Nothing other than my own personal interest drives this request.

You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

Well, I can tell you that Nolland is brilliant! What a helpful commentary. Vanhoozer is dense, and complex but rather insightful on almost every page.
Scot McKnight reports some high-quality blogging on Drama of Doctrine at http://darkcoffeethoughts.blogspot.com/2005/12/reflections-on-chapter-1-gospel-as.html.
I hope to blog on Nolland's commentary soon, although I may write a review for a journal if the opportunity arises.
