Readers of the New Testament often encounter quotes or allusions to Old Testament stories and prophecies that are unfamiliar or obscure. In order to fully understand the teachings of Jesus and his followers, it is important to understand the large body of Scripture that preceded and informed their thinking. Leading evangelical scholars G. K. Beale and D. A. Carson have brought together a distinguished team to provide readers with a comprehensive commentary on Old Testament quotations, allusions, and echoes that appear from Matthew through Revelation. College and seminary students, pastors, scholars, and interested lay readers will want to add this unique commentary to their reference libraries. Contributors Craig L.

Summary: This review is for catholic readers
Comment: The book is fine and everyone who loves Scripture Study must have a copy. But don`t forget, these are protestant exegetes, of the so called "evangelical" line. What they called "Old Testament" is the protestant 39 books canon, and is well known that this was not the christian old Testament canon (please read "Hebrew Bible" in the IVP "NT Background Dictionary" and the article "Old Testament Canon" in the "New Interpreter`s Dictionary of the Bible", and in the "Anchor Bible Dictionary". Craig Blomberg notes that Jesus used Sirach in Mt 11, and we must thank his love for truth, but if you look for further NT use of the complete Old Testament, including the so called Deutercanonical, you better look somewhere else (What about the book of Wisdom in Romans?).
Carson is calvinist and the treatment on the theological meaning of James 2 is very sad. His methology is wrong: he doesn`t give us the meaning of the verb "to perfect" IN JAMES, and he did that to save his Calvinist tradition at any cost. James is clear: works make faith perfect, they make it complete and salvific (James 2:14ff) James doesn`t follow sola fide ideology. I have read and reread Calvin`s commentary on James 2 and in the end Carson follows Calvin, not James.
As I said this is a review for catholics. This book is a good one, I love it, it`s really useful as long as you don`t forget that the authors love Jesus, but they follow Calvin. They are are protestant...in this eon. But emunah as faith, fidelity (see Romans) that is fine. )Read The Septuagint as Christian Scripture: Its Prehistory and the Problem of Its Canon.

Summary: An Abounding Blessing in One Source
Comment: This book is phenomenal. It gives so much depth to the Scriptures that its first readers would have obviously saw that is missed in the English. It is both scholarly and useable for anyone who wants to explore the depth and unity of the Bible. I gave it five stars because it is worth the purchase. It is not perfect but is totally worth the money. This commentary will either go down in history as a classic or will spark other writers to write ones that will.

Summary: A wonderful resource with valuable insights.
Comment: This was an excellent commentary and in it, you will find many parallels found in the Old Testament, similar to phrases in the New Testament that Jesus used. The book is thick and it is packed with useful information, but I have not read it through entirely to date. It is a superior resource for further insights into the scriptures. I highly recommend the book.

Summary: Essential Reference Work
Comment: I agree with the consensus here. COMMENTARY ON THE NEW TESTAMENT USE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT is magnificent work. In 1200 pages (double columns) the contributors discuss all the citations and probable allusions to the OT. When helpful, Qumran material, intertestamental literature, Rabbinic literature and other material is referenced as well.
My only quibble is that the introduction could have been a bit longer and discussed some of the broader issues of the NT's use of the OT. However, many of these issues are addressed throughout the various commentaries.

Summary: Commentary of NT use of OT
Comment: Wow! This text is overwhelming but in a good way. It is exhaustive. Glancing through it I see every book in the NT represented with its connections to the OT. A reference work that I plan on using in all of my NT studies. A must have for the Bible scholar, pastor, minister, or seriously deep student of the Bible.
