Commentaries on the Letters of Paul
The commentaries listed here are modern (published since 1997) and major (more than 15 pages per biblical chapter), but they vary in quality. Some are good analyses; others are not. Older books are less likely to interact with the good or bad ideas associated with the "new perspective on Paul." I do not list books that are "independently published" - i.e., self-published, or commentaries that are expositional, devotional or homiletical
Additional books may also meet the requirements. If you have any questions, please ask! In each entry, the last number is the number of pages. That gives an estimate of the amount of detail in each book. Links are to the amazon website, where many of these books can be previewed. “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”

I do not have a list for the other letters of Paul.
If you know of another commentary that is suitably recent and suitably long, please ask if it can be added to the list. In general, I do not accept expositional works, preacher’s outlines, or similar homiletic aids.
