My first pick is Richard N. Longenecker.
Richard N. Longenecker, Distinguished Professor of New Testament
B.A., M.A. Wheaton College; Ph.D. New College, University of Edinburgh;
D.D., Wycliffe College, University of Toronto.
Books by or edited by him include:
- Biblical Exegesis in the Apostolic Period
- Paul, apostle of liberty (Twin brooks series)
- The Christology of Early Jewish Christianity
- The ministry and message of Paul (Contemporary evangelical perspectives)
- New Wine into Fresh Wineskins: Contextualizing the Early Christian Confessions
- Galatians (WBC)

Longenecker was also a translator for the NIV.
We can wait eagerly for his NIGTC commentary on Romans. My favourite book of his is his Galatians commentary which is my first port of call for looking up anything on Galatians.

I love Longenecker and all (I really do), but Bird, you need to check out the cover I did for your upcoming volume on Paul and tell me what you think.

Mate,
Excellent! If only I could convince Paternoster to accept it.
I have linked to your post here. He was always such an excellent speaker at our Inter Varsity group - humourous and open.
Try it. you never know what they'll say. I know that their Biblical Monograph Series usually has one of two covers normally, but anything could happen.
