Carson's monumental editorial achievement brings together a team of distinguished evangelical scholars to create the most comprehensive analysis available of how New Testament authors understood, interpreted, and applied Old Testament Scripture in their proclamation of the gospel.

The commentary's greatest contribution lies in its systematic examination of every Old Testament quotation, allusion, and echo found throughout the New Testament, revealing how the apostolic writers understood the Hebrew Scriptures as pointing toward Christ and finding fulfillment in the gospel. Beale and Carson's editorial framework ensures that each contribution maintains evangelical commitment to scriptural authority while employing the best scholarly methods for understanding ancient interpretive practices and theological reasoning. Their approach demonstrates how recognizing these Old Testament connections enhances understanding of New Testament theology, christology, and ecclesiology, while providing contemporary readers with models for seeing the coherent theological narrative that runs throughout both testaments.
