I am looking for peoples recommendation of conservative Bible Commentaries.
I am interested in pastoral or devotional commentaries on the New Testament.
Generally, any commentaries by academics such as Fee, Grudem, Keener, Thiselton are always worth reading. The only book in the list I have provided that would be in anyway pastoral, would be with Thiseltons Shorter Exegetical Commentary on First Corinthians.
Fee is a Pentecostal, though not a classic-Pentecostal, Grudem, Keener and Witherington are charismatics and Thiselton would be deemed as being open-but-cautious.
