Product Description
Few individual books of the Bible have changed the course of church history the way Paul's letter to the Romans has. Whether one thinks of Augustine's coversion in the fourth century, Luther's recovery of justification by faith in the sixteenth or Barth's challenge to recover theological exegesis of the Bible in the twentieth, Romans has been the catalyst to personal spiritual renewal and the recapturing of gospel basics.Paul, in seeking to bring unity and understanding between Jews and Gentiles in Rome, sets forth in Romans his most profound explication of his gospel and its meaning for the church. The letter's relevance is as great today as it was in the first century.In Grant R. Osborne's careful study of Romans, readers will find an introduction that sets the letter in context and surveys its general content, highlighting issues surrounding its authorship, date, occasion and purpose. Passage-by-passage commentary follows that explains what the letter means to us today as well as what it meant for its original hearers.Students, pastors, Bible teachers and everyone who wants to understand Paul's message for the church will benefit from this excellent resource.

reviews
Excellent commentary 
This is an excellent commentary of Romans. Osborne interacts well with the Calvinistic perspective and makes a good exegetical defense of the Arminian perspective against Calvinism.

Concise and articulate 
I bought this commentary because Osborne is an Arminian and I'm doing a presentation on Romans 9 (I'm a student at Moody Bible Institute). His explanation of Romans 9 is extremely well articulated and expressed excellently. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it isn't technical enough for my liking, but readability is the goal of the IVP NT series, not overwhelming technicality.
