The Acts of the Apostles (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries)

Very Good Sequel to Fitzmyer's commentary on Luke
`The Acts of the Apostles' in the Anchor Bible series, by distinguished Jesuit scholar, Joseph Fitzmyer, is one of the better commentaries on Acts I have read (with the understanding that I have certainly not seen all those done in the last 25 years, especially the very highly regarded one by Ben Witherington. Fitzmyer's volume has an advantage shared with several others, in that the same author ...

New Jerome Biblical Commentary

Sheed and Ward, 2002

Great Commentary
The NJBC is by far the best single volume commentary around. If you are a serious theological student and interetsed in good biblical research and scholarship then I highly recommend it. The contributions to it will help to broaden your search for accuracy and textual interpretation. The editors and folks who contributed to it have done an excellent job with the various exegetical criticisms ...

Mary in the Plan of God and in the Communion of Saints: Toward a Common Christian Understanding
Alain Blancy, Maurice Jorjon

Paulist Press, 2002

In this book, the Dombes group in south central France, which is comprised of Roman Catholic and Reformed scholars, has taken a fresh look at the place of Mary in Christian faith and concluded that she has been more the victim than the cause of intrafaith discord. While accepting the virginal conception and motherhood of Mary, both sides recognize the need for fruitful dialogue. It is the goal of both churches to come closer together by "giving ...

The Gospel According to Luke X-XXIV (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries)

Yale University Press, 1985

Simply the Best
I have used this commentary for just over twenty years now, ever since my very first class in seminary. I have never been disappointed with Fitzmyer. Like Raymond Brown's two-volume "John" commentary for this same Anchor Bible series, these volumes by Fitzmyer are simply the best available. The Anchor Bible format allows for extensive introductions that explore in depth the historical, ...

Paulist Press, 2008

The book seeks to establish the properly oriented use of the historical-critical method as the mode of ascertaining the sense of the written Word of God. Pastors, preachers, students in biblical disciplines, and scholars will appreciate the discussion of the role of the Bible in Catholic life since Vatican Council II, the discussion that the Biblical Commission devoted to the historical truth of the Gospels, the relation of the ...

Paul and His Theology: A Brief Sketch (2nd Edition)

1 review
Joseph A. Fitzmyer

Prentice Hall, 1988

A great look at St. Paul the Apostle
First off, this commentary by Fitzmyer can be hard to read. Stick with it though and it will pay off. His writing style can be dense, as it is crammed with footnotes and is rambling. Once you get used to his style, you notice how great his organization and ideas are. Fitzmyer really puts forth some great insights, and anyone who has read Paul will find themselves nodding their heads as they go ...

The One Who Is to Come

Joseph A. Fitzmyer

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2007

Christian Scholarship At its Best
I was looking for a book that dealt with the problem of Messianic prophecies in the New Testament, and to my surprise it was written by a Catholic scholar! While the author says he imitates "the early 'church usage' in seeing Jesus of Nazareth as 'the Son of Man,' 'the Servant of the Lord,' and even as 'the suffering Messiah,' because New Testament writers have predicated all these titles of ...
