The Epistle to the Romans 1-8 (Vol. 1) (International Critical Commentary Series) [Paperback]

C. E. B. Cranfield (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 26, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0567084051 | ISBN-13: 978-0567084057 | Edition: 1 | Age Range: 8 - 11 years

For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis — linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological—with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series.

No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. The first paperback editions to be published cover the heart of the New Testament, providing a wealth of information and research in accessible and attractive format.

3.0 out of 5 stars A valuable tool to be used with discernment January 19, 2011

This is simply the best technical exegetical commentary on Romans out there. Even though it is not brand new, it is still the best. Cranfield's treatment of the Greek text is excellent and exhaustive. He presents supporting arguments for most of his grammatical decisions which many commentators neglect to do. The author however is a Barthian neo-orthodox theologian, and his theological conclusions must be read with skepticism, and his desire to draw neo-orthodox conclusions does impact his exegesis at times.
