F. F. Bruce (1910-1990) was Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester, England. Author of numerous commentaries and other books, he served as general editor of the NICNT series from 1962 to 1990.

Expository Times
"Here is [F. F. Bruce’s] massive learning, thorough acquaintance with the ancient world, careful and cautious assessment of theories, love of Paul, and straightforward exposition of what Paul was saying. The student who works carefully through this volume will not only learn the main outlines of scholarly debate but will come to an understanding of the theological message of these letters."

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
"This is a fine commentary and is all that we have come to expect from the pen of Bruce, the doyen of evangelical scholars—clear, accurate, easy to read, and giving evidence of the author’s breadth of learning and charity when disagreeing with the viewpoints of others."

Religious Studies Review
"A summing up of a lifetime of productive study of these materials."

Themelios
"An evangelical student or pastor deciding on a commentary on Colossians would find Bruce a worthy candidate; on Ephesians there is simply no competitor. . . . As a single volume on the three epistles together it is of outstanding value."
