C. K. Barrett's exegetical prowess, evidenced most distinctly in his volumes on the First and Second Epistles to the Corinthians, also in the Black's series, has long been appreciated in the world of biblical studies. Now, in his long-awaited, newly revised, verse-by-verse exposition of The Epistle to the Romans Barrett further enhances our understanding of the book of Romans, early Christianity, the apostle Paul and his theology, and the New Testament. This revised edition has been reworked, updated, and retypeset, and the inclusion of an index of ancient sources further adds to its usefulness. A master of thoroughness, historical backgrounds, and ancient languages, Barrett offers insights for scholars, ministers, students, and anyone who wants to know more about Paul's Epistle to the Romans.

Moments of Absolute Genius,
This review is from: The Epistle to Romans, Revised (Hardcover)
Charles Kingsley Barrett, key Anglican theologian of the twentieth century, is one of the most important Paul-scholars around. His commentary on Romans is short (compare Moo's 1000+ pager) and easily accessible and rewarding to beginners and long-time students alike. In his attempt to make Paul's theology accessible to all readers, Barrett sometimes opts for a less-than-full-orbed exegesis of the text. This is particularly evident in his translation. There are moments--some of which can last for several pages--when Barrett takes his readers right to the heart of the Apostle's mind and heart and lays bare the genius that has inspired and confounded great thinkers of Christendom for ages. Attributing his gratitude to Luther, Barth, and Nygren; Barrett draws from a wealth of historic knowledge from several different traditions, adding his own penetrating insights at some of the most crucial points in the epistle. His exposition of chapter one is worth the cost of the book.
