The Epistle to the Romans. NICNT. Eerdmans, 1996.
The Gospel Coalition
Moo’s excellent commentary is meticulously researched, theologically sound, carefully written, and balanced in its treatment of those with whom it disagrees. more
Nijay K. Gupta
Now in its second edition, this is widely-known and appreciated as a carefully researched commentary with attention to the Greek text, but also offers Moo’s perspective on key issues in Pauline theology. more
Warren Truesdale
This is an exceptional commentary that is shorter (remember that this word is relative) and less expensive (and so is this) than Cranfield. more
Romans. 2 Vols. ICC. T&T Clark, 1975.
Tim Challies
Romans is a book aptly highlighting that up-to-date commentaries do not represent historical arrogance as much as sheer necessity. more
Phillip J. Long
Cranfield replaced the venerable Sanday and Headlam volume on Romans in the ICC series (available for free via Google Books). more

New and Notable
Romans: A Theological and Pastoral Commentary. Eerdmans, 2022.

in Romans classes on the undergraduate and seminary levels that are not based on the Greek text. more
Wesley Thomas Davey (The Journal of Theological Studies)
Romans may be a new genre for Michael Gorman, but one quickly discovers in it a convergence of the skills that have come to typify his scholarly work. more

For its intended audience, this is the finest commentary on Romans I have ever read. more

One of the world’s leading Pauline scholars offers a careful ex-position of Romans that shines exegetical acumen with theo-logical depth and pastoral sensitivity. more
