I highly recommend his first volume and look forward to the others. The commentary by the late Gerald Wilson is also an excellent commentary that is both accessible and theologically [...]

I believe he told us he was about half way done with his second volume on the Psalms. I do not know if the publisher will use what he has completed or not.

Their publication schedule has been set back, and they may be interested in whoever will do a good job who will get it done quickly. The first person to come to my mind along those lines is Tremper Longman, who has a lot forthcoming but mostly with deadlines in the next year or so, and he seems to produce commentaries very quickly while still earning high enough marks from reviewers. I imagine someone like that might be more appealing to the publisher than a lesser-known student of Wilson’s who would continue in the same vein as Wilson’s volume 1 but take longer and not have the name recognition. Longman does have previous work on the psalms as well, and he did do a NIVAC volume for Zondervan previously, so I imagine they’re likely at least to consider asking him.

It’ll be interesting to see who they may assign to the second volume since they would probably want continuity.

I guess the Job commentary will be published. Since it didn’t mention Psalms 73-150, I’m assuming that enough wasn’t done on that, or they haven’t made a decision whether to use what work he did manage to complete.

I haven’t looked at the more scholarly works, but his Psalms 1-72 commentary is one of my favorites.

I wonder how far he was into the other work he was planning to do. Hendricksen told me his NIBC on Job commentary was supposed to be out this year sometime, so I imagine that will be his last published work, perhaps with someone else finishing it up if necessary. I suspect Psalms 73-150 will have to be reassigned.

I agree that his work on the shape of the Psalter is groundbreaking, and it continues to bear fruit in Psalm studies.
