Pauline scholar Thomas Schreiner presents a fresh analysis of the substantive Book of Romans. Each exegetical unit of this commentary is divided into four parts: (1) introduction, theme summary, and structural outline; (2) translation; (3) paragraph-by-paragraph exegesis and exposition; and (4) additional notes that comment on unique themes of a passage, interpretive problems, textual variants, and other critical issues. This volume also includes these helpful design features: shaded text gives a broad overview of each exegetical unit, its place in Romans, and the way Paul expected his readers to respond to his words, unshaded portions dissect the intricacies of the Greek text, and a running outline at the top of each page keeps readers aware of their position in the overall structure of the book.

Thomas Schriener's Romans commentary is the best I have ever used.This commentary is both readable and scholarly. It is great for preaching, exegetical study, scholarly use, and bible study. I highly reccommendit to pastors and seminary students.

This is the only commentary on Romans that will see a 5 from me, in all liklihood. Dr. Schreiner deftly combines his knowledge of Greek, his interaction with the scholarly community, and yet maintains a readable text throughout with only minor exceptions.
He delves deeply into the meaning of the text, often pursuing seemingly random bits of information or useless arguments, but then he goes on to show WHY it was an important issue to cover. While I do tend to disagree with Dr. Schreiner on some of the issues within Romans, I appreciate his handling of the text more than any other exegete I have run across. This is the only Romans commetary I would recommend above Dunn, Moo, and the masterpiece of Cranfield.

This is, in several ways, a unique commentary. First, it is a goldmine for Greek students wanting technical exegesis in Romans. Second, it is extraorinarily lucid and, therefore, accessible to those with little or even no working knowledge of Greek. Third, the format is easy to manage. Finally, Dr. Schreiner interacts with of all the major commentaries on Romans. This is simply one of the finest commentaries available on Romans.
