New commentary series

Posted on November 3, 2009 by Rod Decker

Although not much has been said yet, there is a new commentary series in the works, the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary. the general editor is Wayne House; OT editor, Walt Kaiser; and NT editor, Hall Harris. In the last letter that I received from the editor he encouraged us to talk up the series with our friends (“I hope that you are … spreading the word of EEC to your friends”), so I’m assuming that means this is now public info. I’ve been asked to do the volume on Mark, though I’ve not yet signed a contract. There will be a meeting at ETS this year (2009), and I expect to see a contract then. The big decision then looms: do I have time to write a commentary at the targeted academic level within their projected schedule? The series is being described as “between BECNT and WBC” in terms of content and academic level. That’s a fairly high target. I don’t know when the first volume will appear; it’s not imminent.

More info, including contributors list, is here.

    You may be surprised, though it’s one of your favorite companies, Andy. It’s going to be published by . . . Logos. In both print and e-form simultaneously. Logos has apparently decided to expand and try to get into the print publication business as well.

    Interesting. I’ve wondered how print publication will move forward in coming years, but to see a digital publisher start printing is a bit surprising to me.
