The translation is still nice for me, as I only know the meaning of the word about 50% of the time. it was great when I was still very slow at reading Greek, but now the transliteration it just gets in the way.

I haven't read Kostenberger extensively, but when I've used it I have found him close enough to Carson that I haven't felt the need to buy his commentary in addition to Carson's. One quick question on the format. Do you like having the original Greek+transliteration+translation every time? I feel like it clutters up the text especially when they're reproducing whole clauses or sentences. I personally wish they would drop the transliteration. Other than that, I agree with you, I love the format of this series. Thanks for the review, Mark.
