Society of Biblical Literature \ - Christopher R. Matthews
...Bock provides a well informed, conservative treatment of Luke's Gospel that is particularly attentive to its language and use of biblical idioms. The discussion of the individual pericopes as outlined above is readable, alerts the reader to the principal issues involved in the interpretation of any given passage, and dialogues with a representative selection of the main secondary literature on disputed points....No one can complain that this commentary does other than what it set out to do. And although it will be appreciated by its intended, evangelical audience, even these readers will have to look elsewhere to get the full story.
