This substantive evangelical commentary on Romans is among the most popular in the award-winning BECNT series, and it has been praised repeatedly as a great preaching commentary rather than only a reference one.

This new edition is updated and revised throughout, reflecting Thomas Schreiner's mature thinking on the interpretive questions the letter raises - the law, the righteousness of God, chapter seven, Israel in chapters nine to eleven. As with every BECNT volume it is academically careful and pastorally attentive at the same time.
