Overall I find this a good commentary...,
By Pete Vere - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Commentary on the Code of Canon Law (Study Edition) (Paperback)
After reading the debate taking place between the other reviewers, I thought I would share my own feelings as a canon lawyer. Coincidentally, I happen to be friends with some of the reviewers on each side. This sorta summarizes how I feel about this commentary.Overall, I find it quite useful. Its biggest strength, in my opinion, is the commentary on General Norms, which is the first book of the Code. (For non-canonists, the Code of Canon Law is divided into seven books -- aka major divisions) General Norms are the basic canonical principles that define key terms and determine how the law should be applied. While many find it the most boring book in the Code, it is nevertheless the most important. Thus it is essential to any any good commentary on the Code that its commentary on General Norms be solid. The commentary in this book is stellar and I consult it regularly. Nevertheless, as others have noted, there are certain parts in this commentary, mainly in the book covering the Sacraments, that I would either question or disagree with. I would not say that any of the commentary is erroneous, but it does push the envelope on occasion. But overall, it's a good resource and the commentary on General Norms, which is very readable without compromising depth, alone is worth the price. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Incredible resource,
By Michael R. Mateyk - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Commentary on the Code of Canon Law (Study Edition) (Paperback)
Wow. What a great commentary. There is so much here that I have an even stronger appreciation for canon law than I did before. I am studying to be a priest and this book is really proving to be invaluable. And this is proving to be an invaluable help. There is history of the code, comparisons with the 1917 code and the code of the Eastern church. Really indepth and almost too much...almost.
