About this ebook

Paul's letter to the Romans has been called "the quintessence and perfection of saving doctrine." Perhaps the most challenging and thoroughly doctrinal book of the entire New Testament, Romans deals with many issues that are basic to Christian theology and practice. In this volume respected New Testament scholar Douglas J. Moo provides a superb study of Paul's letter to the Roman Christians and restates the enduring message of Romans for Christians today. Based on the English text but bringing into the discussion the underlying Greek at every point, this commentary focuses both on theological meaning and on contemporary significance. Moo contributes to the continuing debate regarding Paul's teaching on such issues as Jewish law and the relationship between Jews and Gentiles in the people of God. He also critically interacts with "the new perspective on Paul," highlights Romans's emphasis on "practical divinity," and traces the theme of gospel throughout the epistle. - Publisher.

Ratings and reviews

This group of commentaries is one of the 'Big Boys' that tries and succeeds way more than most to reach across our many boundaries and 'watch dogs' to give a meaningful and insightful look at the NT and writers like this one are well equipped and ready for the task. I (that being me, myself, and I) believe any serious student of Sacred Scripture well benefit greatly from this set that is of course if your made of money. I use a local Catholic University (they do have the best libraries 9 out of 10 times) and a copier or better good digital camera and put the part(s) I need in my notebookpclifelineholderofmylifeandknowledge machine.Look into this it caint hurit.

I highly endorse all the NICNT series! Fantastic interaction with the Greek.
