The treatment of chapter 11, and 14.33-35 is irreverent and strange. I can't recommend this commentary on any level. Being scholarly does not mean -- as Fee seems to think -- advancing bizarre opinions and expecting people to believe them because you are the scholar. At one point Fee says "...seems certain," and such a tentative -- albeit authoritarian -- approach is indicative of this commentary.
"Seems certain." This is an oxymoron for the ages. Seems? or certain? It can't be both. Where there are a lot of seems, there are a lot of seams. The speculative tone of this work is troubling.
