Description: A clear but profound statement of the essential message of Christianity, the Epistle to the Romans has had a major influence both on great minds and on humble believers throughout the history of the church. Christians have found this epistle especially significant for its discussions on universal sinfulness, the meaning of the death of Jesus, the place of faith, the permanent significance of Abraham, the place of the Jews in God's plan, and other great doctrines. In this Commentary Morris takes a fresh look at the many problems posed by Romans and helps contemporary readers understand the complexities of faith and interpretation associated with the epistle.

In his introduction, Morris deals with matters of authorship, destination, date, occasion, and contents in a relatively brief but helpful way. The commentary proper consists of a careful verse-by-verse exposition of the meaning of the text plus full and informative footnotes. While first of all exegetical, the commentary does concern itself with critical questions, especially in the footnotes and Additional Notes. Here also the reader will find considerable interaction with the immense body of literature on Romans, but Morris's approach to the study of the epistle remains clearly his own.

The relevance of Romans for modern readers is as great as it has ever been for any earlier generation, says Morris, and we neglect it at our peril. His careful and thorough exposition enables readers to better understand Romans, one of the greatest and most spiritually uplifting books in the Bible.

"Morris has done something significant in a field in which it is terribly difficult to do anything else of significance. He has produced a carefully crafted, clearly expressed exposition of Romans from which specialist and nonspecialist alike can benefit."
-- Journal of Biblical Literature

"As a commentary for the novice exegete, this work provides a great amount of data and is a good survey of the literature. Morris writes in an easy-to-read, devotional style."
-- Choice

"Mature, clear, and readable. . . This commentary will be viewed as Morris's magnum opus. It is worthy of that accolade."
-- Southwestern Journal of Theology

Morris tackles the complexities of faith and interpretation associated with the Epistle to the Romans in this substantial yet easy-to-read commentary, written to be intelligible to the layperson while also taking account of modern scholarship.
