Jinathan,
In addition to Charles' ICC, as Edward suggested, look at Caird's
contibution to the Black's series and see now the 2 vol work by David
Aune in the Word Commentary series (on the whole an extremely valuable
series). If your German is up to snuff, there are the old Meyer
commentaries as well as the new series. For a review of the virtues and
vices of series in English and German, check out Fred Danker's
_Muktipurpose Tools_.
