Not at all liberal. However, for the everyday church guy, these volumes can get a little bit in the weeds on exegetical issues (issues with the Biblical languages and translations). They do also have practical application and your money certainly was not wasted.
So here is the encouragement. If you start enthusiastically reading a volume from the beginning and you start to feel as if the discussions on the languages are too specific and not at all helpful for you, then go to the Table of Contents and start reading where the verses are discussed one by one and glean the application that is there.
Whatever else you do, do not despair of any volume and give up on reading them altogether. Better to read the percentage of them that has practical application and leave the exegetical stuff unread rather than simply not reading at all.
Two cents (where did that emoji go? I can't find it)

Yes these! Thank you. I don't find the exegetical stuff difficult at all. I use logos to study Greek and Hebrew already and have a good understanding of scripture overall and a better understanding when it comes to the NT. I was really excited to get this and the "thoes gave gotten more liberal with the new updates, refund it" a bit discouraging so I wanted to make a post and get more then one person's opinion. I will defytake your advice and check out the table of context VBV.These guys?

I retract my previous comment on this series with its update. Ignore my comment as you overall assess this series.

Great stuff.
The new NICNT I watch out for...it has McKnight and DeSilva, the former is a new perspectivist and the latter believes justification is a process according to his Galatians commentary in that series.
I haven't found anything wrong with the NICOT yet.

I would add that the older ones in the series like FF Bruce and Ridderbos are very good.
I think there may be something to your comments. Perhaps it was an an over-generalisation, but there is obviously a trend away from traditional conservative exegesis. The Ephesians commentary is a good example.
