I'll look more, but for example, I would recommend Grudem instead of Jobes on 1 Peter. The fact that Jobes is a woman is one matter (and a Biblical matter, I believe), but especially for a layman I think her constant "Greek-izing" is a bit too much. And as someone who has 20+ years of Greek under his belt, I don't buy all her conclusions. I think Grudem is more helpful and more pastoral.
I know Jobes is all the "scholarly rage" now, but I frankly found her to be third or fourth on the list of helpfulness on 1 Peter (after Schreiner, Grudem, Calvin and others in no particular order).
