Scholarly Resource
By MechPebbles
The strength of this commentary lies in those areas of Hebrews where the author builds up a strong and convincing case. He comes across very strongly on certain topics, like authorship. His thesis on Lukan authorship is really very good. Another area he seems to feel strongly for is in the hortatory passages of Hebrews, where he spends very many pages tearing apart the apostasy interpretation while supporting Loss of Rewards. These parts of the commentary are the best although they often felt repetitious and bogged down.
However, I feel that this way of treating Hebrews makes the commentary unbalanced. For example, the first 4 verses of the commentary alone take up 66 pages while some other verses, especially in the second half of the book, are given light treatment.
This commentary is significantly more technical than the ones I'm used to in the NICNT, NICOT and Pillar series. A lot more ink is spilled on things like discourse analysis and Greek grammar. I do not know if this is true of the entire NAC series or only of this particular volume as this is my first NAC. If, like me, you're fond of the NICNT and Pillar commentaries, don't assume you'll like this one. And if even the NICNT and Pillar commentaries are too technical for you, you really should avoid this book.
The author's favorite way of exegesis is to keep himself in the background; he is quite satisfied to quote other commentators, one after another, sometimes for pages. It tends to make the commentary feel directionless and compromises the argumentative flow. Frequently, the author recounts in some detail all the different interpretations the various commentators give, then leave off without any indication about his preference. Worse, the author sometimes seems to be playing a game where he challenges himself by stringing together quotations from other commentaries to form whole paragraphs, inserting a word here and there for syntactical coherence.
This volume will probably be valued by those who use commentaries as a resource reference but for those like me who read commentaries cover-to-cover, it is less satisfactory. The author is not exactly a model of clarity the way commentators like F. F. Bruce, Leon Morris and Gordon Fee are. Bruce's Hebrews in the NICNT series is such a contrast to this book; it's clarity, lucidity and communicability make it extremely readable. It's also a lot more balanced; it may not be as detailed as this NAC in those passages where this commentary favors with special attention but it covers all passages consistently and plays no favorites. On the other hand, I feel Bruce's Hebrews is a bit too lightweight for the NICNT series.
Allen gave me the impression he was a Calvinist as he was casually dismissive of Arminians who believe the hortatory sections were dealing with Christians who had lost their salvation. But in his first (of two) excursus, he tried to prove that Calvin rejected Limited Atonement by quoting Calvin's writings that seem to support his stand, conveniently skipping those that go the other way (for a more balanced and exhaustive argument read Roger Nicole's piece, freely available on the internet). It's amusing then that in the second excursus, he reprimands both Calvinists and Arminians for allowing their theology to dictate their interpretation.
I spent 7 months reading every word in both the text and footnotes. I have profited from it and was much edified but I wish the author had put some effort in making the commentary more readable.

Good but not Great
By Jordan Atkinson
Allen's recent commentary is good but not great. Unlike I do, he advocates a "loss of rewards" interpretation of the warning passages in Hebrews (377). In the process of defending his position, however, he criticizes other commentators who implicitly lack "considerable attention to [Hebrews 6:4-6's] exegetical, historical and theological aspects" (344). Allen devotes 33 pages to these three verses (344-77), whereas with most other verses in Hebrews he is rather brief. This unique nit-pickiness annoyed me, as Allen needlessly disparaged other interpretations of the warning passages in Hebrews other than his loss of rewards interpretation.
Particularly concerning Hebrews 12:14-17, 25-29 does Allen's view come to the forefront. I do not mean to demean the loss of rewards interpretation; my distaste with Allen's commentary is due to what D. A. Carson calls "cavalier dismissal" (in Exegetical Fallacies, Second Edition) of others' views. On 12:15's "fails to obtain the grace of God," Allen writes: "Hughes, in light of 12:1-2, took it as meaning falling behind in the race and failing to finish. He, along with Lane, wrongly interpreted it as implying apostasy" (585). By not explaining immediately after this why he finds Hughes and Lane wrong, Allen seems to dismiss their view in an almost rude manner. "Often what is meant by such cavalier dismissal is that the opposing opinion emerges from a matrix of thought so different from a scholar's own that he finds it strange,weird, and unacceptable (unless he changes his entire framework)," which I believe is the case with the above quote from Allen. "If so, something like that should be said, rather than resorting to the hasty dismissal which is simultaneously worthless as an argument and gratingly condescending" (Carson 118).
Later, on Hebrews 12:16's allusion to Esau, Allen rejects Lane's insistence that "`by descriptive analogy, he [Esau] is representative of apostate persons who are ready to turn their backs on God'" by insisting that Esau is not apostate but rather is God's child "under the old covenant" (Allen 586-7). This claim that Esau is God's child, though, does not seem to square with the Old Testament statement, "Esau I have hated" (Mal. 1:2-3) nor with its quotation in the New Testament concerning God's sovereign grace through election (Rom. 9:13). Further, in Hebrews 12:16 Esau is characterized as "sexually immoral," whom we know will not inherit the kingdom of God (Gal. 5:19-21). Here in Hebrews 12:16, Allen seems to "fall into the trap of putting theology before exegesis," which he accuses other commentators of falling into concerning Hebrews 6:4-6 (344).
I want to end on a note of commendation for this commentary, though. Elsewhere, Allen has written extensively of his theory that Luke wrote Hebrews (Lukan Authorship of Hebrews, B&H Academic: 2010). In this commentary, Allen summarizes his arguments on pp. 47-61. "When one considers the lexical, stylistic, and theological similarities between Luke-Acts and Hebrews coupled with the way in which a theory of Lukan authorship can be historically reconstructed from the texts themselves, there is impressive evidence that points to the Lukan authorship of Hebrews" (61).
Other than the occasional cavalier dismissal of other writers' interpretations, Allen's commentary on Hebrews is quite valuable. Its comparative brevity on each verse and interesting theory of Lukan authorship make it a worthwhile read.

Not the Best
By D Petterson
If you have a Southern Baptist theology you might enjoy this read, otherwise probably not the best. I would recommend F.F Bruce's commentary on Hebrews or Philip E. Hughes instead. Hughes not only gives a good exposition of the Hebrews text, but he also quotes early church fathers and reformers and their interpretation of the text as well which I found to be very helpful.
