THE BOOK OF ROMANS is a profound document, carefully crafted by the great intellect and pioneer missionary of Christianity—the apostle Paul. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote to introduce himself to the Romans and to strengthen the faith of these young Christians. The result is a concise, logical, and well-ordered presentation of Christian theology. In this presentation Paul affirms the great truth of justification by faith and explains the plan of God for all who believe the gospel.

This review is from: Romans (Life Application Bible Commentary) (Paperback)

I got some interesting insights out of this book during my recent 18-month study of Romans - enough for this book to be worth the purchase price. But don't get it as your primary study resource.
