(When I last checked, the hardback set went for over $500, while the paperback set went for around $250.) Thus I can only glance at it wistfully from time to time at bookstores or libraries. So I am not as familiar with it, although it is certainly a magisterial set. But the more I delve into France, the more pleased I am with it. For those with a bit less time and a lot less money, the NIC volume may well have to do for the moment. But if you can afford the ICC set, by all means grab it. There is also a one-volume abridged version of D&A, but I would tend to recommend against it. I should think it would be a bit like a one-volume abridged version of the three Lord of the Rings books, or a 3 hour abridged version of the three LOTR films.

To me, that is the absolute finest commentary on Matthew produced so far. Hagner's is also good but still no comparison. Andrew Kulikovsky How does it compare with Davies & Allison?
