In these recent volumes in the Word Biblical Commentary, Dunn preserves the overall sweep of Paul's thought and emphasizes Paul's Jewish background as crucial to his argument---two needs often ignored by other commentators on Romans. Dunn's hearty approach is seldom found in scholarly writing. Hardcover.

This is an excellent commentary on Romans, and having both volumes of Dunn's work has caused me to be a new fan of his. He has made this important Pauline letter accessible to readers in a remarkable manner. Just his explanations of the third chapter of Romans makes the volume worth purchasing.
While Cranfield's work on Romans is often lauded by others as the best, Dunn's work deserves to be considered at the top of the list as well. I highly recommend the series on Romans by James D. G. Dunn!!

Excellent commentaries. Thorough attention to original language, grammar, history, Pauls thought patterns,etc. I'll be looking for more of these for other epistles.
