The review discusses two commentaries from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series, focusing on Luke by David E. Garland and Acts by Eckhard J. Schnabel. It evaluates their intended audience, structure, and use of scholarly resources, noting concerns regarding their limited engagement with critical debates and lack of comprehensive commentary on the continuity of Luke-Acts. Despite the shortcomings, the review recommends these works as valuable for undergraduate students and general readers involved in Bible study and sermon preparation.
