This is a phrase-by-phrase commentary and exposition of the New Testament book of Romans. This commentary is used as a college textbook, yet is suitable for lay church members. Romans was written by Paul during the same time period as 1 Corinthians, Galatians, and 2 Corinthians. Though Paul had not yet visited the Roman churches to which this epistle is addressed, he still deals with profound topics requiring deep, critical thought. From start to finish in Romans, Paul's goal is nothing less than the shaping and molding of our world views. With deftness and sureness, Paul covers such topics as the result of Adam's sin on the rest of God's creation, God's providence, the predestination of men and things, the Jews' place in God's administration of history, and the matter of how God saves individual people. Throughout, Paul relentlessly seeks to help us think God's thoughts after Him. Romans 1:16-17 is the epistle's theme statement - that the gospel reveals God's way of saving man, a way that has always been conditioned on faithfulness. Paul also presses the exclusive claims of Christianity - that God's way of saving man is found in the gospel and only in the gospel! There is simply no other Name or Way by which people can be saved; only through Christ Jesus can we have right standing in God's sight. No book or section of Scripture has been more important in the church's history and in the lives of some of its most notable leaders than Romans. Over the centuries, this epistle has been used by God to change men and nations, based on the gospel's revolutionary message that "The righteous shall live by faith." Romans contains many difficult doctrines. A series of Special Studies gives focused attention to topics such as the "Call" and "Grace" offered in the gospel; God's providence; sin; sanctification; the eternal security offered to believers; predestination; and faith, opinion, and love. Since this commentary presumes the God-inspired nature of all Biblical writing, the author seeks to harmonize the teachings of Romans with other relevant Scriptures, and frequently examines the original language in which the epistle was written. An annotated bibliography is included to encourage readers to extend their own studies. This commentary continues the author's series on the books of the New Testament. Written from the unique standpoint of the Restoration Movement, he can approach Scripture with no special theological doctrine or dogma to defend and explicate. This provides an unhindered freedom to listen to what the Holy Spirit would tell us within the pages of Scripture. By deliberately employing the grammatico-historical method of interpretation, God's Word is allowed to impress upon us the intent the Divine Author had in mind. The author is Professor Emeritus of the New Testament at Central Christian College of the Bible (Moberly, MO).

This Festschrift in honour of Richard N. Longenecker (author of Paul, Apostle of Liberty, The Christology of Early Jewish Christianity, The Ministry and Message of Paul, Biblical Exegesis in the Apostolic Period, 'The Acts of the Apostles' in The Expositor's Bible Commentary, New Testament Social Ethics for Today, and Galatians, Word Biblical Commentary) is centered on the theme of 'gospel' in Paul. Notable Pauline scholars discuss 'gospel' from five different perspectives: the historical, the theological, the hermeneutical, the rhetorical and the epistolary; each author discusses one of these five perspectives within one part of Paul's correspondence: (1) Gospel in Romans (2) Gospel in Galatians and (3) Gospel in the Corinthian letters. The volume promotes discussion both on methods of reading Paul's letters and on important historical, theological and hermenutical issues.
