Good book. (

This is a very interesting commentary which provides a useful additional perspective over more conventional commentaries. However it is rather in the habit of presenting scholarly opinion about the historical background as if it were undisputed fact., While this may be partly down to the format the more frequent uses of phrases such as 'it is widely agreed' or 'latest scholarship suggests' would be welcome.
