Hello all, first time post.
I’m getting resources together to lead my Bible study group through the gospel of John and his epistles next year. Though it’s just a Bible study, part of my responsibility is to give lectures for every four of the lessons, essentially sermons. As such, desiring to do my best work for the Lord, I study diligently as if I were a preaching pastor, because that is essentially my role in this case anyway.
With that as background, I have only recently become aware of both the mentor series and the Ep study commentary series. I have not used any of them yet, but it is my understanding that they are both reformed Commentary series.
But it seems that since they are reformed Commentary series there is less information available on them as to how the quality is.
So in preparing for the study of John I am reading Carson (pillar commentary), Keener, Ridderbos, Morris (NICNT), Kruse (Tyndale), and Klink (ZECNT). I am considering also purchasing the EP study commentary on John. Is this a worthwhile resource for me to purchase? Have any of you had any experience with it?
