Summary: The best part about this commentary is the Introduction.
Comment: It's not that this isn't a helpful commentary. It's very good. But the exegesis is a little thin in places and there are more fanciful interpretations than one would like. It also seems to have a predisposition to being down on some of the historicity of the Gospel of Luke. But the introduction is great (even though it's starting to become rather dated!) This is no longer a first or second choice for Luke commentaries. I would get Bock and Nolland first. And Green's "The Theology of Luke" or Marshall's "Luke: Historian and Theologian."

Rating: 5
Summary: A magisterial work, even-handed scholarship.
Comment: Vol. 1 of a 2 vol. work, Fitzmyer gives the most thorough and well-balanced analysis, explanation, and exegesis of Luke in print. Not a light read, but it will pay continued dividends every time you return to it. Historical and linguistic insights, and very balanced "moderate" criticism. Enoromously valuable footnotes and bibliographical references. There are more recent "Luke" studies, but Fitzmyer will not be "dated" for many years.
