The Jerome Biblical Commentary has been an invaluable resource book for me during the past twenty years Because of developments in biblical scholarship during the past quarter of a century the revision of the Jerome Biblical Commentary means that a fresh work has been produced and this is much to be welcomed to have an authoritative commentary of the biblical texts is of immense importance Students, priests, and educated lay people have the right to be given the best fruits of biblical scholarship and it is contained in this volume. I warmly commend it.
Rt Rev. Cormac Murphy-O'Connor Bishop of Arundel & Brighton and j Co-Chairman 2nd Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission
The study of the Scriptures has been one of the most fruitful areas of ecumenical co-operation . . . The Neto Jerome Biblical Commentary will surely perform a . . . service to the whole Christian community in the English-speaking world.
Rt Rev. Mark Santer Bishop of Birmingham and Anglican Co-Chairman
It will be hard to rival this magnificent achievement.
The Tablet
It can be confidently recommended as the one-volume critical exegetical commentary.
Church Times
quite outstanding first-rate critical study [of Jesus in the article by John P. Meier].
Expository Times
The single most important work for ijse with the Scriptures, and the standard general reference work for the rest of the century. To say that it is a 'book one must have' is to put it mildly.
