“A somewhat unsafe guide to the unwary reader. When all has been said by the way of criticism, however, there is much in this work which makes it a most useful text-book for teachers. It does not pretend to be sufficient in itself; and, while they will be able to modify some of its conclusions by their wider reading, it will open up many lines of study not accessible in the usual text-books.”

“Is by no means representative of the best work now being done by German scholars. Professor Weiss is an able exegete, and he has studied the text with astounding diligence. He is fitted also by deep religious sympathies to be a commentator of the New Testament. The meaning of a particular verse he often states with surprising clearness. But insight into the historical processes which gave rise to the New Testament writings is lacking, and one who studies these works of evangelist and apostles in order to trace the life and growth of which they were a part will find little help in this commentary.”
