I've always enjoyed Don Carson's commentaries and his review of New Testament Commentaries that I used to get in the 80's when a theological student. Anyway, I bought the book because it was on sale and when I read it, it blew me away. I was expecting something thoughtful and insightful about the text, but there was so much more to the book that this. I'm guessing that Carson's name might have put off those who knew him as a NT scholar, but the book is well worth the read. I even have a quote from the book on my study wall: There is no future in frustration. PS Congratulations on the new toy, looks like a lot of fun.
