| Posted 8/25/2004 2:04 PM (GMT -6) |   | Hey Ross,
I don't know much about what commentaries are out there or which ones are the best in general or on Luke in particular, I have, however, found the Life Application Bible commentaries to be quite useful for preparing group studies on Mark and James. Here's a link to Amazon.com:
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0842328521/ref=pd_sim_books_1/104-2665924-0687160?v=glance&s=books
As far as commentary sets go, I think the Expositor's Bible Commentary is pretty good. It has a lot of good scholarly information and is pretty balanced all around (e.g., it's not strongly biased toward either Calvinism or Arminianism, Dispensationalism or Covenant Theology, etc.).
Again, I haven't sampled a lot of commentaries, but in my opinion you can't go far wrong with the ones I've suggested.
Hope that helps.
Alan

| Posted 8/25/2004 8:25 PM (GMT -6) | | You can't go wrong with Calvin's commentaries, Matthew Henery's, or John Owen's. They're all good, reliable, free online... and darn right amazing!
Grace to you,

"So it is a more glorious work of power to uphold a soul in a state of grace and holiness, and to carry it on till it is brought to glory, when there is so much sin remaining in the heart resisting, and Satan with all his might opposing, than it would have been to have kept manfrom falling at first, when Satan had nothing in man."

Yeah Jee, he was a terrible sinner. I guess it's a good thing that Christ came to save horrible Christians. You have to also remember that that is when there was no seperation between church and state but that the church was the state therefore had obligations to do the like.
The state had obligations to kill people that theologically disagreed with calvin? Why?
Since there are plenty of commentaries by Christians who didn't kill anyone, I'd pass on calvin's.

| Posted 8/26/2004 11:05 AM (GMT -6) | | anything by BB Warfield is good stuff and same with John Gill's, John Lighfoot, Spurgeon, Luther, Augustine, A.W. Pink, and stuff found in the New Geneva Study Bible. These are helpful, biblical and for the most part, true. no flaky Christian jazz.
Blessings,
Borg

Calvin, wasn't he the one who had over 50 people put to death for things like differing from him doctrinally during his reign of terror in Geneva? Yeah, I wanna know what THAT guy was hearing from the Holy Spirit. 
Hey Ross,
A great free resource for commentaries is:

Ad homiden. Example. JEE has has sinned against God, therefore has nothing to say about God that is true.
