    Favorite commentaries by today's scholars

    With Sproul's new work on Romans soon to be released, I thought I'd ask...

    Most everyone here (myself included) has an affinity for reading dead folks, however I am curious to see what contemporary commentaries are prized by PB brethren.

    The gospel would be better understood if the fact of universal sinfulness were more deeply felt. - Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910), commenting on Romans 3:19-26.

    Ralph Davis is superb. May be better than anyone dead on 1&2 Kings.

    Alec Motyer is also excellent. I'm sure there are more, but these two come immediately to mind.

    on Ephesians I found very helpful

    Peter T O'Brien, very thorough on Pauline Authorship

    and even more so, Harold W. Hoehner, recently departed (like Ridderbos)

    (Hoehner surprisingly doesn't buy the Circular aimed destination of Ephesians)

    and also the 2 volumes by Richard Phillips
    César Proença

    there is no will nor running by which we can prepare the way for our salvation, it is wholly of the Divine Mercy Jean Calvin Institutes II . V. 17
