Romans

Despite being a standalone commentary shy of 300 pages (which would disappoint some), this packs a lot of punch in the mid-level arena. I think Mounce does a wonderful job at distilling down the meaning of the text without losing a lot of depth. He also does a good job of balancing exegetical or original language "issues" that come up. I find myself consulting Mounce first to lay a good "foundation" before moving on to my other commentaries on Romans. Great bang for your buck mid-level option!

Mounce does a fairly good job in this commentary on Romans, but does not deal in depth with most of the major issues in the book. It is a decent beginning commentary, but lacks in overall depth.
