Do most of the profs. in the NT department at Southern hold to Markan priority too? Why do you think there is a shift in modern scholarship towards Markan priority. If I am not mistaken, historically, Matthew is always taken as first. Markan priority is a new thing. Correct me if I am wrong. Thank you Dr. Burk.

I just finished going through Blomberg's comment. with Dr. Metts for class. Not bad, but France is much better. Have you seen Craig Keener’s commentary on Matthew?

I owe a debt of gratitude to Jonathan Pennington for forcing me to read it.

What is your position on Matthew priority? Matthew first or Mark?

What if he says something different? He might have a different perspective, or even one somebody might call "new". And if he doesn't say anything different, why buy the commentary? I confess, different is not better, but greater biblical fidelity is... so bring on the RT France. uhh ohh 2007! What if he says something different?

The only I have found is his treatment of the annihilationism debate in Matthew 25. I would also comment that France’s Matthew commentary is incredible.

I don't have the ICC set, so can't comment on that one, but France's volume has been excellent.
