COMMENTARIES THAT
CAN BE BORROWED FROM
ARCHIVE.ORG

Explanation - The following list includes not only commentaries but other Christian works by well known evangelical writers. Most of the resources below are newer works (written after 1970) which previously were available only for purchase in book form or in a Bible computer program. The resources are made freely available by archive.org but have several caveats - (1) they do not allow copy and paste, (2) they can only be checked out for one hour (but can be checked out immediately when your hour expires giving you time to read or take notes on a lengthy section) and (3) they require creating an account which allows you to check out the books free of charge. To set up an account click archive.org and then click the picture of the person in right upper corner and enter email and a password. That's all you have to do. Then you can read these more modern resources free of charge! I have read or used many of these resources but not all of them so ultimately you will need to be a Berean (Acts 17:11+) as you use them. I have also selected works that are conservative and Biblically sound. If you find one that you think does not meet those criteria please send an email at https://www.preceptaustin.org/contact. The resources are listed in alphabetical order by the author's last name and some include reviews of the particular resource. For hundreds of other commentaries and books that can be borrowed see Christian Commentaries Online. 

Preaching Luke-Acts by Allen, Ronald J.

James Rosscup - This conservative commentary is a detailed work in the Greek and is well-written. The author did the famous Greek-English lexicon and two books on alleged contradictions.

Bible commentary: the Gospel according to St. Luke by Arndt, William F

Poet and peasant : a literary-cultural approach to the parables in Luke by Bailey, Kenneth 

James Rosscup - Bailey discusses four Lukan parables at length in the first book, making a great contribution as to cultural data that opens up the parables. His data is based on studies while teaching for many years in the mid-East, also on extensive travels, correspondence, and scholarly probing into the literature. Particularly insightful are his remarks on Luke 15 (the triad of parables) and Luke 11 (Friend at Midnight). The second book continues to be rich in peasant cultural background, with data not available to many who study the parables. But the second book treats ten further parables (7:36–50 and others in 9:51–19:48, Luke’s travel narrative). These are well-done but not treated in as much detail. Both books are excellent in making parables “come alive” and making readers think. In more recent years both volumes have been put into one book. Cf. Hultgren in the Matthew section.

Luke comes alive! by Blanchard, John, 

Luke by Bock, Darrell L - IVP NT Commentary Series 428 pages  16 ratings

James Rosscup - One meets with a far shorter work than the 2-vol. effort. Bock says (12) that the larger work has focused on accuracy and rationale for views, this one on relevancy and relational matters of faith. Evangelical comments run quickly to their points, yet the generality causes skipping some key details (cf. on Anna, 2:36–38), or seem to argue around a more likely view with unconvincing reasoning (3:16). In other cases, Bock seems to select the most probable view, an instance being in seeing the sermon (Luke 6) as a condensed version of the same sermon in Matt. 5–7 (119). One can also find the second and third soils of Luke 8 taken to represent people not actually saved (148–49). One can wonder in 14:34–35 how inability to be worthy disciples is in harmony with salvation as a gift, for the work passes by this. Bock in most verses touches clearly on key issues, and an author lacks space to deal with every important matter, whether in a short or massive attempt. For a work with much application, cf. Darrell Bock, Luke (NIV Application Commentary. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996, 640 pp.).

Cyril Barber - A well-researched, well-outlined, and well-written commentary that is easy to read. Uses the text of the NIV. Adequately explains the theological themes relating to the life and mission of Christ. Recommended.

Patterns for power : parables of Luke by Briscoe, D. Stuart

Saint Luke by Caird, G. B.

Cyril Barber - One of the better works in this series. Contains numerous references to Jewish literature as well as pertinent comments on the text. Is of value to the preacher. Needs to be read with discernment

Luke by Evans, Craig A., The New International Commentary on the New Testament

James Rosscup - A lucid study, often of help on problem texts but cursory at times. Evans gives authorship by Luke “provisional acceptance” and feels that this issue is not vital to how this gospel is interpreted (3). After a brief introduction (1–16), general summaries of each section are followed by added notes on a few key details, with bypassing of many, such as Anna’s 84 years in 2:36–38, and problems of interpretation in 11:5–7. While Evans shows high expertise even when terse, one will find other works explaining far more to make their time fruitful.

The Bible knowledge background commentary : Matthew-Luke by Evans, Craig A -  This resource will give you very interesting insights and is worth checking on individual passages

The Gospel according to Luke (I-IX) The Gospel according to Luke : introduction, translation, and notes (X-XXIV) by Fitzmyer, Joseph A

James Rosscup - An internationally known Catholic scholar presents an excellent appraisal of “The Current State of Lukan Studies” (3–34) and has “A Sketch of Lukan Theology” (143–270). In explaining the gospel text, Fitzmyer has often helpful sources on various points. This will rank as one of the best-regarded commentaries at this time from the standpoint of awareness of critical literature and comments reflecting current learning. He gives his own translation and a fairly lucid, detailed exposition that is abreast of language, background, and views. It is a mixed bag with Fitzmyer, though. He often takes views that evangelicals appreciate, such as Jesus’ resurrection body being able to eat food. At other times he stumbles where there are possible solutions, as when he feels that there is no way to harmonize the accounts of Jesus’ resurrection. Indices to both volumes help find material.

The Gospel of Luke by Green, Joel B. New International Commentary on the New Testament 143 ratings

James Rosscup - Replaces the work of Geldenhuys (1951). Scholars will appreciate the author’s emphasis on literary and narrative criticism. Pastors, however, will have little to gain from this work.

Tim Challies - Most commentators on the commentaries commend this volume, D.A. Carson among them, though he offers caveats. He says it is “full of thoughtful interaction with contemporary scholarship, but I do not think it is either as rigorous or as accurate as the work of Luke.” He suggests that its unique strength is narrative historiography and discourse analysis. If you, like me, don’t know what that means, then perhaps choose one of the other volumes

James Rosscup - This work with pp. i-xcii plus 928 replaced Norval Geldenhuys’ effort of 1951. Green puts more focus on literary criticism, narrative criticism, and social-scientific analysis than on earlier issues about historical critical matters, redaction and source criticism, etc. One sees topics such as family allegiances, friendship, purity, and status. He seeks to show OT background for this gospel, and not Mark, or Matthew, or oral tradition. Green sets up a misleading opinion that Luke and those using his work were “not so much concerned with the issue, Did it happen? as with the queries What happened? and what does it all mean? (36). It surely is both. However, he does appear to believe that the details are fact in Luke’s perspective, but thinks Luke is more burdened with how to understand things (20). One can say that Luke saw the two in a necessary balance and need not have any thought of ranking them.

Commentary on the Gospel of Luke : the English text with introduction, exposition and notes by Geldenhuys, Norval, 

James Rosscup - Amillennial in its interpretation of the kingdom program, this work is solid and explains many verses rather well but is not the best.

According to Luke : a new exposition of the Third Gospel by David Gooding   9 ratings

Half-hours with William Hendriksen : stirring devotional surveys of Romans, Philippians, Luke and Revelation, with other gems by Hendriksen, William,

The Parables of Jesus by Kistemaker, Simon J.,

James Rosscup - A past national president of Evangelical Theological Society deals with all of Jesus’ parables and shows a lucid style, warmth, and broad acquaintance with scholarly writings on his material which is obvious in footnotes. He uses the NIV text. The contribution is very good on background, the main thrust of parables, key expository details, and the practical contribution for life. This is one of the best fairily recent evangelical works on the parables in general (cf. Bailey, Ellisen, Hultgren, Longenecker, etc, under Matthew and Luke).

Book of Luke : Jesus, the son of man by Lucado, Max

Luke by McGee, J. Vernon 

The Gospel according to Luke by Morgan, G. Campbell 

The Gospel according to St. Luke : an introduction and commentary by Morris, Leon,

Matheson (Ligonier) - Christians should pick up and read anything they find by the late Leon Morris. For those who may not have the time to dig into a 2,100-page commentary and are looking for a great introductory-level commentary on Luke, Morris is the place to begin.

Cyril Barber - A clear, forthright presentation of the facts surrounding the authorship and date of this gospel, followed by almost 300 pages of exposition. A handy and helpful volume.

James Rosscup - Morris has written a good conservative commentary of some detail. It is lucid and not technical in nature.

Tim Challies - The inherent and deliberate limits of the Tyndale New Testament Commentaries means that this volume is relatively short (370 pages) and written at a popular level. This is the entry-level commentary for those who would like just one volume on Luke. Morris has written commentaries on many books of the Bible and they are uniformly sound even if they are rarely considered the top of the class.

What are they saying about Luke? by Powell, Mark Allan, 6 ratings

James Rosscup - A well-researched, contemporary assessment of the teaching of Luke's gospel. Summarizes the contribution of modern scholars, and examines the dominant theories regarding the composition of the gospel. Intertwines political and social aspects of Luke's "former work" to describe the community about which the physician wrote.

Dictionary of Paul and his letters   180 ratings IVP Series

The Dictionary of Paul and His Letters is a one-of-a-kind reference work. Following the format of its highly successful companion volume, the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, this Dictionary is designed to bring students, teachers, ministers and laypeople abreast of the established conclusions and significant recent developments in Pauline scholarship. No other single reference work presents as much information focused exclusively on Pauline theology, literature, background and scholarship. In a field that recently has undergone significant shifts in perspective, the Dictionary of Paul and His Letters offers a summa of Paul and Pauline studies. In-depth articles focus on individual theological themes (such as law, resurrection and Son of God), broad theological topics (such as Christology, eschatology and the death of Christ), methods of interpretation (such as rhetorical criticism and social-scientific approaches), background topics (such as apocalypticism, Hellenism and Qumran) and various other subjects specifically related to the scholarly study of Pauline theology and literature (such as early catholicism, the center of Paul's theology, and Paul and his interpreters since F. C. Baur). Separate articles are also devoted to each of the Pauline letters to hermeneutics and to preaching Paul today.

Dictionary of the later New Testament & its developments 71 ratings IVP Series

The third of IVP's critically acclaimed series of dictionaries of the New Testament provides focused study on the often-neglected portions of the New Testament: Acts, Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation. Furthermore, its scope goes beyond the life of the New Testament church to include the work of the apostolic fathers and early Christianity up through the middle of the second century.

Dictionary of New Testament background 79 ratings IVP Series

 In a time when our knowledge of the ancient Mediterranean world has grown by leaps and bounds, this volume sets out for readers the wealth of Jewish and Greco-Roman background that should inform our reading and understanding of the New Testament and early Christianity. The Dictionary of New Testament Background takes full advantage of the flourishing study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and offers individual articles focused on the most important scrolls. In addition, the Dictionary encompasses the fullness of second-temple Jewish writings, whether pseudepigraphic, rabbinic, parables, proverbs, histories or inscriptions. Articles abound on aspects of Jewish life and thought, including family, purity, liturgy and messianism. The full scope of Greco-Roman culture is displayed in articles ranging across language and rhetoric, literacy and book culture, religion and cults, honor and shame, patronage and benefactors, travel and trade, intellectual movements and ideas, and ancient geographical perspectives. No other reference work presents so much in one place for students of the New Testament. Here an entire library of scholarship is made available in summary form.

HENRY ALFORD
The New Testament for English Readers
Luke Commentary

This version has less Greek than the version below. (1810-1871)

Read Alford's fascinating brief biography and Phil Johnson's related comments

James Rosscup writes that Alford's series on the New Testament "contains much that is valuable in the Greek New Testament… though all of the Greek New Testament words have been changed to English throughout." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (see his comments in following entry on Alford).

Editorial Note: If you are not proficient in Greek, you will find this work considerably more useful than the following work by Alford, because in this volume he translates the Greek and Latin into English. While the "The Greek New Testament" is longer (e.g., English version of 1John = 66 pages compared to Greek version = 94 pages in part because the latter includes comments of more technical nature), the substance of the commentary is otherwise similar to that found in the "NT for English Readers".

HENRY ALFORD
The Greek New Testament
Luke Commentary

James Rosscup writes that "This was the great work in the life of the versatile Dean of Canterbury. An outcome of this production was the New Testament for English Readers (4 vols.). Alford was a Calvinist, conservative and premillennial, though not dispensational. He takes a literal interpretation of the thousand years in Rev. 20 and has a famous quote there, is strong on sovereign election as in Ro 8:29, 30 and 1Pe 1:2, but, unfortunately, holds to baptismal regeneration in such texts as Titus 3:5 and John 3:5. He shows a great knowledge of the Greek text and faces problems of both a doctrinal and textual nature." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)

John Piper writes ""When I’m stumped with a… grammatical or syntactical or logical [question] in Paul, I go to Henry Alford. Henry Alford… comes closer more consistently than any other human commentator to asking my kinds of questions."

Charles Haddon Spurgeon writes that this text "is an invaluable aid to the critical study of the text of the New Testament. You will find in it the ripened results of a matured scholarship, the harvesting of a judgment, generally highly impartial, always worthy of respect, which has gleaned from the most important fields of Biblical research, both modern and ancient, at home and abroad. You will not look here for any spirituality of thought or tenderness of feeling; you will find the learned Dean does not forget to do full justice to his own views, and is quite able to express himself vigorously against his opponents; but for what it professes to be, it is an exceedingly able and successful work. The later issues are by far the most desirable, as the author has considerably revised the work in the fourth edition. What I have said of his Greek Testament applies equally to Alford’s New Testament for English Readers,* which is also a standard work." (Spurgeon, C. H. Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)

WILLIAM BARCLAY
DAILY STUDY BIBLE
GOSPEL OF LUKE

D Edmond Hiebert - Prints the author's own translation. A series of popular studies whose strong point is word study. Contains good illustrative material. Part of the author's interpretation follows a liberal position. Barclay holds that Christ's descent into Hades gave those who there heard Him a second chance.

Cyril Barber - Barclay provides helpful word studies, good illustrations and colorful historical data. Liberal leanings are evident in several places. 

Comment: I appreciate Barclay's unique insights on Greek words, but clearly his teaching about a "second chance" is NOT sound doctrine! Be an Acts 17:11 Berean with Barclay. See discussion of his orthodoxy especially the article "The Enigmatic William Barclay".

DARRELL BOCK
COMMENTARY ON LUKE
IVP COMMENTARY

IVP New Testament Commentaries are made available by the generosity of InterVarsity Press.

Rosscup comments: Evangelical comments run quickly to their points, yet the generality causes skipping some key details (cf. on Anna, Lk 2:36-38) or seem to argue around a more likely view with unconvincing reasoning (Lk 3:16). In other cases, Bock seems to select the most probable view, an instance being in seeing the sermon (Luke 6) as a condensed version of the same sermon in Mt 5–7. One can also find the second and third soils of Luke 8 taken to represent people not actually saved (148–49). One can wonder in Lk 14:34–35 how inability to be worthy disciples is in harmony with salvation as a gift, for the work passes by this. Bock in most verses touches clearly on key issues and… lacks space to deal with every important matter… For a work with much application, cf. Darrell Bock, Luke (NIV Application Commentary. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996). (Rosscup, J. Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

FREDERIC GODET
Commentary 
GOSPEL OF LUKE

Spurgeon has these comment on Godet: Dr. Meyer says: “To an immense erudition, to a living piety, Godet unites a profound feeling of reality; there is here a vivifying breath, an ardent love for the Saviour, which helps the disciple to comprehend the work, the acts, the words of his Divine Master.” (Spurgeon - Commenting on Commentaries)

Cyril Barber - An exhaustive, technical commentary that ably defends the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith while expounding the text. Deserves a place on the shelf of every pastor. 

D Edmond Hiebert - An exhaustive, technical commentary by a conservative French theologian of the past century. Godet's theological and critical conservatism is clearly revealed in this work on Luke. Of abiding value in spite of its age.

Rosscup comments: Though old, this work is almost exhaustive in dealing with interpretive problems and shows a wide acquaintance with commentators of all ages up to his day. He is regarded by Greek authorities as weak on textual criticism but strong on exegesis. (Rosscup, J. Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

BAKER'S EVANGELICAL DICTIONARY

BEST COMMENTARIES

CYRIL BARBER - from his excellent books "The Minister's Library" (Volume 2-1987 and Volume 3-2009)

  • Bock, Darrell L. Luke. IVP New Testament Commentary. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1994. A well-researched, well-outlined, and well-written commentary that is easy to read. Uses the text of the NIV. Adequately explains the theological themes relating to the life and mission of Christ. Recommended.
  • Brawley, Robert L. Centering on God: Method and Message in Luke-Acts. Louisville, KY: Westminster/John Knox Press, 1990. Takes advantage of the complimentarity of methods and combines multiple approaches for a fresh understanding of Luke-Acts. While many of the current literary approaches break radically with the traditional historical-critical methodology, Brawley's particular system develops a path between the current and traditional approaches. His method is theocentric, and it is aimed at showing God in relation to humanity.
  • Caird, George Bradford. Saint Luke. Westminster Pelican Commentaries. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1977. One of the better works in this series. Contains numerous references to Jewish literature as well as pertinent comments on the text. Is of value to the preacher. Needs to be read with discernment.
  • Conzelmann, Hans. The Theology of St. Luke. Translated by G. Buswell. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1982. †Having first made its appearance more than two decades ago, this work has now been superseded by other theories of Lukan theology.
  • Craddock, Fred B. Luke. Interpretation, a Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching. Louisville, KY: Westminster/John Knox Press, 1990. Provides key thoughts for preachers and teachers. Explains the central purpose of Luke's gospel. Interprets each section in light of its "confessional" or "sacramental" significance.
  • Crawford, Norman. Luke. What The Bible Teaches. Kilmarnock, Scotland: John Ritchie, 1989. Based upon the text of the AV. A popular exposition dealing with Luke's gospel geographically, not thematically, and drawing from the text important truths for daily living.
  • Fitzmeyer, Joseph Augustine. The Gospel According to Luke. 2 vols. The Anchor Bible. Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday and Co., 1981-1985. †This lengthy, scholarly treatment of the text of Luke's gospel with extensive footnotes containing critical data is ideal for student use.
  • Fitzmyer, Joseph Augustine. Luke the Theologian: Aspects of His Teaching. New York: Paulist Press, 1989. The Lucan writings form about a quarter of the NT. After re-evaluating the authorship of Luke-Acts, Fitzmyer discusses eight aspects of Luke's theology. Provocative.
  • Ford, Josephine Massyngbaerde. My Enemy Is My Guest: Jesus and Violence in Luke. Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 1984. †"This is a very readable and clear exposition of Luke's presentation of Jesus as an advocate of nonviolence. It rests on a profound knowledge of the political background in the first century" (I. Howard Marshall).
  • Franklin, Eric. Christ the Lord: A Study of the Purpose and Theology of Luke-Acts. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1975. Based solidly on Redaktionsgeschichte, this work seeks to explain Luke's writings in terms of the imminency of the parousia. Speculative.
  • Gooding, David. According to Luke: A New Exposition of the Third Gospel. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1987. Uses a careful analysis of Luke's literary structure to bring out this gospel's unique presentation of the person and work of Christ. The material is divided into two parts: The coming of the Son of God from glory, and His return to glory. Within these foci are many interconnected themes which, while they show Luke's skill as a literary artist, in no way lessen the historical value of his material. Imaginative.
  • Green, Joel B. The Gospel of Luke. New International Commentary on the New Testament. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1997. Replaces the work of Geldenhuys (1951). Scholars will appreciate the author’s emphasis on literary and narrative criticism. Pastors, however, will have little to gain from this work.
  • Hendriksen, William. Exposition of the Gospel of Luke. New Testament Commentary. Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1978. Fills a long-felt need for a comprehensive, scholarly exposition of this neglected gospel. Structures Luke's thematic presentation around Christ's words "the work which Thou gavest Me to do:' Treats Christ's ministry in terms of its inauguration, continuation, and consummation. Recommended.
  • Hughes, R. Kent. Luke: That You May Know the Truth. 2 vols. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 1998. Provocative and perceptive sermons that deal with the content of Luke’s gospel. For readability and practicality they fall somewhere between Frederic Godet and William Barclay. Lay people will find these volumes helpful.
  • *Kelly, William. An Exposition of the Gospel of Luke. Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian Publishers, 1981. An excellent handling of Luke's theme, replete with the author's own translation and an exposition that is at once refreshing and satisfying.
  • *Marshall, I. Howard. Luke, Historian and Theologian. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1971. Attempts to bridge the gap between those treatments of Lukens gospel that are solely historical and those that emphasize only the theological importance of his writings. A scholarly, well documented treatment.  Deals admirably with the theology of Luke-Acts and the mission of the apostles. Contains a postscript chronicling Lucan studies since 1979. A work of profound scholarship
  • Mattill, A. J., Jr. Luke and the Last Things. A Perspective for the Understanding of Lukan Thought. Dillsboro, N.C.: Western North Carolina Press, 1979. †An exacting, technical presentation of Lukan theology. Rich and full.

The author's scholarship is impeccable; his development of the purpose of the biblical writer is stimulating; and his exegesis is of the utmost value. This is a work that is sure to achieve "landmark" status
  • Nolland, John. Luke 9:21--18:34. Word Biblical Commentary. Dallas, TX: Word Books, 1993. Focuses on Jesus’ role as the “Suffering Servant of Jehovah.” Continues to search for the possible sources of Luke’s material. Takes note of the dramatic turn of events which begin with Peter’s confession of the Lord Jesus as “the Christ of God,” followed by Christ’s warnings not to make His Messiahship known
  • Powell, Mark Allan. What Are They Saying About Luke? New York: Paulist Press, 1990. A well-researched, contemporary assessment of the teaching of Luke's gospel. Summarizes the contribution of modern scholars, and examines the dominant theories regarding the composition of the gospel. Intertwines political and social aspects of Luke's "former work" to describe the community about which the physician wrote.
  • Reiling, J., and J. L. Swellengrebel. A Translator's Handbook on the Gospel of Luke. Leiden, The Netherlands: E. J. Brill, 1971. An invaluable work for translators. Helpful to pastors, too, for its hints as to the meaning of words or phrases.

  • _______, The Good News According to Luke. Translated by D. E. Green. Atlanta: John Knox Press, 1984 †Examines Luke and provides a detailed exposition that will delight the scholar. In Luke, Schweizer sees the Word truly become flesh, in spite of the supposed uncertainties of the historical details. He seeks to sift through the various myths that embody eternal timeless truth in narrative form so as to draw from Luke's writing a picture of Jesus of Nazareth. This work will appeal only to the scholar and offers little to the pastor.
  • Stein, Robert H. Luke. New American Commentary. Nashville: Broadman Press, 1992. Ably defends the Lucan authorship, attempts to show Luke’s dependance upon Mark, and dates the writing of the gospel between 70 and 90 A.D. While some aspects of Stein’s approach will disappoint conservative readers, for the most part he has provided a capable exposition in which he has championed the virginal conception of Christ and shown how the census could have occurred between 7 and 4 B.C. Other apologetic aspects of Luke’s gospel have similarly been handled adroitly and with an awareness of the needs of his readers. Unfortunately, there are times when Stein is careless in his translation of certain Greek words and their nuances. For the most part, however, this is a capable exposition.
  • Talbert, Charles H. Literary Patterns, Theological Themes, and the Genre of Luke Acts. Missoula, Mont.: Scholars Press, 1974. †This is a scholarly work that also provides readers with a detailed analysis of Luke style of writing. The search for Luke's admitted sources leads Talbert to take some unnecessary steps in his handling of this theme. He concludes his discussion by advancing information in support of his hypothesis that Luke organized his material around a balanced architectonic schema.

First published between 1876-1878 as a Suggestive Commentary, this work merited C. H. Spurgeon's approval. He wrote: "Well named 'suggestive'; it is all suggestions. It teems and swarms with homiletic hints."
  • Wiersbe, Warren Wendell. Be compassionate and Be courageous (both can be borrowed) Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1988. Together these volumes treat the gospel of Luke. Wiersbe, who is a pastor's pastor, outlines and expounds the text with exemplary skill. These books are ideal for individual or group Bible study.
  • Wilcock, Michael. The Savior of the World: The Message of Luke's Gospel. Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 1979. A clear evangelical exposition of this gospel. Avoids stereotypes and provides some helpful insights into Luke's special interests and style.

JAMES ROSSCUP - Reviews on Luke commentaries from excellent resource Commentaries for Biblical Expositors

  • Arndt, William. The Gospel According to Luke. St. Louis: Concordia, 1956. --   This conservative commentary is a detailed work in the Greek and is well-written. The author did the famous Greek-English lexicon and two books on alleged contradictions.
  • Bailey, Kenneth E. Poet and Peasant. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1960. Also Through Peasant Eyes: More Lucan Parables, Their Culture and State. Eerdmans, 1981. --   Bailey discusses four Lukan parables at length in the first book, making a great contribution as to cultural data that opens up the parables. His data is based on studies while teaching for many years in the mid-East, also on extensive travels, correspondence, and scholarly probing into the literature. Particularly insightful are his remarks on Luke 15 (the triad of parables) and Luke 11 (Friend at Midnight). The second book continues to be rich in peasant cultural background, with data not available to many who study the parables. But the second book treats ten further parables (7:36–50 and others in 9:51–19:48, Luke’s travel narrative). These are well-done but not treated in as much detail. Both books are excellent in making parables “come alive” and making readers think. In more recent years both volumes have been put into one book. Cf. Hultgren in the Matthew section.
  • Benware, Paul N. Luke (Everyman’s Bible Commentary). Chicago: Moody, 147 pp. --   A conservative, premillennial survey by a diligent young scholar. Often the book is helpful on problem areas, though brief. At other points the brevity of the series and length of Luke are among the reasons for over-generality that adds nothing to the understanding.
  • Bock, Darrell. Luke 1:1–9:50 and Luke 9:51–24:53 (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the NT). Grand Rapids: Baker, 1994, 1996. --   This evangelical work of 2,148 pp. begins with 48 pp. on introductory issues. It has an overview, a conviction that Luke was the writer and a careful one to give material not fabricated but as a first class historian (13). There is a summary of each section, also the theology (27–43), a 5-pp. outline, etc. Bock has, after each section’s synopsis, exegetical detail on each verse, weighing views, giving reasons, explaining customs, offering many interactions with vast scholarly opinion. Some details are that he concludes that Matt. 5–7 and Luke 6 present summaries of the same sermon (553), in 7:47 he shows why forgiveness preceded the woman’s acts of love, and in 2:36–38 he deals with views on Anna’s 84 years, yet has nothing about whether she lodged in a temple room or was just at the temple daily. All in all, those needing thorough discussion find it in these vols. with massive bibliography, indexes of subjects, authors, Greek words, Scripture, and ancient writings. This is one of the top evangelical works on Luke all-around.  (See Bock's IVP Commentary on Luke)
  • Bock, Darrell. Luke (IVP NTC). Downers Grove: IVP, 1994. -   One meets with a far shorter work than the 2-vol. effort. Bock says (12) that the larger work has focused on accuracy and rationale for views, this one on relevancy and relational matters of faith. Evangelical comments run quickly to their points, yet the generality causes skipping some key details (cf. on Anna, 2:36–38), or seem to argue around a more likely view with unconvincing reasoning (3:16). In other cases, Bock seems to select the most probable view, an instance being in seeing the sermon (Luke 6) as a condensed version of the same sermon in Matt. 5–7 (119). One can also find the second and third soils of Luke 8 taken to represent people not actually saved (148–49). One can wonder in 14:34–35 how inability to be worthy disciples is in harmony with salvation as a gift, for the work passes by this. Bock in most verses touches clearly on key issues, and an author lacks space to deal with every important matter, whether in a short or massive attempt. For a work with much application, cf. Darrell Bock, Luke (NIV Application Commentary. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996, 640 pp.). (See Bock's IVP Commentary on Luke)
  •  Creed, J. M. The Gospel According to St Luke. London, 1965. --   A detailed, technical work on the Greek text. It is, with the commentary by Plummer and the works by Fitzmyer and Marshall, among the best along these lines.
  •  Ellis, E. Earle. The Gospel of Luke (New Century Bible). London: Oliphants, 1966. -   One of the better commentaries of more recent years from the standpoint of explaining the text even where there are problems, though briefly. The author is an evangelical and well-versed in critical scholarship today.
  •  Evans, Craig A. Luke (New International Bible Commentary). Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1991. 416 pp. -   A lucid study, often of help on problem texts but cursory at times. Evans gives authorship by Luke “provisional acceptance” and feels that this issue is not vital to how this gospel is interpreted (3). After a brief introduction (1–16), general summaries of each section are followed by added notes on a few key details, with bypassing of many, such as Anna’s 84 years in 2:36–38, and problems of interpretation in 11:5–7. While Evans shows high expertise even when terse, one will find other works explaining far more to make their time fruitful.
  •   Fitzmyer, Joseph A. The Gospel According to Luke (Anchor Bible). 2 volumes. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1981–85. 1,642 pp. -   An internationally known Catholic scholar presents an excellent appraisal of “The Current State of Lukan Studies” (3–34) and has “A Sketch of Lukan Theology” (143–270). In explaining the gospel text, Fitzmyer has often helpful sources on various points. This will rank as one of the best-regarded commentaries at this time from the standpoint of awareness of critical literature and comments reflecting current learning. He gives his own translation and a fairly lucid, detailed exposition that is abreast of language, background, and views. It is a mixed bag with Fitzmyer, though. He often takes views that evangelicals appreciate, such as Jesus’ resurrection body being able to eat food. At other times he stumbles where there are possible solutions, as when he feels that there is no way to harmonize the accounts of Jesus’ resurrection. Indices to both volumes help find material. The Gospel according to Luke (I-IX) The Gospel according to Luke : introduction, translation, and notes (X-XXIV) 
  • Geldenhuys, T. N. Commentary on the Gospel of Luke : the English text with introduction, exposition and notes (NIC). Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1952. -   Amillennial in its interpretation of the kingdom program, this work is solid and explains many verses rather well but is not the best.
  • Godet, Franz L. A Commentary on the Gospel of St. Luke. 2 volumes. Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 1982; available from Philadelphia: Fortress Press; also 1-volume ed. available from Grand Rapids: Kregel. Originally issued in 1870. -   Though old, this work is almost exhaustive in dealing with interpretive problems and shows a wide acquaintance with commentators of all ages up to his day. He is regarded by Greek authorities as weak on textual criticism but strong on exegesis. Zondervan in 1959 also issued a reprint of the 1881 edition.
  • Gooding, David. According to Luke. A New Exposition of the Third Gospel. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1987. -   Gooding was formerly Prof. of Greek, Queen’s University, Belfast, and well known in many countries for biblical exposition. His writing of a simplified, flowing explanation is in 362 pp., moving section by section. He often refers to I. H. Marshall’s large work on the Greek text for more detail, as in giving six lines on the Luke 3 genealogy and referring to nine pp. in Marshall (78). He avoids other discussions also, as whether Luke 6 has the same sermon as Matt. 5–7, but says that Jesus, as many preachers, could vary material on different occasions (117–18). He generalizes “mysteries of the kingdom” in Luke 8:4–21 to refer only to “God’s way of salvation is a plan … which no one would ever have known anything about if God had not revealed it” (140). The commentary seems fair in a number of places checked, but is not as consistently profitable as several others are. Gooding has a similar (440-pp.) work on Acts, True to the Faith (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1990), which is helpful to a pastor in terms of summing up spiritual emphases in passages.
  • Green, Joel B. The Gospel of Luke (NICNT). Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1997. -   This work with pp. i-xcii plus 928 replaced Norval Geldenhuys’ effort of 1951. Green puts more focus on literary criticism, narrative criticism, and social-scientific analysis than on earlier issues about historical critical matters, redaction and source criticism, etc. One sees topics such as family allegiances, friendship, purity, and status. He seeks to show OT background for this gospel, and not Mark, or Matthew, or oral tradition. Green sets up a misleading opinion that Luke and those using his work were “not so much concerned with the issue, Did it happen? as with the queries What happened? and what does it all mean? (36). It surely is both. However, he does appear to believe that the details are fact in Luke’s perspective, but thinks Luke is more burdened with how to understand things (20). One can say that Luke saw the two in a necessary balance and need not have any thought of ranking them.
  • Griffith-Thomas, W. H. Outline Studies in Luke. A Devotional Commentary. Grand Rapids: Kregel, 1984. 410 pp. -  This outlines sections, arranges ideas homiletically, gives practical insights, and has crisp simplicity in wording. The author (1861–1924), Welch by birth, was a professor of Systematic Theology at Wycliffe College, Toronto, also a pastor, world conference speaker, writer of many books and a co-founder of Dallas Seminary. He died before he was to become the first professor of Systematic Theology, Dallas Seminary. Here as in Matthew, Romans and Hebrews he offers considerable help for pastors and the gist of things pulled together devotionally for lay people. He is well-known for his devotional work on Genesis.
  • Kistemaker, Simon. The Parables of Jesus. Grand Rapids: Baker, 1980. -   A past national president of Evangelical Theological Society deals with all of Jesus’ parables and shows a lucid style, warmth, and broad acquaintance with scholarly writings on his material which is obvious in footnotes. He uses the NIV text. The contribution is very good on background, the main thrust of parables, key expository details, and the practical contribution for life. This is one of the best fairily recent evangelical works on the parables in general (cf. Bailey, Ellisen, Hultgren, Longenecker, etc, under Matthew and Luke).
  • Liefeld, Walter L. “Luke” in Expositor’s Bible Commentary, Volume 8, ed. Frank Gaebelein and J. D. Douglas. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1984, pp. 797–1,059. -   Liefeld has a generally good introduction with a fine discussion of themes and theology (13 points). He is disappointing in his discussion of distinctive features (p. 798). He can be vague and not nail things down as on baptism with fire (857) and what 16:8b-9, 17:7–10 and 19:11–27 are getting at. Still, in many passages he is helpful on main aspects and clear, giving the expositor aid, mingling informative comment with practical material. He is conservative and premillennial.
  • Marshall, I. Howard. The Gospel of Luke. London: Paternoster, 1977. -   One of the leading evangelicals of the British Isles has written this. It was my privilege to read a section before Dr. Marshall sent it to Paternoster. It is a serious attempt to explain verses in detail, with a keen perception of problems and different recent views, and an attempt to take a stand on most issues. The form is somewhat like the ICC, and the author has sought to provide for serious evangelical scholars a technically and exegetically-based answer to Bultmannian-type theories that are destructive to the Gospel’s real authority.
  • Martin, John A. “Luke,” in Bible Knowledge Commentary, ed. John F. Walvoord and Roy B. Zuck, Volume II. Wheaton: Victor Books, 1985. -  Conservative, premillennial work of a concise yet clear and well-informed nature. Despite the brevity to which he is held, Martin frequently gives views and an assessment, as in mentioning two views on the parables of Luke 15: restoration of a saved person to fellowship or bringing of unsaved people to salvation, the latter of which he favors (p. 244). Usually he has something helpful to say on problem verses.
  • Morgan, G. Campbell. The Gospel According to Luke. NY: Revell, 1931. -This is a valuable commentary to have on the English text. It is one of Morgan’s better works in detailed exposition.
  • Morris, Leon. The Gospel according to St. Luke : an introduction and commentary Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1974. -   Morris has written a good conservative commentary of some detail. It is lucid and not technical in nature.
  • Pate, C. Marvin. Luke (Moody Gospel Commentary). Chicago: Moody, 1995. -  Pate devotes 521 pp. to explaining some of the pressing issues in verses, while passing by others with no comment or very general remarks that cover little. He uses transliteration for Greek words. In a dispensational effort, he reasons where relevant for a future restoration of Israel, and often supports Luke’s factual reliability. On certain problems he goes into more detail about views, for example on how the genealogies of Luke 3 and Matthew 1 relate (leaving this unresolved). He takes Matthew 5–7 and Luke 6 as giving versions of the same sermon, with variations explainable. Overall, the book is a fair medium-range survey exposition for those wanting brevity with attention to some of the leading issues.
  •   Plummer, Alfred. A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Luke (ICC). NY: Scribners, 1910. -   This used to be often considered the best older commentary on the Greek.
  •   Spencer, W. D. and Spencer, A. B. The Prayer Life of Jesus: Shout of Agony. Revelation of Love, a Commentary. NY: University Press of America, 1990. 296 pp. -  A comprehensive work dealing with Matthew 6:9–13; Luke 11:2–4 as well as with parables on prayer, Jesus’ emphasis on prayer in His busy life, New Testament words for prayer, Jesus’ positions while in prayer, John 17, Gethsemane, and the cross. It has a lot of good comment and ought to be refreshment amidst other studies. The authors teach at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, South Hampton, MA.
  • Tenney, Merrill C. “Luke Commentary,” in Wycliffe Bible Commentary, ed. C. F. Pfeiffer and E. F. Harrison. Chicago: Moody, 1962.- Tenney is limited in his space, but usually makes good use of it to explain verses so as to provide help. He is conservative and premillennial. Sometimes he is quite clear, other times one can only guess what he means when he is vague, as when he says that “the kingdom of God is nigh at hand” (21:29) are words complementary to 17:21, “The kingdom of God is within you” (p. 1063). Overall he offers a fairly good commentary for those wanting a brief study with considerable competence behind it.
  • Wilcock, Michael. Saviour of the World: The Message of Luke’s Gospel. Downers Grove, IL: IVP. 1979. - In the Bible Speaks Today series, It is a clear, homiletically well-organized 215-pp. exposition of the main thrust in passages, not an attempt at a phrase by phrase commentary. He often shows a refreshingly high view of the gospels, as when he takes the talents (Matthew 25:14–30) and pounds (Luke 19:11–27) to be different though similar parables with complimentary emphases.

WILLIAM KELLY

Cyril Barber - An excellent handling of Luke's theme, replete with the author's own translation and an exposition that is at once refreshing and satisfying.

KJV BIBLE COMMENTARY - Edward Hindson and Woodrow M Kroll

Well done conservative commentary that interprets Scripture from a literal perspective.  User reviews - 372 ratings - I have found the comments are very good but not generally in great depth. It is worth check as you may glean additional insights on a passage. It is not strictly speaking verse by verse but does cover many verses.

SERMON BIBLE COMMENTARY

JOHN TRAPP - Commentary

BOB UTLEY

Note: Utley is amilennial. Also be aware that he tends to replace Israel with the Church (see "Replacement theology") even in a straightforward passage such as Ro 11:26-note "all Israel will be saved". Of that passage He comments that one of the possible interpretations is "this refers in some sense to spiritual Israel, the Church (Ed: There is absolutely no justification in the context for this erroneous statement!), then goes on to add "The question of whether those Jews who were "hardened" will have an end time chance to respond cannot be answered from this or any text." (Ed: This latter dogmatic comment is clearly erroneous! Clearly the context is Jesus' Second Coming and the "end times" and the subject is the nation of Israel if the text is read literally). The only way to misinterpret this passage is to postulate that Paul did not literally mean what he said. Utley has some good material in non-eschatological passages but you need to be aware of his interpretative approach which is at times non-literal. Caveat Emptor!)

WARREN WIERSBE - Always worth checking for preaching/teaching points.

Rosscup - One of America’s most appreciated staunchly evangelical Bible conference teachers gives diligent, refreshing expositions. These are all of his 23 separate, earlier books in the “Be” series on the New Testament. He strikes a particular appeal with lay people as he crystallizes sections, deals with some of the verses, handles certain problems and backgrounds and applies principles. He is premillennial.

Cyril Barber - Together these volumes treat the gospel of Luke. Wiersbe, who is a pastor's pastor, outlines and expounds the text with exemplary skill. These books are ideal for individual or group Bible study.

Cyril Barber - This is a book (referring to Wiersbe's Expository Outlines) of exceptional merit. Pastors, missionaries, and Christian workers will profit from its use. Wiersbe introduces each book of the NT, provides an outline, and then furnishes his readers with a chapter-by-chapter discussion of the contents. The homiletic style is a “plus.” Recommended.

WYCLIFFE BIBLE COMMENTARY - Merrill C Tenney authored the Gospel of Luke. Scripture in left column, comments in right column

James Rosscup - Tenney is limited in his space, but usually makes good use of it to explain verses so as to provide help. He is conservative and premillennial. Sometimes he is quite clear, other times one can only guess what he means when he is vague, as when he says that “the kingdom of God is nigh at hand” (Lk 21:29) are words complementary to Lk 17:21, “The kingdom of God is within you” (p. 1063). Overall he offers a fairly good commentary for those wanting a brief study with considerable competence behind it.

J J VAN OOSTERZEE, D. D.
The Gospel According to Luke

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures - 1861.

Spurgeon writes "Oosterzee in Lange is excellent."

D Edmond Hiebert - In keeping with the series to which it belongs, the massive material is presented in three parts: exegetical and critical, doctrinal and ethical, and homiletical and practical. Conservative in viewpoint. Valuable for those willing to dig into its vast stores of material, much of which is definitely dated.

JOHN PIPER

ALFRED PLUMMER
The Gospel According to St Luke
International Critical Commentary

Detailed Comments Verse by Verse 3rd Edition 1900

Rosscup comments: This used to be often considered the best older commentary on the Greek. (Rosscup, J. Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

D. D. Salmond - It is distinguished throughout by learning, sobriety of judgment, and sound exegesis. It is a weighty contribution to the interpretation of the third Gospel, and will take an honorable place in the series of which it forms a part. 

The Herald and Presbyter  - We are pleased with the thoroughness and scientific accuracy of the interpretations. . . . It seems to us that the prevailing characteristic of the book is common sense, fortified by learning and piety. 

J. H. Thayer - It is a valuable and welcome addition to our somewhat scanty stock of first-class commentaries on the third Gospel. By its scholarly thoroughness it well sustains the reputation which the International Series has already won. 

Cyril Barber - A most exhaustive and helpful treatment of the Greek text.

CHARLES SIMEON
Horae Homileticae
Sermons on Luke

INSTRUCTIONS -  Click on the chapter below (bold font) for the sermons in that chapter on one page. 

Charles H Spurgeon writes that Horae Homileticae are "Not Commentaries, but we could not exclude them. They have been called “a valley of dry bones”: be a prophet and they will live." (Commenting on Commentaries)

John Piper says that Horae Homileticae "is the best place to go for researching Simeon's theology. You can find his views on almost every key text in the Bible. He did not want to be labeled a Calvinist or an Arminian. He wanted to be Biblical through and through and give every text its due proportion, whether it sounded Arminian as it stands or Calvinistic. But he was known as an evangelical Calvinist, and rightly so. As I have read portions of his sermons on texts concerning election and effectual calling and perseverance he is uninhibited in his affirmation of what we would call the doctrines of grace… What Simeon experienced in the word was remarkable. And it is so utterly different from the counsel that we receive today that it is worth looking at." (Brothers, We Must Not Mind a Little Suffering) (Bolding added)

Who's Who in Christian History says that "If Wilberforce is the most famous evangelical layman in the Church of England, then Simeon is the most famous evangelical clergyman." (Bolding added)

Paul Mizzi notes that "Hours and hours of toil and labour have produced this veritable treasure, full of scholarship and intellectual endeavour." (Truth for Today) (Bolding added)

B. B. Siegel notes that "One can easily find suggestive and practical helps in the preparation of sermons, devotional talks, young people’s messages, prayer meeting talks, Sunday School lessons and personal Bible study. The study of these outlines will contribute greatly to expository preaching. It is a wonderful book for your library." (Bibliotheca Sacra Volume 112: page 458, October, 1955) (Bolding added)

DISCLAIMER: Before you "go to the commentaries" go to the Scriptures and study them inductively (Click 3 part overview of how to do Inductive Bible Study) in dependence on your Teacher, the Holy Spirit, Who Jesus promised would guide us into all the truth (John 16:13). Remember that Scripture is always the best commentary on Scripture. Any commentary, even those by the most conservative and orthodox teacher/preachers cannot help but have at least some bias of the expositor based upon his training and experience. Therefore the inclusion of specific links does not indicate that we agree with every comment. We have made a sincere effort to select only the most conservative, "bibliocentric" commentaries. Should you discover some commentary or sermon you feel may not be orthodox, please email your concern. I have removed several links in response to concerns by discerning readers. I recommend that your priority be a steady intake of solid Biblical food so that with practice you will have your spiritual senses trained to discern good from evil (Heb 5:14-note).
