Luke 1:1-9:50 (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament) (utgåvan 1994)

Though very technical at times, this is a very good commentary on the gospel of Luke. Bock is an outstanding scholar and gives good information. Some information is a bit superflous such as Jesus Seminar information, but I'm sure it is interesting to some. Bock is a dispensationalist so every passage that could be eschatological is according to Bock, which is a bit of a mistake in my mind, so I disagree with some of his theological correlations. Also, Bock's exegesis doesn't compare to Kenneth Bailey's on pericopes such as "The Good Samaritan" or "The Sinful Woman Forgiven" or "The Two Lost Sons", but nevertheless the scholarly information Bock provides, such as things pertaining to language or background material or historicity, can be most useful for the student wishing to go deeper in Luke's gospel.
