Excellent Commentary,
By
This review is from: Word Biblical Commentary, Vol. 38B, Romans 9-16 (Hardcover)
These two volumes are well worth the cost. Dunn gives an excellent presentation of the background and issues surrounding the book of Romans. While clearly and accurately presenting all options, he presents the case for his own view point. He provides many helpful insights into the flow of thought and argument of the book. We used this text in seminary and it was very helpful.

Romans for all, at last!,
By
This review is from: Word Biblical Commentary, Vol. 38B, Romans 9-16 (Hardcover)
Professor Dunn remains unparalleled.In that commentary beyond the erudition that already is a mark in his works, there is a great sensibility in the explanation in each text examined. It is my favorite commentary on Romans.

This review is from: Word Biblical Commentary, Vol. 38B, Romans 9-16 (Hardcover)
As a serious "non-scholar" Bible student, I enjoyed using these two volumes when teaching a class on Romans at my church. I think Dunn is considered a leading Roman's scholar and his new perspective slant comes through fairly noticeably in this book. However, he makes a compelling case for his arguments on all issues addressed in Romans. In good scholarly style, he also quotes the opinions of other scholars who hold differing views on those same issues. I can't comment on his accuracy with his expounding of the greek text as I'm uneducated in those matters. However, even with my illiteracy in greek, his comments and interpretations of the original text were illuminating and understandable.
