Romans

Bruce’s commentary is succinct, understandable, and both theologically and historically reliable. He presents helpful and relevant explanations of the text that focus on Paul’s main points: justification by faith, the relationship between the law and grace, and God’s ultimate purpose for Israel.

Clearly explains the extremely important book of Romans - accessible, concise, profound. As an expositor of Romans, Bruce shows why he has such a great reputation. Read this wonderful commentary and get a blessing!

A well thought out and well written commentary. If there is a negative it is that this book might be too complex at times for an introductory series like the Tyndale. It seems more like a mid-level commentary. The introduction has all information you expect and the final section which is a paraphrase summery of the book is a good way to gain some understanding of Romans before you dive into it. There tends to be a fairly lengthy commentary on each of the sections of Romans where most of the meat of the commentary can be found. Verses are then touched on as needed, often quickly breaking down Greek words or concepts. The author is a clear expert on his subject and good at explaining his thoughts on Romans and Paul. There are points which require a bit of work to follow along for the more novice reader, but the it is definitely worth the effort.

Reliable intro level commentary.

I always like to have at least one reader-friendly, lay-level commentary available. While Stott’s is also highly recommended, the best of these appears to be Bruce’s. It is necessarily too short and too light to be the basis of a sermon series, but the reader who appreciates it for what it is will enjoy it. [Full Review]
