Douglas Moo, professor at Trinity Evangelical School, gives the most thorough treatment of the book of Romans to date. Moo's commentary has much to recommend it. His bibliography is extensive and his numerous notes are almost always quite helpful. The layout of this massive tome is surprisingly easy to follow. And his interaction with the history of interpretation is fair and forthright, while his compelling exegetical prowess exposes the flaws in other approaches.

Moreover, Moo shows a unique sensitivity to the eschatological Christ-event as the center of Paul's theology and the basis of his ministry. This dynamic undergirds the whole of his exegesis, and leads to page after page of inspiring insights. Moo treats Paul's use of the Old Testament in depth and does a fair job of it. Writing from an Evangelical perspective, Moo defends the classic creeds of the Protestant faith ably from the text.

Moo's idiom is scholarly, but not inaccessible to the moderately well-read layman. For the sheer size of the volume, Moo is surprisingly economic in his style, and the mass of material collected here becomes a testimony to Moo's thoroughness and the Apostle's richness of thought.

If you are a pastor and there is one commentary on Romans you are going to pick up, this is the place to start.

A superior work March 10, 2001
Format:Hardcover
In every way, Moo's commentary on Romans is the best one can find today. Conservative without being anti-intellectual. Exhaustive without being pedantic. It took over a decade for this commentary to see the light of day, and we should all be thankful it did.

Moo's arguments in Romans 6-8 are cogent, thorough, and brilliant. His understanding of "flesh" in Pauline theology ought to be sent straight to the translation committee of EVERY NT translation board that has ever said (wrongly) "sarx" should be translated "sinful nature." (The NIV, anyone?)

Even on the rare occasion one ends up disagreeing with Moo's exegesis, you will understand how and why he said what he did. And, IMHO, that is the mark of a well-written commentary. He lets the text speak to him before he speaks to us. And I cannot give higher praise to a commentator than that.

An Amazing, Exhaustive Work November 27, 2002
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Moo's commentary on Romans is simply the best one-volume commentary available. He is extremely thorough and spends a considerable amount of space discussing all viewpoints before drawing his own conclusions. His analysis of opposing viewpoints is fair and balanced - often discussing all the points in favor of the interpretation before discussing its flaws.

Much of this work was originally written for a more technical commentary. For this book, Moo moved most of the technical discussion of the Greek to the footnotes. This makes the main body of text much more accessible to readers without a knowledge of Greek, but still provides the technical analysis for those who want it. He basis his discussions on the Greek text but uses the English words in the main text.
