F. F. Bruce's commentary on Romans provides clear and reliable verse-by-verse exposition of the letter in which Paul set out his gospel most fully. Bruce treats the argument as Paul builds it - human guilt, justification by faith, union with Christ, the place of Israel, and the practical obedience that follows - and gives particular attention to the contrast between flesh and Spirit in chapters 7 and 8.

The Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible says and what it means. The introduction gives a concise but thorough account of authorship, date and historical background; the commentary itself examines the text section by section and comments on individual verses as needed. Bruce writes with the historian's care that marked all his work, which makes this a dependable first commentary on Romans.
