on the EBC Deuteronomy replacement. He was getting started a couple years ago when I attended there.

Wasn't Carl Armerding originally working on the Word Biblical Commentary on Judges? I've been waiting for this for several years now - a good detailed commentary on this book is certainly overdue IMHO.

Regards, Rob

Armerding was replaced by Butler by the publishers of the WBC series, apparently because he wasn't making enough progress quickly enough. NICOT agreed to take his work in their series instead. I'm not sure how that happened, because Barry Webb was supposed to be doing the NICOT on Judges. Maybe the same thing happened to him with them.

Rob,

Daniel Block's commentary in the NAC series on Judges-Ruth is very good, in my opinion, one of the best in that series in my experience. Highly recommended. A good exposition to go with it is D. Ralph Davis's little book on Judges; lots of character, exegetically sound, great for devotional work or preaching.

Does anyone have any info (beyond the two out this fall) on the authors of books in the Two Horizons Commentary series (particularly Matthew)?

The elders of my congregation used Block's commentary on Judges a few years ago, and they thought it was terrible. The one who did the most teaching thought he displayed a serious lack of imagination in reconstructing the situation behind the text, and both of the two elders who gave me reasons why they didn't like it said they thought his comments just didn't fit with what the text says. Of course, they didn't think there was really anything better on Judges.

Here's what I've been able to find on the Two Horizons series. If I had to guess who would do Galatians, I'd guess N.T. Wright, because he authored the Galatians chapter in the book introducing this series. That's more than speculation, but I wouldn't count on it.

I'm guessing Joel Green is doing I Peter. His vita says he's working on a theological commentary on I Peter and a full-scale commentary on Acts, which would be the replacement for F.F. Bruce's NICNT. Since he's one of the editors of the series, it's likely that he's referring to the Two Horizons volume on I Peter.

They're also going to be doing the Old Testament, edited by Gordon McConville and Craig Bartholemew.

These ones I know, assuming I can trust people's vitae and reports in various newsletters that Google turned up:

Numbers: Nathan MacDonald
Matthew, David J. Graham (but the report of that said it would be out in 2000)
Mark, Thorsten Moritz

Longman on Proverbs is now listed on the Baker site as due for publication in June 2006

Fyi, the following IVPNTC volumes are out:

Romans, Grant Osborne
I Corinthians, Alan Johnson

Mark Strauss is apparently also doing a revised Mark for EBC as well as Mark in the Zondervan Exegetical Series
http://www.zonderkidz.com/profile.asp?BioID=StraussM

The Hermeneia Commentary on Leviticus is being written by Gary Anderson. See his webpage:

http://www.nd.edu/~theo/faculty/anderson.html

Amazing work you've done here.

just wondering...I read in an old WBC that Joel Green was doing Acts, then in a latter one it was being reasigned (clearly to Walton). Joel Green though is now writing one on acts for NICNT. any thoughts?

Although it counts for little i heard, or read, Goldingay saying he was enjoying working on a big commentary on Second Isaiah.

Thanks again

That must be the ICC on Isaiah 40-55. I did have that in the list, but I also have seen a report that Francis Andersen was doing that. I wonder if Andersen's doing 56-66.

According to this, Eugene Carpenter is also working on a Deuteronomy commentary, but I can't find anything on which series (if any) it will belong to.

Dear Jeremy:
Great work snooping down forthcoming commentaries! Kregel is coming out with an exegetical/expositional series called KECOT edited by Bob Chisholm of Dallas Seminary. He's doing Judges/Ruth(due 2007, and they are talking to Allen Ross about Psalms. It will follow the idea of Chisholm's book, From Exegesis to Exposition (Baker). I'm working on a revision of my survey for 2007.
Sincerely,

Kregel Expository Commentary
on the Old Testament

Distinctive Features
Since competition for commentaries is keen, it is essential that a new series provide a convincing rationale for its existence. The most outstanding distinctive of KECOT is that each exegetical unit includes preaching strategies that grow out of the preceding exegetical analysis and reflect the overall message of the book. Rather than focusing exclusively on exegesis and expecting the expositor to build his own sermon based on it, KECOT goes one step further to provide guidance on how the preacher moves from exegesis to exposition.

Another distinctive is that the scholar and student will benefit immeasurably from the readable and rigorous exegesis, which is based on a close analysis of the original text. While the commentary will interact with scholarly literature and address technical issues, it will focus on the message of each literary unit and of the book as a whole, showing how each unit contributes to the book’s overall message and themes.
11/07 Psalms (2 vols.)

11/11 Daniel

Goldingay is doing two volumes on Isaih 40-55 for the ICC (T & T Clark). Luke-Revelation New Testament assignments for thr revised EBC is now posted at Zondervan (i. e., Liefeld and David Pao on Luke, Harrison and Hagner on Romans)and due out in Dec 2005 thru the middle of 2006. Gene Carpenter's Deuteronomy is actually an entry in the Zondervan Bible Bkgnd Comm. (on the OT (forthcoming). Note that Richard Hess is doing Job for HCOT (Jeremy has it listed).

Almost forgot. The two Goldingay volumes on Isaiah 40-55 are due in Nov. along with Robert McL. Wilson on Col./Phlm (ICC).

Just thought you may like to know:

I was reading a book entitled Covenant Theology: Contemporary Approaches ed. Mark J Cartledge and David Mills, one of the contributors being a Mark Bonnington, who I have never heard of but is Tutor in NT at Cramner Hall, St John's College, University of Durham. His Phd thesis has been published by Paternoster, entitled Antioch Episode of Galatians 2 in History. According to the contributors info in the front of the book he is 'writing a commentary on Paul's frist epistle to the Corinthians in the Between Two Horizons series (Eerdmans)'.

His faculty website confirms he is writing a commentary on 1 Cor too.

I eamield Mark Bonnington and confirmed he is writing 1 Corintians for Two Horizons. n regard to The Antich Episode in Gal.2 he wrote: Food-sharing and commensality between Jews and Gentiles followed clear patterns requiring Jewish avoidance of the dangers of table fellowship with pagans but allowing it in clearly delineated circumstances to the advantage of the Jewish people. Statements that Jews did or did not eat with gentiles is too simplistic an analysis. Early gentile Christian devotion to the God of Israel created a complicated new category of people and missonary motivation within a Jewish Christian subculture exactly the kind of positive motivation that impelled the kind of table fellowship we see in Antioch. Early Christianty thus gives rise to new opportunities and problems on the Jew/gentile interface that non-Christian Jews read within their own framework as unacceptable risk. On this Paul and Peter found themselves on one page against James, though Peter compromised in practice against his better instincts. Thus Paul claims Peter on his side in Galatia against those insisting on circumcison.

According to Amazon, Towner's NICNT commentary on the Pastorals is coming in Feb 2006.

Hi there

N T Wright is definitely doing Philippians for ICC. Whitley is dead and Tom has had the commission since at least 1990 when I started my doctoral work on Philippians with him.

I'm looking for a good entry-level commentary to 1 Corinthians (Fee is too massive!), and am trying to decide between Craig Blomberg's NIVAC one and Alan Johnson's new one in the IVP NT series. Anyone care to recommend one over the other, or comment on their relative merits?

Blomberg came out relatively early in the NIVAC series, and like many early volumes, is slimmer than subsequent volumes. Johnson did an excellent commentary on Romans for Moody and recently did over his Revelation for the revised EBC (Zondervan). His Corinthians is slightly shorter than Blomberg, but minus the NIV text. A tossup.

Kevin Cathcart is writing the ICC replacement volume on Nahum, Habakkuk and Zephaniah.

On the best choice for a medium-length commentary on 1 Corinthians, consider George Guthrie,1 Corinthians (New American Commentary) from Broadman & Holman which is due very shortly.

Allen Ross is doing Exodus in the KECOT series (Kregel).

I take that back. The KECOT Exodus is not yet assigned

You didn't list the Blackwell Bible commentary series. Great resource, thanks so much!!

Danny, I had intended to get around to it eventually, but I hadn't prioritized it, due to its not really being a commentary on the Bible but on its later reception. I've added it now.

Daniel of the HCOT (Historical Commentary on the Old Testament) series will be written by Jan-Wim Wesselius, Kampen, The Netherlands.

thanks John, I ended up with Johnson simply because it was easier for me to obtain. Looks very solid, although I wished that he had spent a couple more pages on the Intro.

BCOTWP Vol 1 Psalms by John Goldingay is now listed on the Baker site for publication in Aug 2006

However there is another commentary series on the LXX launched by the NETS project team. The names of the commentators have been announced. Full details on ccat/sas.upenn.edu/ioscs/commentary

Thanks Jeremy for the kind words

Can't Miss Forthcoming Titles (due Feb-May)

Doug Stuart, Exodus (Broadman)
Bruce Waltke, Micah (Eerdmans)
Matt Williams, Two Gospels from One (Kregel)
Tremper Longman, Proverbs (Baker)

John, do you happen to know if this Waltke commentary is an expansion of his previous work on Micah, or is it just a repackaging of the same material?

Waltke's new Micah is an expansion of his prior work with an eye towards theology and application in addition to exegesis

C. Clifton Black is no longer doing the commentary on Matthew in the NT Library. David DeSilva is doing 1 Peter in the Eerdman's Critical Commentary. And, John Painter is doing the Gospel of John in the Socio-Rheterical series.

I spoke with someone from Nelson Reference and Butler's commentary on Judges in WBC is not coming out till Feb 2007

You might be interested to know that the latest ETS newsletter is online. This includes a long list of forthcoming publications including a number of commentaries.

its available here
http://www.etsjets.org/newsletters/no30.pdf

here's some I noticed during a quick look through. I haven't checked how many of these you already know about...
NAC Hebrews - David Allen
NIVAC Joel, Obadiah, Malachi - David Baker
Cornerstone Leviticus - David Baker
Cornerstone 1 Tim - Linda Belleville
Cornerstone Numbers - Dale Brueggemann
Kergel Judges & Rytg - Robert Chisholm
PNTC 2 Peter, Jude - Peter Davids
CF 2 Kings - Dale Ralph Davies
Cornerstone Acts - William Larkin
Tyndale Ecc & Song of Songs - Tremper Longman

Yes, I noticed that last week. I think I only got one or two new things from it, but it does let us know a few that are going to be appearing soon that we wouldn't otherwise have known about (e.g. Davids on II Peter and Jude).

I have all of those in my list except the Davies one, because I don't have that series in the list. Would that be the Mentor series or another one? I believe Mentor is published by Christian Focus. It's harder to get this side of the pond, so I don't know much about it.

The Christian Focus commentary series (Focus on the Bible) is a bit like the Bible Speaks Today but is written with a broader audience in mind. They're conservative evangelical in outlook. All of Dale Ralph Davies commentaries are excellent. He seems to be working his way through the Old Testament historical books. He has a real gift for bringing the stories to life in their historical context, and applying them in practical and sensible ways.

I do know the Focus on the Bible series. I looked at Paul Gardner's II Peter and Jude through inter-library loan. I thought it was much thinner for an epistle than the BST ones I've looked at (Acts, Romans, James, I Peter) and more like the really thin OT ones like Ecclesiastes and Jeremiah/Lamentations by Kidner or Webb's Isaiah.

I just looked it up on Amazon, and it looks to be already out.

I've been exchanging emails with Craig Keener and he tells me his Acts for Eerdmans will be freestanding like his Matthew and John. It's still quite a ways off, but Acts is right up his alley. I've submitted the revision to my Commentary & Reference Survey to Kregel. It should appear late this year.

For anyone interested, I just published on my site the notes on Ephesians which will appear in the forthcoming HCSB Study Bible (Broadman & Holman)

Thanks, John. I've linked to that from a separate post.

I got the Revised Expositor's Bible Commentary vol 13 (Heb - Rev) a couple of weeks ago. The layout is really nicely done, and it looks like being quite a cost-effective series to purchase covering the whole Bible in just 13 volumes (works out considerably cheaper than series like BST). They still contain the NIV text, although R T France seems more interested in commenting on the TNIV.

It also looks like they've deliberately published Thielman's NT Theology and Waltke's OT Theology in the same format perhaps intentionally to compliment the commentary series.

I'm not sure what you mean by the format, but I noticed that the Thielman NT Theology and the Carson/Moo NT Intro have a similar look and cover style. The cover style has appeared already with the Dillard/Longman OT Intro and Grudem's Systematic Theology. I imagine Longman's revision will have the new internal style too.

I didn't even know Waltke's OT Theology was going to be out this decade, never mind this year. His website sounded to me as if it's a long way off. Amazon-UK has a cover shot of it, and Zondervan is listing it on their website, but the US Amazon site isn't listing it at all. That's a little strange, isn't it?

This is going to be in the forthcoming revision of my commentary survey.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank two fellow students at Dallas Theological Seminary who provided invaluable data-entry help for my first three self-published editions of my survey back in the day when I was a computer illiterate: John Day and Barry Gin.

Also, a debt is owed to Jeremy Pierce of the Parableman website for his comprehensive listing of forthcoming commentaries. (http://parablemania.ektopos.com/archives/2005/08/forthcoming_com.html).

I am further indebted to Dr. Robert Chisholm for my third-semester class on Hebrew exegesis. There, most students learned that gladhanding papers wouldn’t suffice. Dr. Chisholm taught me the meaning of true exegesis and that standard references are not always right.

BTW, Waltke's OT Theology will be out in Nov.

Thanks, John.

Thanks for the list. Here's another update:

R. P. Martin has completed 2 Corinthians for Cornerstone (NLT Commentary series). I have it in my hands right now. He will turn it in within 3 weeks.

He is also working on the WBC revision of 2 Corinthians, due to publisher summer '08

Hey, Jonathan, wonderful work. And thanks for posting updates on my commentary surveys. I have one suggestion. If you would like to make your website even more helpful, you could post the same info above in a book by book fashion.

John Glynn, when is your revision coming out?

Lane Keister

Jonathan? Did you mean me?

Last I knew John's review was coming out in 2007, but I don't know more specifically when it will be. Since it's pretty much done, I imagine it will be early in the year.

Oops, sorry Jeremy. I did mean you.

The listing by book rather than series is here.

My revised survey may be out by national ETS in November. They're typesetting it now. It'll bre a bout 25% longer (400+ pages). Thanks for asking, Lane. Jeremy, grteat work on listing the commentaries by book. You are truly a brother-in-arms.

I've since added a website exclusively devoted to a review of 2006 Bibles and Bible Reference which will be updated annually at http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeojt6o/2006biblesandbiblereference

Daniel Hawk on Joshua (NIVAC) has been reassigned back to Robert Hubbard. I got this straight from the horse's (Zondervan) mouth.

Regarding Psalms 2 (NIVAC): It was discovered after Wilson died that he had actually done very little, so Grant is essentially starting from scratch. Thus, the designated author, as far as I know right now, will be only Jamie Grant (M.A. Reformed Theological Seminary, Ph.D. University of Gloucestershire),Lecturer in Biblical Studies at Highland Theological College, Dingwall, Scotland.
