I do not know of any scholars around today who do not recommend this book as far as an in depth study of Matthew goes.If your wondering if its buyable I would like to say it is a worthy buy for this great Gospel.

The previous review should be rethought because while his comments may be true, regarding too much time for a preacher, this set is not advertised nor intended as a preachers' commentary. With that in mind, it is excellent when considering it is and was intended as a scholar/exegetical commentary.

What this commentary lacks in substance, it makes up in volume. Even with 1600 pages, Nolland has given us very little helpful information. For example, in his discussion on 3:10, Nolland spends an entire paragraph on the lack of firewood in palestine.It is obvious that Eerdmans has no real consideration of the limits of a pastor's time or budget (this commentary retails for $80). A very poor choice for anyone interested in more than trivial matters.
