Preface To The Second Edition
PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
It is a privilege, having written a commentary, to be able to avail oneself of the comments made by some who have used it and also of books that have been written subsequently. I have learnt much from the commentaries of Beasley-Murray, Mounce, Ladd, Sweet and others. The call for a second edition enables me to make use of this material and to go through what I wrote in the first edition with a view to amendment and clarification. I have made the New International Version the text I have quoted and this has meant a good deal of minor alteration. Sometimes when I have felt that NIV did not quite express the Greek I have made my own translation. I trust that this will not hinder the reader in any way.
My basic position remains as in the first edition, but there are many small changes. I trust that these will increase the usefulness of the volume.
