Hmm. It looks like there might already be a New Covenant Commentary Series:

William J. Dumbrell (Th.D., Harvard University) was for many years Vice-Principal of Moore Theological College, Sydney where he also lectured in Old Testament. He also lectured at Regent College in Vancouver, and Trinity Theological College in Singapore. He is the author of many fine books that follow some significant biblical themes from Genesis to Revelation such as Covenant and Creation, The End of the Beginning, The Search for Order, The New Covenant and The Faith of Israel. He has also written commentaries on Galatians, Romans, and the Gospel of John in the New Covenant Commentary Series. He still teaches at several Sydney colleges and at Macquarie University, Sydney.

    Hi Phil,

    I think that Galatians commentary is similar to Dumbrell’s Romans commentary. I also noticed at that link that he has written a commentary on John; however, the Galatians and John are not available on regular booksites (e.g., Amazon). What is this Koorong site and how did you come across these commentaries by Dumbrell. They look good.

    I don’t know much about Dumbrell. I just did a Google search for “New Covenant Commentary Series,” and this was one of the few hits that came up.

    I’m familiar with Koorong. I bought WBC for Libronix from them a few years ago for dirt cheap. A friend of mine who lives in Australia tells me that they are one of the largest Christian bookstores there.

    If you pick up any of his commentaries, I’d be interested to hear what you think.

    Thanks.

    I was not aware of his Galatians and John commentaries. I have read his Romans commentary, which is terribly short, but good (and I suspect the same for Galatians and John).

    It seems with Aida Besancon-Spencer doing the Pastoral Epistles, they are definitely gunning for an egalitarian view of church leadership (female elders, etc.) rather than a complementarian view.
