Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 1992
Martin Luther called Romans the clearest gospel of all. But centuries of interpretive tradition and dogma have muddied the waters! Edwards's careful exposition pays attention to literary detail and historical context to clarify the epistles significance for its original readers and for the church today. The NIBC format (section-by-section exposition of the NIV, all Greek transliterated, and separate textual and technical notes) make this commentary ideal for laypeople and pastors.

"James Edwards . . . has written the commentary I have been looking for: an exposition of the English text of Romans that takes account of the latest scholarship, refuses to duck the tough theological questions that keep popping up in Romans, and communicates in uncluttered English and effective illustrations. . . ."
—Critical Review of Books in Religion

This commentary on Romans is one of my favorite ones. (I have hundreds of commentaries-and am a preaching pastor who works exegetically from the Greek text).

Edwards gives a lot of great ideas on how to present the concepts. So for preaching, he's a goldmine (as Stott is also-but I like Edwards commentary more that Stott's). I don't always agree with his views on a passage, but always feel he's careful and that he does a great job presenting the view he has. This book is shorter than some of my commentaries, and does not handle all the issues on every paragraph that may emerge, but Edwards emphasis is refreshing and extraordinarily helpful for a serious student or a pastor working on a sermon from a Romans passage. This commentary is one that I will probably always refer to when writing a sermon from Romans. It is in my top three Romans commentaries and I would recommend it highly to everyone. (see also Moo, Kasemann & Stuhlmacher)

Excellent! December 29, 2003
Format:Paperback
Dr. Edwards now teaches at Whitworth College in Spokane Washington and I took his Romans class, using his commentary for the text and it was a fantastic way to get more in depth with the book. He is an accessible writer and person, making very good points, bringing things to light one might not think of even after many readings and also giving good background and historical context to the text. It is easy to read and he writes like a professor, making it worthy for students, scholars and pastors.

By Dan
Format:Paperback
This commentary, while not being overly technical, trolls the depth of this sometimes-hard-to-understand New Testament epistle, in a readable manner. As a pastor, I consulted this commentary on a few select passages relevant to my teaching and preaching schedule, and ended up just reading it straight through as a devotional.

One doesn't need to have gone to seminary or read Greek to benefit from it. For those familiar with the highly quotable commentaries of John Stott and/or William Barclay, for example, I believe Edwards is more quotable even to an audience of laymen. The only (slight) drawback for my personal taste, is the biblical text is not isolated; rather, it's inserted within the commentary in bold print. But don't let that stop you from buying this book. 5 stars.
