Reviews
As with all such series by different authors, the quality varies from volume to volume. The reactions vary from "Superb 2 Corinthians commentary" to "Matthew – Every time I looked at this commentary, it seemed as though he was spending more time doing redaction criticism than actually explaining the text".
Other reviewers have different favourite volumes: "Ellingsworth is deep, informative and technical when it comes to the Greek text. That is the strength of this commentary, and for such he is definitely worth owning and consulting." On the 1 Corinthians volume by Thiselton, "A monster of commentary on this great book. It is extremely thorough and deep. It is amazing to think so much information is contained in one book".
